A Visionary Entrepreneur with a Purpose

In October 2022, Nicole Koopman launched KeyChain SA, a groundbreaking venture offering self-defense keychains and accessories for women.

Determined Advocate for Change

Nicole’s passion for making a difference extends beyond her business. Witnessing the rising crime and a lack of safety measures in South Africa, she became certified as an OPPS Self Defence Instructor, specializing in Close Quarter Combat (CQC) LV1 Un-Armed. Her goal is to be a catalyst for positive change.


Empowering Communities, One Class at a Time

Nicole is committed to making self-defense training accessible to those who need it most, including low-income areas. Her mission is to equip women and children with the skills they need to feel safe and empowered.

A Social Media Maven with a Purpose

Known as “@cola_pops” on TikTok, Nicole engages a large audience with her inspiring content, sharing stories of resilience, empowerment, and behind-the-scenes glimpses of her life and business.

Corporate Empowerment and Social Responsibility

Nicole offers tailored corporate self-defense classes, ranging from one-hour sessions to comprehensive eight-hour courses. A portion of the proceeds is directed towards funding self-defense training in underserved communities, reinforcing her commitment to social responsibility.

Nicole’s journey is one of resilience, compassion, and empowerment. Through KeyChain SA, she is creating a safer future for herself, her daughter, and communities across South Africa.
