SA's new generation entrepreneurs: Meet township baking mogul Refiloe Rantekoa - with GG Alcock

After listening to Kasonomics author GG Alcock's recent interview on the dynamism of township entrepreneurs, SA's globally respected futurist Clem Sunter prodded us into kicking off a series celebrating these emerging champions. The inimitable GG agreed to help, getting the ball rolling by bringing Refiloe Rantekoa into the BizNews studio to tell us his story. Rantekoa is no stranger to media coverage, having won Emerging Entrepreneur competitions that brought him to the attention of global news networks like Bloomberg and Al Jazeera. But his achievements haven't yet registered where he actually needs it. The township bakery entrepreneur is struggling to raise capital from State agencies whose sole purpose is to support emerging entrepreneurs. Given the obstacles he has overcome and the dreams of this 30-something business creator, it's a mystery where the bureaucrats think they will unearth a more deserving candidate for taxpayer support.
