Siqalo Youth Programme

Siqalo Youth Programme continues to support youth owned businesses across the Eastern Cape Province. Today, a R1.2 million loading truck was handed over to Nandipha Oliphant of Lupha Enterprises from Emalahlenilm.ec at the Indoor Sport Centre, Komani. Nandipha says the truck is equipped with hydraulics for multi functionality allowing their business to expand and take jobs that require a side tipper, a flat-deck, and conveying containers. Another beneficiary, Athenkosi Zinganto from Cofimvaba, Intsika Yethu Municipality, received R800k electrical equipment and a brand new bakkie for his business, Zinganto Electrical and Construction. The company has already employed 10 local labourers. Zinganto said his company will definitely add more staff now that they have a bakkie to take on business beyond Cofimvaba.
Both local mayors (Hon. Kanyiswa Mntungwa KaGolela Mdleleni and Hon Nontombizanele Koni) were present to support their beneficiaries, adding that these youth-owned businesses will not only inspire more young people to consider venturing into business but will contribute to the local employment rate and the local economic development.
