A Nelson Mandela Bay initiative called Woke is hosting a free entrepreneurship seminar on Wednesday November 28 at The Roof Garden Bar from 4 to 10.30pm.
It is aimed at youth in this metro who consider themselves entrepreneurs or aspiring entrepreneurs and will feature well-known speakers and businessmen within the city such as Mkhuseli Jack and Asa Mazomba.
“The event seeks to create open discussions for the youth to understand what it means to start a business and why it is important for them to do so,” Woke founder Vuyo Tutu said.
As music and arts are an increasingly favoured profession among the youth, he said, the event would also feature live performances from up- and-coming singers, dancers, musicians and poets who are trying to make a name for themselves in their respective fields.
“We as Woke resolve to create an environment that encourages development and collaboration through our workshops that promote entrepreneurs and artists from Port Elizabeth.
“There is a need to change the way we think about development and entrepreneurship in order to change the way we live,” Tutu said.
