What People Say
Hear from the graduates, entrepreneurs, and partners whose growth Afrika BDC has helped fund.
The Retail Supervisor programme gave me skills I could use from day one. Within months of qualifying I was promoted, and I now train new staff at my store using what I learned.
Nomvula Mthembu
Programme Graduate
Afrika BDC didn't just fund our training, they walked with us through compliance too. Our business is now fully B-BBEE compliant and we've since taken on two new employees.
