The managing director and owner of a local WiFi business said he believes failure is not the end, but a stepping stone towards something greater.
Delft resident Charlton Loubscher started Errorless Connection and Infrastructure in 2025 after a personal experience with slow WiFi. “One day while dealing with slow internet at home, I joked with a friend about upgrading my package, even saying I may as well start my own internet business. To my surprise, he told me it was actually possible. That moment sparked my curiosity and I was introduced to Grant Skippers, who has deep knowledge and experience in the network industry. From there things started to take shape. We began building slowly, investing in equipment piece by piece and today we are steadily growing.”
Vision
From a young age he always had the vision of building something of his own, an empire that could create opportunities for himself and others. “Over the years I have explored different business ventures. Some succeeded, while others failed, but I have always believed failure is not the end. As MD, I have to give credit where it is due. Grant has played a major role in helping to build this business and I truly value his dedication and expertise. My goal is not just to build a successful company but to change lives, including his. I want to see him reach a place where he can own his own home, provide fully for his family and experience the growth and stability that he is helping me build,” he says.
Building the business has not always been smooth sailing. “Like many a small businesses we faced our own financial challenges, especially at the beginning. There were times when we had client demand but not enough equipment or resources to service everyone immediately. We also experienced losses by investing in equipment that didn’t always work as expected, sometimes having to sell it at a loss just to keep moving forward. Through the moments of uncertainty, we stayed focused, kept pushing forward and continued believing in the bigger visions.”
He said the advice he can give young entrepreneurs is “to start before you feel ready. Many people wait for the perfect time, the perfect plan or enough money, but the truth is you grow into the business as you go. Failure is part of the journey, not something to fear. Stay consistent, stay disciplined and stay focused on your purpose. Surround yourself with people who believe in your vision and don’t be afraid to start small. If you keep showing up every day and learning from your mistakes, success becomes inevitable.”
Chance meeting
A chance meeting with ward councillor for Bonteheuwel, Angus McKenzie, gave the business a boost, but also brought it closer to one of the founding principles of giving back to the community. “My wife was printing papers for a school assignment for our child at the Civic Centre when she met McKenzie. I was sitting in the car in my pyjamas, while she started a conversation inside, telling McKenzie what I did, and he requested a meeting with me. I truly believe God put him in my path, because we contributed to providing free WiFi to public places in Bonteheuwel. Giving back is important because the community is the foundation of any business. Without people supporting you there is no growth.
“For me it’s not just about providing a service; it’s about creating opportunities. Access to the internet today means access to education, job opportunities and information. That’s why we believe in initiatives such as providing WiFi in community spaces, so those who cannot afford it, still have access to opportunities that can improve their lives. When a business grows with the community in mind everyone benefits.”
