Sam Tsima appointed to Advisory Panel, Shanduka Black Umbrellas (SBU)


Sam Tsima, the President & Chief Executive of COMETSA Group, has been appointed to the Advisory Panel of Shanduka Black Umbrellas (SBU), Gauteng Region, in the Portfolio of Stakeholder Relations; www.shandukablackumbrellas.org .
Shanduka Black Umbrellas (SBU) is a non-profit enterprise development incubator service provider whose fundamental purpose is to collaborate with partners in the private sector, government and civil society to address the low levels of entrepreneurship and high failure rate of 100% black owned emerging businesses in South Africa.

This is achieved by:
Promoting entrepreneurship as a desirable career choice. Building the profile and image of existing entrepreneurs and SBU businesses as role models through our media, networking and public relations activities;

Nurturing qualifying 100% black owned businesses in the critical first three years of their existence by providing incubators with office infrastructure, professional services and a structured mentorship programme at a highly subsidised rate with the aim of the businesses becoming sustainable during this period;

Creating employment opportunities by recruiting and supporting those businesses which have the potential to generate at least four jobs on becoming sustainable;

Enabling procurement opportunities for emerging 100% black owned businesses through the blackpages initiative – www.shandukablackpages.co.za ;

Assisting SBU businesses that are finance ready to access funding through third party service providers;

Aims of the Advisory Panel:

Primarily, the incubator Advisory Panel provides advice and counsel to incubator management and staff. Advisory Panel members can help to determine the types of programs the incubator should offer, how best to provide services to clients, and how effective the incubator’s programming and services are. Beyond advising, incubator Advisory Panel members are advocates and ambassadors for the program. In addition to providing program guidance and evaluation, Advisory Panel members often act as a public face of the incubator, highlighting its services and impacts to potential clients, stakeholders and the community at large.
