On
8 November the Ekurhuleni Peermont Chambers of Commerce Trust (EPCoCT),
as part of an Emperors Palace Enterprise Development initiative
officially launched the Khuphukani Bakery and Confectionary and
donated over R800 000 to the five ladies who run the business. Founded
in 2006 by five local women the bakery was previously housed in
a small prefabricated building in the East Rand township. Thanks
to this grant of over R800 000, Khuphukani now has a much larger
new building from which to operate enabling the owners to reach
optimum growth in their business endeavour.
