Shanduka Black Umbrellas Enterprise Development Awards
One can only imagine the amount of hard work the winners of the regional enterprise development awards put in to be part of the empowered entrepreneurs celebrated on the 20th of April 2015 at the CSIR Convention Centre.
The Chairman of the Shanduka Foundation once said that empowering black businesses, particularly your small-medium enterprises, is absolutely essential if we are going to transform and grow the economy of our country.
Shanduka, meaning change, provides immeasurable support to black owned SMME’s.
Last night’s category winners articulates volumes about the service Shanduka Black Umbrellas provide.
John Ntai from VKS Telecoms won the category for the Most Jobs Created award; the Best Performing Company award was taken by Frank Vilakazi from Vilas Security Risk and Management and Mangaliso Zondo from Indalo Architecture received the best SBU Ambassador award.
The winners of the regional enterprise development awards will have more challengers in June 2015 where they will be competing for the National awards taking place in Johannesburg.
