Centre for Entrepreneurship and SMME Development Hub: “START ONE TO CREATE ONE”

Motto: To encourage the young entrepreneurs to form part of the solution to a myriad of problems of unemployment and curb poverty, thereby creating a thread of multiple doors opened for and by themselves interweaving solutions best as they can be understood by themselves thus developing products that are fresher and relevant to the current market.

Hence the tag line “Start one To Create one” is befitting as it explicitly communicates precisely what is intended to be achieved.

It clearly states that young people can be the solution to their own fate which is currently bleak and worsening.

It therefore means they become involved in the development of the solutions from inception, transformation and realisation phase.

The creator of the business ensures less dependency on the state for employment and instead through their entrepreneurial efforts become state partners of employability and quality providers of products and services competing at the highest world standard.

These efforts are very key and paramount to the restoration of dignity of the young people and as they start an economic process that ultimately contributes to the economy of the country allowing them to lay clamancy of ownership to the improved living standards of the country citizenry.
