ENTERPRISE AND SUPPLIER DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME
Sephaku Cement has identified job creation and supporting the development of small, medium and micro enterprises (SMMEs) as
important factors in the sustainability of the local economy and community development strategy.
To this end Sephaku Cement has
developed the Enterprise and Supplier Development programme aimed at mentoring emerging enterprises located in areas it
operates in.
Sephaku Cement provides business opportunities and training to SMMEs through the provision of financial and logistical
management support.
The programme encompasses entrepreneurship development initiatives that range from the registration of
the enterprises to providing basic business management skills through training, mentoring and coaching. Through this programme,
community members effectively create jobs through establishing SMMEs, thereby contributing to the empowerment and alleviation
of poverty.
Table below highlights the local economic development initiatives that have been introduced in the past year.
