The Hollywood Foundation 2025 edition of the Mpumalanga (MPU) Bambelela Business Awards takes place in eMalahleni once again from 27 - 28 May 2025. The prestigious event honours the extraordinary contributions of local entrepreneurs in the Mpumalanga region. These awards not only spotlight the transformative impact of Small to Medium Enterprises (SMMEs) in communities but also celebrate their crucial role in job creation across the region.
The two-day programme begins with an Exhibition and Seminar, where qualifying SMMEs showcase their businesses to a panel of judges by either exhibiting or pitching for funding. These esteemed judges then evaluate each participant, seeking out the businesses that have demonstrated exceptional merit, creativity, and community impact.
For those who rise to the top, the rewards are significant. Winners walk away with the prestige of a Bambelela Business Award and a share of R1 Million in funding, generously sponsored by the Hollywood Foundation.
We spoke to one of the resident judges and an economic expert, Thami Zondi about the initiative.
