Entrepreneurship Programme Update: Success Stories from Zwelihle and Hawston

At Grootbos Foundation, we are proud to share the inspiring progress of entrepreneurs in our programme:

Luleka has turned her spaza shop in the remote Zwelihle township into a thriving full-time business that now supports her family.

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.

Sizwe, an enthusiastic auto-electrician with a heart for helping others, is steadily building a strong business in Zwelihle.

We are proud of these hardworking entrepreneurs who continue to develop their businesses and uplift their communities.
