Tirama Manufacturers secures investment from Old Mutual Properties

In a major breakthrough for the three entrepreneurs of Tirama Manufacturers, Sonwabo Rasimen, the MD of the company, announced that it has secured a further investment of R50,000 from Old Mutual Properties in their quest to start up a concrete products manufacturing company in Khayelitsha.



The money is to be used to start a pilot production facility to obtain SABS (South African Bureau of Standards) approval for core products. This is a key milestone to earn credibility with potential customers. Old Mutual Properties has previously provided Tirama with financial support to develop their business plan together with TSiBA's Entrepreneurship Centre.
