TEA – Township Entrepreneurs Agency is proud to host the Grand Finale of the Kasi Pitching Challenge 2025, a powerhouse competition fueling township micro-enterprises across South Africa. This isn't your average pitch session, it's a movement that connects resilient township businesses with life-changing funding, mentorship, and market access.
Launched as part of our nationwide Kasi Business Workshops, the Challenge spotlights innovators in key township sectors like Spaza Shops, Kasi Tech, Green Economy, and more. Whether you're scaling a backroom manufacturing hustle or revolutionising eKasi logistics, this is your chance to showcase your story, secure investment, and build sustainable growth.
The Grand Finale takes place during the 7th Annual Township Economy Summit (20-21 November 2025, Hospital View Park, Tembisa), under the theme Inclusive Economic Future. Expect live pitches, expert feedback, corporate networking, and on-the-spot wins that bridge township economies with big opportunities.
