VERY BIG OPPORTUNITY FOR LOCAL WASTE ENTREPRENEURS! 📢💰🇿🇦

Are you running a small business, a local buy-back centre, or a recycling project in your community? Then today is your day to step up! 🟢

Today, the DFFE is officially going live with the brand-new WEERSA smart platform.

We know that the real heroes of our waste economy aren't sitting in massive boardrooms—they are working hard on the ground in our townships and local neighbourhoods, turning waste into jobs and feeding families.

This new platform was built specifically to link your small business directly to the national grid.

Here is how WEERSA changes the game for your business:

✅ Unlocks Funding: It acts as a direct link to inform you about government funding, grants, and empowerment opportunities.

✅ Puts You on the Map: It registers your business in an official repository so major industry players, stakeholders, and clients can easily find and trade with you.

✅ Knowledge Hub: Gives you direct access to sector trends, training material, and tools to help your business grow.

No matter how small your operation is right now, your work matters to the green economy!

Register your business for free today and get connected: 🔗👇🏽
