Building prepared entrepreneurs

By Emily Setona

QWAQWA – Attendees at a recent Botle Buhle business presentation were inspired to embrace entrepreneurship, recognizing it as a journey that, with hard work and preparation, can lead to achieving their dreams.

Addressing the audience gathered at the Cultural House on October 26, Mannete Gono who is originally from Tseseng and now lives in Gauteng compared the journey of an entrepreneur to that of a goldsmith or diamond cutter.

“A diamond doesn’t shine immediately; it must be cut and refined to reveal its full value. Similarly, gold goes through intense heat in a furnace to achieve its worth. Entrepreneurship is much the same; it requires perseverance and hard work, but here, you have support,” Gono explained, emphasizing the availability of guidance from experienced entrepreneurs.

Tsie Malebo from Tseki Village echoed this sentiment, stressing the importance of preparation in entrepreneurship. “With Botle Buhle, you can achieve your dreams if you’re ready to put in the effort,” he said, highlighting the opportunity for growth with dedication and commitment.

Nomvuyo Manca, a distributor from Gauteng, encouraged the participants to pursue ownership over employment, inviting them to take control of their lives.

With various products to sell, everyone has a chance to start their own business and thrive,” Manca said.
