2024

Lack of access to market is one of many challenges faced by South African small business owners. In leveraging the power of social media platforms, the Foundation hosts online pitching sessions for 67 days where South African SMME owners across various industries such as renewable, mining, construction, agriculture, technology, fashion etc. pitch their business model, share entrepreneurial journey, promote their products and services and received expert feedback. Each business connects and engages for 67 minutes. This is how we make every day a Mandela Day. Below are the beneficiary businesses:
