SPTC funds budding businesses

Last week the council handed over materials for projects selected under the programme to a number of beneficiaries. Already the council, through the Department of Social Services, has funded 17 business ideas from the community of Selebi Phikwe under APP at well over P100,000.

APP beneficiary, Botho Mamadi who is in the business of landscaping and flower arrangement, has the council to thank for every piece of equipment the business needs. Mamadi told The Monitor that she has a strategy to survive the competition posed by major landscaping companies in the town. She explained that she is currently brushing up her skills through a short course with the Department of Parks.
