Our Vision:
Creating Space For Bizness Growth

Alexbiz is a community-based organisation dedicated to supporting and empowering local businesses in Alexandra township. Our mission is to provide resources, opportunities, and a thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem for entrepreneurs in the area, ultimately contributing to the economic development of the community.

Our goal is to empower local entrepreneurs to create sustainable businesses that not only benefit themselves but also contribute to the growth and prosperity of the wider community. We strongly believe in the power of collaboration, as reflected in the African proverb: "If you want to go fast, go alone; if you want to go far, go together."

Overcoming Challenges

Running a business in Alexandra presents unique challenges such as limited space, infrastructure limitations, and misconceptions about pricing. In addition to education, innovation, and resilience, we also believe that access to business funding/loans opportunities and training and mentorship programs that promote growth are crucial for businesses in Alexandra to thrive. Our group is committed to supporting each other in accessing these resources and overcoming any challenges that may arise. Despite the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic and load-shedding, the businesses in our group have shown remarkable resilience.

Our Journey

Alexbiz was founded in May 2019 by Thabiso Sebata and Sihle Mooi. It began with a meeting of 20 business owners and entrepreneurs who came together to explore growth opportunities. Since then, we have continued to work together and have grown to support over 350 businesses in our community.
