Dear Select Committee on Trade and Industry, Economic Development, Small Business Development, Tourism, Employment and Labour,

My name is Thembelihle Mthethwa, owner of a home based Bakery in Katlehong.

I have managed to keep my Business running since 2011, have been trying to get access to funding to start a baking school so I can assist the youth and weman in attaining baking skills but failed.
I have recieved numerous requests from people to train them for baking skills, but my hands I tiered hence I don't have small space to operate and it needs to be Health certified to operate on..I have employed two school leavers who have been assisting me for the past three years, they start working on Friday evenings throughout the night till Saturday noon....they assist in baking, sales marketing and deliveries.they are very determined and hard working...
The money I pay them has assisted them to attain driving lisences, further their studies and take care of their famlilies daily needs...
you assistance would realy be appreciated..

Please do contact me for any assistance, Im contactable on ....0727613095

Many thanks And kind regards
