Mthokozisi Mabaso (45) is making his mark in the white-dominated tourism and adventure industry.

Mabaso is a beneficiary of government’s Operation Vula Fund, which aims to create jobs and grow the economy. The entrepreneur now hopes to see his business generate half a million rand in revenue.

Reflecting on his journey, Mabaso says he approached his local chief to use 27 hectares of densely forested land. He says one of the challenges he faced was marketing, especially given that he was located in an out-of-the-way rural area. He sought assistance from the Small Enterprise Development Agency , a subsidiary of the Department of Small Business Development, and was given the skills he needed to put his business on the map.
