The Tsitsikamma Wind Farm Trust (TWFT) was proud to be part of the 2026 Exxaro Pitch for Funding Programme, hosted in partnership with Cennergi and the Small Enterprise Development and Finance Agency (SEDFA).

The three-day programme brought together local SMMEs and cooperatives through an Open Day, an intensive Masterclass, and the highly anticipated Pitch for Funding Competition, held at the Wittekleibosch Community Hall.

We are incredibly excited to congratulate our three winners, each receiving R250,000 to strengthen and grow their businesses:

🏆 Unako Waste Bins – Waste Bin Manufacturing | Koukamma
🏆 Lubengu – Psychometric Assessment Services | AmaMfengu
🏆 Hendrix Manufacturers – Food Truck Services | Kouga

The funding will enable each business to procure essential equipment (80%) and provide working capital (20%) to support business operations and growth.

But the support does not end with funding.

To further strengthen these emerging enterprises, the three winners will attend an intensive five-day training programme in Gauteng later this year. In addition, SEDFA will adopt the winning enterprises as clients, providing ongoing, needs-based capacity-building and non-financial support.

A special thank you to Exxaro for investing in these local entrepreneurs and providing much-needed financial support.

Exxaro is the 100% owner of Cennergi, which is the majority shareholder (75%) in the Tsitsikamma Community Wind Farm project.

We look forward to seeing these businesses grow, create opportunities and contribute meaningfully to their communities and the local economy.

Congratulations to all three winners! 🎉

❓ TWFT Community FAQ | Does applying guarantee funding?

This is a question we answer a lot, and the answer is No, sending a request or applying does not automatically guarantee funding.

All applications and funding requests are carefully reviewed by the Funding Committee before any approvals are made. While meeting the requirements is important, it does not mean funding will be guaranteed.

This process helps the Trust make fair and informed decisions, especially when there are many requests, and limited resources. 🙏

Jody-Ann Gouws from Clarkson is one of the Tsitsikamma Wind Farm Trust's Skills Development Programme beneficiaries and her journey is a wonderful example of where determination and opportunity can lead. 🩵

Jody-Ann completed her Cabin Crew training at Big Sky Academy in Pretoria and qualified as a licensed Cabin Crew member, becoming the Trust's first programme graduate of 2025.🎓

Her achievement highlights the impact of skills development in creating pathways to meaningful careers and empowering young people to reach new heights.

The Tsitsikamma Wind Farm Trust is proud to have been part of Jody-Ann's journey and remains committed to investing in skills that create opportunities and help build stronger communities.

Well done, Jody-Ann! 👏
