67 DAY PITCHATHON GRAND FINALE HAPPENS ON MANDELA DAY
A MANDELA DAY YOUTH BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOP

JOHANNESBURG – 67CEOS Foundation in partnership with fellow entrepreneurship ecosystem enablers alike, The X-Factored Youth, iMentorU Foundation, The American Corner Pretoria, Speakingdom, and Good Deeds Day hosts its 8th annual MANDELA DAY ENTREPRENEURSHIP DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOP. This programme is the grand finale of its on-going #67PitchAthon that started online on the 13th of May 2024.

Lack of access to market is one of many challenges faced by South African small business owners. In leveraging the power of social platforms, the Foundation has been hosting online pitching sessions where South African SMME owners across various industries such as renewable, mining, construction, agriculture, technology, fashion etc. have been pitching their business model, sharing entrepreneurial journey and promoting their products and services.
