Jestine Fatldman - Waste Management Business

A cooperative of five members registered the business and each contributed R2 000 to its establishment. The group was awarded a three month tender by the municipality, for R1.5 million, to manage waste in the Shinville area and they have applied for a further tender to cover other surrounding areas.

Currently, they have a container as their office and 21 workers. They hire trucks to transport the waste but are working on getting their own vehicles and licenced drivers. Their future plan is to expand the business to include office cleaning, construction and catering.
