We want people to be aware of what is expected from them during the tendering processes. We are giving them the information they need in terms of compliance with the laws of country, the Municipal Finance Management Act and other relevant legislation,\u201d said Mahlasela.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis platform also puts paid to myths and gossip that certain people are preferred over others in the allocation of tenders. Our aim is to have every service provider in Mnquma benefiting from government projects. In that way we can help them to unlock job opportunities and fight poverty,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Local businessman, Siphelo Teba, said business owners needed to be trained on relevant legislation, at least quarterly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere are people who have recently lost their jobs or been retrenched and want to venture into the tendering business. So quarterly meetings will help them get the necessary information within a reasonably short space of time,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis information assists us greatly, as locals because, for instance, we did not know that we can get funding from banks so easily. I am glad I was part of this event because now I know where to go,\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Local businesswoman, operating in the construction industry, Nomvuyo Ngcebetsha, said the workshop had shed more light regarding documentation and grading criteria as a contractor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe municipal chief financial officer (Mzusekho Matomane) carefully outlined all the processes in a clear manner that was very easy to understand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis municipality has a strategic advantage in terms of its location. It is on the N2 and is like a conduit for everyone travelling around the country, so there\u2019s a lot of potential for business to thrive,\u201d said Ngcebetsha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In response to calls for similar platforms to be hosted regularly, Mahlasela said individual business owners were welcome to approach the municipal offices for information at their own convenience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6
