The Sebenza Fund is modelled on the successes of Zimele’s other funds and provides a community-based hub system which offers financial and non-financial support to SMEs.
The Sebenza Fund provides both equity and/or loan finance at preferential interests rates to entrepreneurs and SMEs that are economically viable and can create new long-term sustainable jobs.
