The Chema Chema program, an initiative designed to support small-scale entrepreneurs and aspiring business owners, received a boost during recent walkabouts led by Mr. Kabelo A. Ebineng, the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Entrepreneurship. These engagements took place in Machaneng, Sefhare, Ramokgonami, and Pilikwe, with the primary goal of addressing challenges and enhancing access to the program.
Mr. Ebineng emphasized that the Chema Chema program is specifically tailored for individuals looking to uplift and expand their businesses, as well as those eager to start new ventures. During the discussions with residents of Machaneng, he assured participants that the Ministry will engage with stakeholders to resolve issues related to the quotation process, which has been a point of concern for some applicants.
The walkabouts provided a platform for open dialogue, allowing the Ministry to gain insights into the obstacles faced by both current and potential beneficiaries of the program. By addressing these challenges directly and providing targeted support, the Ministry aims to facilitate smoother access to Chema Chema and ensure that more entrepreneurs can benefit from the resources and opportunities it offers.
This proactive approach not only seeks to resolve existing issues but also reinforces the commitment of the Ministry of Entrepreneurship to fostering a supportive environment for small-scale businesses. Through continued engagement and responsive measures, the Chema Chema program strives to empower entrepreneurs and contribute to the growth of local economies.
