Intervention Insights and Results

Intervention Details: Venty’s Restaurant approached SEDFA in the year 2024 seeking assistance with funding of their business operations. He was then later referred for business training in Basic business skills to enhance Mr Prince Moloto’s business acumen. He was also assisted with application of funding through Wholesale and Retail SETA through their SPAZA programme and accessed stock to the value of R 6 000.00.
