"Our role is just to help them kick-start their project and they will be monitored,” said Tandani.
"This is a cash business. Its sustainability depends on them ensuring that they do not lose money, and they must also spend wisely,” the mayor added.
Owner and manager Nyanya told TotT that the equipment and material would assist them in getting more revenue and also would help in improving their driveway for their customers.
"We will also be able to provide a good service for our customers,” said Nyanya.
Tandani mentioned how important it is to provide opportunities for the ex-convicts and how they have changed their way of living.
"With the little we have, we need to make a small difference in our community,” Tandani said.
