Tshimologong Precinct welcomed 14 Enterprise Support Organisations from Lesotho for the ESOs second cohort Capacity Building Programme.
The selected ESOs will be provided with a tailor-made capacity building programme. The objective of this ESO Capacity building programme is to ensure that these ESOs are adequately trained and resourced to deliver world-class incubation programmes to Lesotho’s most promising startups and SMEs under the LEHSFF banner.
Edwell Gumbo, director of the Wits Entrepreneurship Clinic and head of enterprise development at Tshimologong Precinct, and the project lead, says: “South Africa and Lesotho have a long-standing bilateral relationship and friendship. There is a common language and appreciation for each other’s cultures. Our people are connected to each other through language, identity and economy.
