Willowvale<\/p>\n
Mbhashe Local Municipality, in partnership with the Small Enterprise Development and Finance Agency (SEDFA), officially handed over registration certificates with CIPC, SARS, and BEE to 10 emerging SMMEs at the Indoor Sport Centre in Willowvale.<\/p>\n
This initiative forms part of the Municipality\u2019s ongoing commitment to support local economic growth, empower entrepreneurs, and promote sustainable business development. By assisting small enterprises with formal registration, Mbhashe aims to unlock access to funding opportunities, training, and markets for rural entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n
\u201cToday we are not just giving certificates we are opening doors for opportunity, growth, and economic participation,\u201d said the Development Planning Portfolio Head, Cllr Nomvuyiseko Mgedezi.<\/p>\n
In addition to the handover, a two-day training session for SMMEs and cooperatives will be conducted to equip participants with essential business management, financial literacy, and compliance skills. The training aims to strengthen their capacity to operate sustainably, compete effectively, and contribute meaningfully to the local economy.<\/p>\n
During the event, municipal councillors and SEDA representatives encouraged the beneficiaries to use this milestone as a foundation for business expansion and job creation within the Mbhashe region.<\/p>\n
