INTERVIEW<br />

great joy, as we would have made a meaningful<br />

contribution to entrepreneurship, employment<br />

and have made an impact on the economy.<br />

Having said that, I’m happy for all my clients and<br />

happy to have facilitated change in their lives.<br />

What is the ideal SMME company or cooperative<br />

you would hope to be able to<br />

help over the next year?<br />

I want to leverage the agricultural clusters that<br />

are currently doing well in the province. There is<br />

a cluster of maize growers doing around 2 000<br />

hectares of maize, and my plan in <strong>2016</strong> is to get<br />

them to 5000 hectares and assist them to become<br />

commercial.<br />

For the <strong>2016</strong> and 20<strong>17</strong> financial year I would like<br />

to help clients to develop a franchise group within<br />

the province and assist PDIs to gain ownership<br />

with the franchising space.<br />

There’s a lot of groundwork that needs to be<br />

done, you need to make sure that you’ve done<br />

your research and you are informed by the facts.<br />

Access to finance is much easier when you have<br />

thought it all through and based your numbers<br />

on facts. You need to have your ducks in a row if<br />

you want to take it to the next level.<br />
