Client Feedback
Client Comments:
“Since the arrival of the Access Point in Ginsberg, I have learnt more about business management and have been fortunate to be amongst the few beneficiaries of the interventions that SEDA offers. We are truly happy that we do not have to travel to East London to receive SEDA services and hope that more businesses could take advantage of the services offered by this local office”.
