Seda Flagship Programs

In a number of cases your SMME’s are not able to service large companies, state owned enterprises or compete on large tenders. This is due to a number of reasons – among others lack of capacity, non accreditation and poor standards to meet the requirements. Our Supplier Development Program (SDP) is an attempt to improve on this. This is done by contracting a host (large company or state owned entity (SOE) that will allow Seda to develop and enable them to plug into their supply chain.

CONCLUDING REMARKS

CONCLUDING REMARKS

CONCLUDING REMARKS

Ulwazi lufukame ubudenge, Ubudenge yitrone yobulumko.

Inyembezi ngumthombo wenkathalo, Inkathalo ihlanjwa zinyembezi. Intiyo iphuphuma luthando,

Uthando liyeza lwentiyo.

CONCLUDING REMARKS

Ukhula lutshaba lwesivuno, Isivuno sondliwa lukhula.

Ukholo lulwandle lweenkolo, Iinkolo sisifingo seentolo. Impilo yambethe ukufa, Ukufa yileli yobomi.

Ukuba oku uyakwamkela, Ilizwe ngoko lokwamkela.

CONCLUDING REMARKS

Isithuli yingcaphephe yokuthetha Isiziba sibagqiba sithule.

Indoda enamandla ayinasiqu, Igqaza lashiyeka phezulu.

Isithonga asingaphezu kwembumbulu, Ukufa kungxola kudlulile.

CONCLUDING REMARKS

Uncumo bubuso bentliziyo, Ingxolo yingxelo yokugxwala.

Isigxala siqhwabela ulwamvila, Inyebethu kukufinya komkhuhlane.

Ukulibazisa lundwendwe lweentlungu, Intlupheko zithunyelwa lulonwabo.

Isaqhwithi sandulelwa kukuzola, Zihlobo masizigqale izinto.

CONCLUDING REMARKS

Together, Advancing SMME Development!
