MASISIZANE FUND<br />
<strong>2017</strong> marks the tenth anniversary of the<br />
Masisizane Fund. Established as an initiative<br />
of Old Mutual South Africa in 2007 following<br />
the closure of the Unclaimed Shares Trust, the<br />
Masisizane Fund has made good inroads<br />
toward fulfilling their mandate to contribute<br />
meaningfully to employment creation, poverty<br />
eradication, the reduction of inequality,<br />
economic growth and attraction of investments.<br />
In 2016, loans to the value of R<strong>18</strong>.4 million<br />
were approved for the <strong>Limpopo</strong> region,<br />
R14 million was dispersed, four enterprises were<br />
funded and 68 jobs were facilitated .<br />
The Masisizane Fund offers tailored, integrated<br />
and flexible financial and non-financial<br />
solutions including financial education,<br />
capacity development and mentoring<br />
support. "We take time to fully understand<br />
each enterprise’s needs, challenges and<br />
characteristics. The partnerships this<br />
understanding creates with small business<br />
owners adds value and offers innovative<br />
enterprise finance models aimed at ensuring<br />
long-term enterprise growth, sustainability<br />
and development impact", says Maphala<br />

Mashashane Filling Station (Pty) Ltd is a<br />
legacy business established by the late<br />
Mr GM Ledwaba. The business ceased its<br />
operation in 2003. The Ledwaba family<br />
retained ownership but rented the business to<br />
someone else until early 2012 when it was<br />
inherited by Lucas Ledwaba who worked to<br />
formalise the operations and register it as a<br />
private company. Since then the<br />
Mashashane Filling Station (MFS) has only<br />
improved and grown under Lucas’<br />
leadership.<br />
Lucas is a self-made man who, in spite of<br />
not having a formal tertiary education, has<br />
natural business acumen, understands the<br />
nature of his business, has experience and is<br />
a formidable entrepreneur.<br />
