In celebration of Women’s Day, Grand West CSI hosted an Exhibition at Grand West Casino in Goodwood on Friday 7 August.
A number of TSiBA Entrepreneurs showcased their skills and knowledge with other emerging women in the Small and Medium Enterprise industry. They also benefited from over 3000 visitors to the exhibition and took advantage of the opportunity to advertise and sell their products and services. The exhibition also gave them the opportunity to network with other emerging business people as well as with the Grand West CSI team.
The day was extremely festive with fun events, live entertainment, guest speakers (including TSiBA Education) and spot prizes. Grand West CSI judges visited each stand to determine the winners of three cash prizes: R15 000; R10 000 and R5 000.
And the second prize of R10 000 was awarded to our very own Evelyn Mbenyane, owner of Anelisa Creations. Evelyn’s sewing company has been housed in the garage at the TSiBA Entrepreneurship Centre since March 2007. It is from this site that she manufactures her products and runs her business under the guidance and support of the Entrepreneurship Centre. This year Evelyn completed the Micro-MBA training programme at TSiBA that assisted her in taking her business to another level. She plans to invest the prize money in her business.
