A business opportunity for residents of Mzilikazi and Makokoba

The Bulawayo City Council (BCC) recently flighted an advertisement in the local press calling for tenders for the lease of its women’s clubs dotted around the high density suburbs of the city. Among those advertised were the women’s clubs in Mzilikazi and Makokoba.
This is an opportunity for young people and women in the two suburbs to seize this opportunity and venture into business. As residents of Mzilikazi and Makokoba we have often complained of economic marginalization, here is an opportunity for us to venture into business.

By the way there are women who have been doing various self help projects such as tie and dye, crocheting and knitting at the Mzilikazi women’s club under the auspices of the city council. I believe that this is an opportunity for these women to organise themselves and send in their tender and proposal to BCC.

There are high chances that poor and marginalized groups in the city may win these tenders as the advertisement posted in the press by the city council stated that in their application interested applicants must state their proposal of rent and the nature of their project. In addition the city council has the right to accept any tender proposal regardless of proposed rents. Essentially this means that even those proposing to pay less amount of rent may win the tender proposal based on their project proposal.

I have submitted my own proposal and I trust that I will win one of the many lease tenders.
