Supporting local businesses and creating opportunities for economic growth remain important priorities in building sustainable and thriving communities.
Capricorn District Municipality (CDM), represented by the MMC for Development Planning and Environmental Management Services (DPEMS), Cllr Makgato Machaba, joined the Minister of Small Business Development, Ms Stella Ndabeni, and various government and development stakeholders for the relaunch of the Township and Rural Entre preneurship Programme (TREP).
The event took place at Seshego Stadium in Polokwane on 26 October 2026, bringing together representatives from local, provincial and national government, traditional leaders (Magoshi) and other key stakeholders.
TREP is aimed at supporting and strengthening small businesses operating in townships and rural communities through targeted interventions that promote entrepreneurship, business development and economic participation. The programme recognises the important role played by small, medium and micro enterprises (SMMEs) in creating employment, generating income and stimulating local economic growth.
For Capricorn District Municipality, participation in initiatives such as TREP reinforces its commitment to local economic development, enterprise support and creating an enabling environment for emerging entrepreneurs to grow and contribute meaningfully to the district’s economy.
Through collaboration between government, traditional leadership and development partners, initiatives of this nature seek to broaden economic opportunities and ensure that township and rural businesses are not left behind.
