Lindelwa Hlubikazi Mabila, visionary founder of Hlubi M, has grown her small business into a beacon of hope and resilience. She was empowered by the support of The Hope Factory’s Small Business Programme, in partnership with Cennergi Services through the Amakhala Emoyeni Community Fund Trust and CHIETA. Centered on manufacturing in the chemical industry, the programme empowered micro and start-up businesses through comprehensive training, mentorship, and strategic guidance. Hlubi M, focuses on the manufacturing of essential household cleaning products. When she started the Small Business Support Programme, she had only two employees. Today, that number has grown to six. Hlubi M’s products are now in local spaza shops in Bedford and have now expanded reach in Cradock, and Middleburg and is on the verge of getting her products sold to bigger retail outlets across the Eastern Cape.
