Driving Entrepreneurial Growth Through Strategic Partnerships 🌟

Over the past two weeks, the GIBS Enterprise Development Academy (EDA) has engaged stakeholders in the Free State and North West to recruit for the Bank SETA–sponsored Entrepreneurship Development Programme.
The programme targets early-stage entrepreneurs looking to strengthen their skills, refine their ideas, and build sustainable ventures.
A key highlight was engagement with Mahikeng Executive Mayor, Cllr. Tshepiso Mphehlo, whose support, including access to networks and a training venue, reflects the power of collaboration in driving inclusive growth.
We look forward to empowering entrepreneurs and strengthening local economies.
