For Tshegofentse Training Academy Engineering & Facilities owners, Thuto and Neo Mosholi, there is never a wasted opportunity.   The IDC’s Supplier Development Programme has fueled the growth of their waste management facility by providing them with a flatbed truck and skip bins. This has unlocked their market competitiveness capability and created employment in their community.   Tshegofentse was recently awarded with accreditation as a water testing laboratory and is expanding its national footprint. This tells the story of a journey that is not only inspiring but also bears testament to the IDC’s mandate to drive job-rich industrialisation.
