Establishing a business in the township and maintaining it has been a challenge for entrepreneurs
Establishing a business in the township and maintaining it has been a challenge for budding entrepreneurs in Gauteng. However some young entrepreneurs are striving against all odds – not only to establish and build their own brands, but to also employ those in their communities.
“I work here at the car wash – the car wash has helped us so much and we have let go of the outside hectic life or social ills and we are not focused. It has helped a lot and has helped us even establish our own businesses.” Vendors occupy street corners while it seems to be easy to find a car mechanic – the obvious choice of business, in Tembisa, Ekurhuleni – is a bakery – bringing fresh bread daily to the community for just R10 a loaf.
It’s impossible to ignore the trucks from the big bread companies delivering bread to the township – but Khumalo says his fresh bread offers better value for money.
