Dean Benjamin, a final year MBA student at Harvard Business School in Boston, and 12 post-graduate students in his class, visited The Garden in Parys the past weekend.
They met with young entrepreneurs from Parys and Tumahole to hear their stories.
The students also advised the entrepreneurs on how to structure their respective businesses.
The students are part of a group of 28 Harvard students who are on a three- week tour of South Africa, organised by Dean and his sister Mandy (Benjamin) Muchnick. Dean will graduate from Harvard in May 2020. He is the son of Colin Benjamin of Parys.
