The Kasi Business Workshop, founded in 2015 by Bulelani Balabala, celebrates a decade of transforming South Africa’s township economy. Over 100,000 entrepreneurs have been supported, contributing to more than 400,000 jobs, with a global footprint in 34 countries. Through initiatives like the Kasi Pitching Challenge, Networking Pods, Mbawula Chats, Masterclasses, and the Kasi Business Exhibition, the movement fosters collaboration, skills development, funding access, and market opportunities for township businesses. Now in its 10th year, the Workshop continues to serve as a catalyst for inclusive economic growth.
