Die Weskusbesigheids\u00adontwikke\u00adling\u00adsentrum in Saldanha nooi plaaslike ondernemings om hul kleinsakelui te ondersteun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit is vir ons belangrik dat plaaslike besighede bydra tot die sentrum en by ons ontwikkelende kleinsakelui aankope doen,\u201d s\u00ea Welmarie Coetzee, voorsitter van die sentrum se raad van direkteure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ten einde te wys waarmee van hul kleinsakelui besig is, het die sentrum Vrydag 17 November \u2019n opedag gehou waar produkte uitgestal is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie dag is gehou om ons terug op die map <\/span>te sit en \u2019n uitlaat te bied vir die kleinsakelui,\u201d verduidelik Deirdr\u00e9 Pretorius, waar\u00adnemende sentrum\u00adbestuurder. Sy het oorgeneem as bestuurder sedert die bedanking van die vorige bestuurder, Shandr\u00e9 Summers, in Junie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOns wil nie h\u00ea ons sentrum moet toemaak nie,\u201d beaam Paulina Mali, een van die eerste vroue wat deur die sentrum gehelp is om haar eie kosonderneming op die been te bring. Sy, saam met Linda Moss, vandag die voorsitter van die sentrum se kleinsakelui\u00adforum, was van die sentrum se eerste kleinsakelui wat kontrakte by die Saldanha-staalaanleg bekom het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Moss het in \u2019n toespraak Vrydag vertel hoe die sentrum in die laat 1990\u2019s gebore is uit die ontstaan van Saldanha Staal (vandag ArcelorMittal Saldanha Works). Sy s\u00ea oudpresident Nelson Mandela het geweier om die staalaanleg goed te keur mits daar \u2019n sentrum tot stand kom waar plaaslike entrepreneurs opgelei en bemagtig kon word. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOns het niks van besigheid geweet nie, maar ons kon Saldanha Staal wys ons kon kompeteer met die w\u00eareld. Hierdie sentrum het \u2019n suksesstorie om te vertel,\u201d het Moss ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Moss het ges\u00ea verhoudings met die staalaanleg en ander plaaslike ondernemings moet ontsluit word sodat die sentrum steeds sy hoofdoel kan nakom om plaaslike kleinsakelui te ontwikkel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Volgens Coetzee was daar 4 648 voete deur die sentrum verlede jaar. Sy het bygevoeg die sentrum is amptelik nie meer \u2019n Transnet-sake\u00adontwikkelingsentrum nie omdat die drie jaar lange kontrak in Januarie verval het en nog nie weer hernu is nie. Die sentrum, \u2019n geregistreerde organisasie sonder winsbejag, is volgens haar en Pretorius op hul beurt afhanklik van finansi\u00eble ondersteuning van die wyer plaaslike sake\u00adgemeenskap om voort te bestaan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Om meer uit te vind hoe om betrokke te raak of oor die dienste wat die sentrum bied, skakel 022 714 1731 of besoek sy webwerf www.wcbusinessdevelopment.\u00adco.za.
