The women of our city are under attack.
In the face of the recent GBVF surge in Ekurhuleni, many survivors who have already completed psycho-social counselling and skills training still lack the final bridge to real economic independence.
Mbokodo Network’s Gift of Giving steps in with practical, dignity-centred support.
We work with vetted survivors referred through established channels and verified Ekurhuleni shelters. We don’t just train — we fully set up a legal, compliant business and provide a small start-up stock so she can open her doors and start trading with confidence.
Three ways you can help a survivor launch:
🌱 Seed Partner – R450/month or R1 500 once-off
Legal foundation, company registration, tax compliance, bank account & branding.
🌿 Growth Partner – R600/month or R2 400 once-off
Everything in Seed + professional logo, custom flyer & WhatsApp Business.
🚀 Launch Partner – R1 250/month or R5 000 once-off
Complete package + small sector start-up stock (kota, bakery, hair, sewing) — ready to open for business.
Every sponsorship turns skills into independence.
Every business launched is one more woman building her own future with dignity.
Sponsor a survivor today.
Section 18A tax certificates available.

Happy Heritage Month to the powerful women of Mbokodo Network! 🇿🇦✨
Our roots are our greatest superpower. Heritage Day isn’t only about traditional attire — it’s an invitation to bring our culture, history, and authentic stories into everything we build. 🌍💡
This month we’re challenging every woman in our network to treat Culture as Innovation:
🎨 How can your unique heritage inspire a new product or line?
📦 How can traditional patterns and aesthetics elevate your brand packaging?
💡 How can age-old wisdom solve modern business problems?
When we build businesses rooted in who we are, we create value no one else can replicate.
👇 Drop a comment: How are you bringing your heritage into your business, products, or services this year? Let’s inspire each other!
“Wathint’ abafazi, wathint’ imbokodo!” 💪❤️

Stop paying CIPC fees before your business is truly ready!Many early-stage entrepreneurs believe starting a business begins with registering a company. But a CIPC registration certificate doesn’t make a business—customers, operational structures, and consistent cash flow do.Premature registratio...

Today we light a purple candle — and we refuse to stay silent.
“My body is not rubbish.
You cannot just dispose of my body as though it’s rubbish.
Harming a woman forcefully… doing with her as you please is not okay.
It’s enough.”
Gender-based violence and femicide are not “private matters.” They are a societal crisis that demands accountability, action, and zero tolerance — in our homes, workplaces, communities, and systems.
Every time we look away, we allow it to continue.
Every time we speak up, we chip away at the silence that protects perpetrators.
Let’s keep the conversation going. Let’s demand better.
It’s enough.

Mandela Day Sanitary Drive beneficiaries have received their sanitary towels 😊🙏🏾.

A heartfelt thank you to PEP Stores for creating such a meaningful initiative. 🎒
By allowing the community to purchase sanitary pads and drop them into store collection boxes — with PEP handling the distribution — you’re making a real difference. We’re so thankful that Leondale High was considered and included in this drive.

The pads have been delivered and stocked, giving our learners consistent access and the chance to focus on their education.

Thank you for standing with our girls. 🌸

🔥 , you showed up and showed out!

Mbokodo Network’s Compliance Roadshow first leg was pure energy. Business owners came through ready to get their houses in order — docs sorted, connections made, and the journey to formalisation properly kicked off.

Big ups to everyone who attended and to our partbers for coming through and opening the door for vendor onboarding. This is what building real economic power looks like.

Round 2 equally epic … , I can't wait to share! 💪

Round 3 ... Are you ready?

The R300 million compliance trap is real.
Every year, thousands of informal traders, SMMEs, cooperatives, and NGOs/NPOs in our communities lose out on opportunities, funding, and growth — not because they lack talent or drive, but because they remain stuck outside the formal economy.

At Mbokodo Network, we refuse to accept this as the status quo.

That’s why we are putting our readiness to work.

Through our Ready to Register Roadshow, we are taking practical action. We begin with a simple but powerful tool — the Readiness Scorecard. This assessment helps every business owner clearly see where they stand and what steps are needed to become fully compliant.

From there, our experts walk side-by-side with you — free of charge — to close the gaps.

Services are free.
You remain responsible only for your own mandatory fees (CIPC, SARS outstanding returns, etc.).

Roadshow Dates & Venues:
• 20 August 2026 – Katlehong
Katlehong Resource Center, 824 Ramokonopi West, Katlehong
• 27 August 2026 – Daveyton
Victor Ndlazilwane Community Hall, 2006 Eiselen Street, Daveyton
• 03 September 2026 – Tembisa

Proudly partnered with the City of Ekurhuleni, IBAMBA Accounting Tax Advisory, DVINE NEXUS, and Nedbank.

This is more than a roadshow.

It is the beginning of closing the R300 million compliance trap — one business at a time.

We are ready.
