You may remember Fraser Siteti, founder and director of Siteti Consulting Services CC (refer our Blog Post dated August 2009). Well, what was refered to then as 'book selling' has grown into something much bigger than what Fraser expected!
His registration as a verified/approved supplier to the Western Cape Government for various projects has proven to be very successful. When the first tender was awarded in July 2009, Fraser did not know where to turn as banks had denied him credit, while another government agency's loan offer did not make business sense. "TSiBA came to my rescue!" says Fraser, "Peter and Yolande facilitated the application for a bridging loan with the TSiBA Board of Directors. TSiBA gave me the loan ... I could not believe how lucky I was!"
Well, this tender was followed by another, and another, and another ...
Fraser is so thankful for the various opportunities he has been able to access through TSiBA that he "took the decision to get more involved with TSiBA's drive of 'Paying-It-Forward'". Earlier this year Fraser made himself available as a volunteer Facilitator where he co-facilitates Entrepreneurship for TSiBA Foundation Year students. Most recently he has also agreed to mentor a BBA first year student, Mawethu Mbanga.
Fraser wishes to encourage all readers to "pay-it-forward. There are many people who will cross your path and help you across life's hurdles. Never forget to show your gratitude because as you cross one hurdle, you approach the next one!"
