SOULMATE IS ALL ABOUT GOOD OL’ SOULFOOD

2016 saw our Entrepreneur Societies deliver a number of brilliant business ideas.  Those that made it through to the final round have been assigned mentors who will be able to advise on business direction and focus.  We will be featuring one of the companies monthly over the upcoming few issues so that you may celebrate their success with us.

This month we are showcasing a group of dynamic young ladies from Langa High School who conceputalised a company called SOULMATE.  SOULMATE is a business which rents catering equipment for weddings, birthday parties, traditional events, business functions, anniversaries, funerals, and more.

SOULMATE is receiving support from an organisation called Colourworks in the form of the development of their corporate ID.  We wish Phumla, Reabetswe, Thandokazi, and Noluncumo from SOULMATE the very best with their business venture, and extend our heartfelt thanks to Colourworks for the creative work they have done on developing their business identity.

The ladies require financial support for a few essential items for their business;
if you wish to support them, please do get in touch with us at 021 795 0566.

SOSA TAKES SAGE SUMMIT BY STORM

We reported last month that our boys from SOSA Investments would be exhibiting their
PROJECT LIGHT at the SAGE Summit Tour in Johannesburg from 7 – 9 March.  Their invention attracted a great deal of interest and received significant exposure.  Our heartfelt thanks to SAGE for making this possible!

Thousands of people lose their lives annually due to shack fires, not to mention the trauma that comes with losing everything to devastating fires if you do survive.  If you do wish to get in touch with SOSA Investments about supporting PROJECT LIGHT, kindly do so at info@sosa-invest.com
