Programme: Siyeza
Organisation: Thebe Foundation
Type of Support
Programme Description
Siyeza, a unique community based retail distribution concept aimed at driving prosperity through shared local community values and by redefining the value chain within the complex economic and social township environment. Siyeza is an entrepreneur development franchise tailored specifically for the township demography; to empower, build and develop community from the ground upwards. It started its first distribution hub in the Ekurhuleni townships of Kathorus, (Katlehong, Thokoza & Vosloorus) supporting several entrepreneurial co-operatives that utilise Siyeza’s buying power to deliver affordable groceries and fresh produce to customers via Tuk-Tuk vehicles. Customers range from households, spaza shops, township businesses, crèches, churches and other community groups that benefit from savings in transport and reduced downtime. Siyeza entrepreneurs generate their own income from sales and are also trusted brand ambassadors. Each hub is able to reach around 300000 customers and employs around four people directly for people hub manager, buyer, mechanic and administrative staff, while developing anywhere from 15 to 30 previously unemployed youth. These entrepreneurs are organised into primary co-operatives with two vehicles (plus backup if needed) dedicated to each co-operative
