Bizniz in a Box. Programme Description The key principle of the Bizniz in a Box Youth Empowerment Project is social entrepreneurship. Young people in peri-urban and rural communities who own retail micro businesses (formal or informal) e.g. spaza shops, takeaway car washes and internet cafes or those who aspire to become shop owners are invited to apply to the programme. The programme provides basic business skills to the youth participating in the programme by providing theoretical training and on-the-job practical immersion followed by a mentorship support process, during their first six months in business. The Bizniz in Box Youth Empowerment Programme is a public-private partnership. Its goal is to equip young people with entrepreneurial skills and provide them with actual business opportunities in the form of ready-to-operate turnkey spaza shop or internet café for new entrepreneurs, or formalising of existing businesses (spaza shop, take away café, internet café, car wash) The implementing partners for Bizniz in a Box Youth Development Programme include Enterpriseroom and Zevoli Consulting. Furthermore, Coca Cola Beverages South Africa (CCBSA) and the SEFA are both funding the programme. SEFA, which provides the core funding, provides loan funding of the investment (structure, equipment and stock) to the value of R60 000 - R80 000 per shop. The programme has already been rolled out in a few municipalities who have provided positive support, including The Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Bay Municipality (Port Xxxxxxxxx), Royal Bafokeng Nation and Royal Bafokeng Economic Development (Rustenburg), Mthatha Municipality (Mthatha) who are responsible for granting zoning permissions, providing services to the sites, creating awareness of the Bizniz in a Box YEP within the communities and through community police forums, ensure safety of the youth and structures.
