"Any hospitality outlet that is independent or not part of the chain, we really want to help those people with the least amount of support. There must be at least 51% black-owned of African, Coloured and Indian."
The Sekela programme has been launched by Siqalo Foods in partnership with RCL FOODS, Your Food Partners and Bidfood.
