Cell C wants you to get your 2021 entrepreneurial game-on

Cell C is calling on prospective South African entrepreneurs to use this time to 'change your summer, change your world'.

South Africa's future is dependent on the growth of the number of successful entrepreneurs and small business owners that it can nurture.

Strong economies like those of the USA, and rapidly expanding regions of South East Asia, were built on the back of purposefully strong entrepreneurial growth and innovation.

For young South Africans, and those who have the drive to be 'their own boss' and call the shots in their own business, 2021 is really the ideal time to be venturing out on your own and creating your own future.

With a new focus by the government on promoting localisation and and an increasing demand by big business to source more of their value chain from South African suppliers - along with historically low interest rates - all signs are indicating that it has never been a better time to start a small business in South Africa.

South African mobile-operator Cell C is calling on all prospective entrepreneurs to use this summer time to start recording those business plans, to change their destiny and change their world in the process.

To help out even more, entrepreneurs can stand the chance to win 1 of 20 Nissan NP200 bakkies which will be given away weekly to lucky winners of the #ChangeYourSummer campaign.

If you don't already have an existing business that a bakkie will be useful for - just imagine all of the other small businesses that you can get off the ground thanks to owning a Nissan NP200.

You could create a:

  • Small-goods moving business
  • A courier company
  • A food truck
  • A bin-cleaning service
  • A mobile nail salon
  • An LP gas-cylinder delivery service
  • A recycling collection service
  • A mobile dog grooming van

...and there are so many more. All of these can start making money for you from January 2021 should you be lucky enough to win.
