A partnership has been formed to spearhead the creation
of High School Entrepreneur Societies in Durban. It is
hoped that each High School will establish its own Society
that will become a nucleus for the propagation and
spread of an entrepreneurial spirit in the school
environment. The Global Shapers Durban Hub is driving
this initiative in Durban and KZN in partnership with the
SA Teen Entrepreneur Foundation.
