Revitalisation of Skaaprus Settlement
Establishment of a community that is economically sustainable, socially inclusive and environmentally responsible
Businesses
People Employed
Turnover in 5 Years
minimum income per month
The establishment of 30+ businesses and that will create job opportunities for around 100+ people. The goal is to create businesses that will generate R1,000,000 (£53K) turnover, with the aim of getting R300,000 (£16K) real income running internally through the community. Income will differ across the businesses as each entrepreneur will perform differently.
The businesses will fall into 4 broad categories food, retail, trades and farming
Assets
Required assets will be divided into 3 categories structures, equipment and stock.
Structures
Several rudimentary structures will be erected to facilitate business development in the community. The intention is to get as much of this donated as possible and get the community to provide the labour to build it.
• Food court: 10 food stalls
• Flea Market: Grocery/retail type sales
• Workshops: 6 workshops to facilitate the development of trades.
• Containers: Toilets, kitchens, powder-coating plant
Equipment
Small tools and equipment be purchased by the Co-op, and these will make up the initial asset base of the co-op. Large equipment will be dealt with on a case by case basis and will depend on the funding options available.
Stock
There will be an initial outlay for stock to get all the businesses up and running – this expenditure will be recovered over time.
Training
Training is a key focus of the initiative. Training will cover business management, leadership, administration as well as trade-related skills.
Cost
Phase 1 - R400,000 - Initial farm buildings constructed and operational with training
Phase 2 - R1.6m - To get the rudimentary food court, flea market and trade blocks up
