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 />
