The Township Entrepreneur Alliance (TEA) continues to embark on the journey to provide township businesses nationwide with access to information, soft skills, mentorship and networking through the Kasi Business Workshop. These business workshops will be hosted in all the nine provinces.
“We have seen the rise in youth unemployment, and challenges that small business owners have endured over the past two years and we believe that the Kasi Business Workshop will provide the necessary support to help revive the economy through the true life line of the economic development which is small business. The Lockdown Township Economic Survey states “Over 60% of small businesses reported that they lost their sales pipeline” so the need to build an inclusive economy is both urgent and now.” Says Bulelani Balabala, Founder of TEA
#JoinUsForTEA this October at the Kasi Business Workshop in Khayelitsha, for the Capetown Chapter. The session seeks to bring together local entrepreneurs and create a platform for them to learn, showcase their businesses and network.

The business workshops aims to equip township start-ups and small business owners with soft and practical skills.
