TRADE-MARK is a non-profit organisation that connects the best tradespeople in the townships with those who require their services.

Category: business,Entrepreneurs,Organisationsadmin @ 9:20 am

We have a rigorous selection process and a performance monitoring system that ensures both accountability and the highest quality service.

Our Vision is a South Africa in which:

  • people’s quality of life is determined more by hard work, diligence and integrity than the economic situation they are born into
  • these qualities are recognised and rewarded and not masked by people’s preconceptions
  • members of our society lead by example and play an active role in bettering this country
  • the gap between the rich and poor is continually being narrowed

Vamos cycling tours in Langa

Category: business,Entrepreneurs,tourismmark @ 1:35 pm
How many times have you driven out of town on the N2, thoughts drifting towards your weekend away, cruising past all the “leaving Cape Town” landmarks: the ex-Athlone cooling towers, the townships, the failed housing projects, more townships, the airport.

Township malls hurt small shop-owners

Category: business,Entrepreneurs,Newsmark @ 10:43 am

Shopping malls have created competition for small township business, the Bureau of Market Research (BMR) of the University of South Africa (Unisa) has found.

Large shopping malls had been developed, or were under construction or in the planning phase in almost all township areas with sizeable population numbers, the BMR said in a statement on Sunday.

“This development has resulted in heightened competition for small township businesses with a potential risk of considerable consumer expenditure displacement away from them to national chains and franchise businesses in the new shopping complexes,” the BMR said.
