Cape Flats entrepreneur turns sketches into T-shirtsFifteen young people living with disabilities from Cape Flats communities – including: Crossroads, Delft, Eerste River, Khayelitsha and Mitchell’s Plain – have taken their first steps towards running their own businesses thanks to Engen’s New Venture Creation Learnership. Launched in September 2023, the programme equips participants with practical skills in business planning, finance, marketing and customer service. For Eerste River resident Kurt Daniel Williams, the support has already paid off. A talented artist, Kurt has launched Sketch on T-Shirt, a small business where he prints his pencil portrait sketches onto clothing. “Entrepreneurship is about creating opportunities and turning ideas into reality,” says Dee Mdeka, Engen’s Skills Development Facilitator.
