Client Feedback
Client Comments:
We at Lephuka Embroidery would like to thank this opportunity to thank Sedfa for the invitation to participate in the Pop-Up Market which was held in Nkomo Village. The market assisted the business to show case its school uniform to a broader market with many potential school uniform buyers. We are grateful and looking forward to Sedfa for further support especially in the implementation of an accounting system .
