Anselmo, a male hairdresser also based in Zwelihle, has expanded his salon to employ a second person through business mentorship and proper costing.

Florence, a single mother from Hawston, has grown her home-based catering business to fully support her family. Her dedication has seen her business flourish over the past year.

Wendy is renowned for her traditional wear and high-quality garments in Zwelihle. Her reputation continues to grow as she now stocks material for her customers.
