Sello Matsobane, who is the deputy chairperson of the company, said one of the primary aims of signing the agreement is to ensure economic opportunities for former political prisoners in the country.

Vuyisile Edward Mbundu said having been involved in a political struggle, they now have a big challenge when it comes to exploiting economic opportunities in the country.

We would also like to explore other economic opportunities in other sectors, not necessary only those that the government has to offer,” Mbundu said.
