Youth’s with already existing business encouraged to enter CAN DO competition

The private sector has not been left wanting following massive investment into the competition by CAN DO! -brand company for Nampak Bevcan.

The opportunity is open to young entrepreneurs between the ages of 18 – 35 who operate any form of existing business nationally.

This year’s ‘Unbreakable Entrepreneurs’ season 2 winner will walk away with R100 000 of business resources, R50 000 to 2nd place and R25 000 to the third place.

With alarming joblessness rate amongst youth’s in the country, this campaign comes in handy as part of skills development by CAN DO!

Already six finalists have been chosen to be part of the competition.

Says Sine Mkhize Marketing Manager Nampak Bevcan CAN DO!: “As a youth brand finds it important to not only inspire the youth but to fundamentally be a part of their lives in a way that truly matters.

Entrepreneurship is growing fast in SA and young people are making things happen with minimal resources. The “Unbreakable Entrepreneurs” competition aims to celebrate these go-getters who in essence share the same intrinsic unbreakable characteristic of the beverage can.”

Last year’s winner went to Thando Vimba aka Mr Sponge – a local entrepreneur from Pretoria who created sneaker cleaning products and services.

2018 winners for season 2 will be announced in August.

Follow the competition on the CAN DO! website www.cando.sa.com as well as on  Facebook “Choose Cans” page, Instagram @cando_za and Twitter @can_do_za.
