Category: business,Entrepreneurs,Organisations — admin @ 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

Branson School of Entrepreneurship

Category: Entrepreneurs,Organisations — mark @ 8:23 am

“The South African economy is dependent on entrepreneurial activity for creating future economic growth and jobs. But the economic contribution to South Africa’s entrepreneurial sector is below the developing country norm. I believe that increasing entrepreneurship in this country is the golden highway to economic democracy.” .
