On Friday, 14 July 2023, the Special Programmes Unit continued with its initiative of proving support to young entrepreneurs as a tool to address Youth Unemployment challenges in the Alfred Nzo District.
Friday’s programme was led by Cllr. Sonyabashe and she officially handed over to The Joint Restaurant a display refrigerator as well as a meat band saw (meat cutting machine).
The beneficiary, Mr. Sizwe Dikwayo, expressed much gratitude, appreciating the work done by both Alfred Nzo District Municipality and Umzimvubu Local Municipality in assisting small businesses, particularly those led by disabled people.
Alfred Nzo District Municipality encourages young people to start business initiatives and is willing to invest in such initiatives.
