The trainings on Business and Financial Literacy have made an immediate impact to over a dozen SMEs that were equipped last month with skills on adherence to local authority regulations and importance of licensing through the Zimbabwe Resilience Building Fund (ZRBF) in the Sizimele Consortium.
“Our ward has collected fingerprints and passport-sized photos as part of the licensing requirements, we are now waiting for Bulawayo City Council to communicate when they are coming as they are moving from ward to ward”, Siphathisiwe Ndlovu told the Special Edition Vendors Voice.
Another graduate, Preety Mpofu said “I have resorted to selling wares of the same kind as I learnt that I cannot sell everything.” “I now sell sweets and chocolates after doing my research and noting that there are a few people in that kind of trade, now my business is booming as a lot of children love sweets and chocolates”, continued Mpofu
Concilia Ndadzungira said she had stopped accepting mobile money and two-bond notes from customers, however, in the training she was encouraged to accept all forms of payment and now her business is growing.
“I am ordering using mobile money and my business is moving fast, I never run out of money to order”, added Ndadzungira
Jotina Lusinga weighed in and said “Ever since I started having a record book, my business has been growing and sales are increasing, I am now teaching other vendors and informal traders on the importance of having a record book”.
“I have also been looking at my stall on how I could increase my current sales. I brought in new related products and sales increased a bit, I am constantly looking at what else to add that’s related and supportive to my current stock”, “We are grateful for the eye-opening training that was brought to us by Sizimele Consortium”, summed Witness Mzizi .
