TEA Kasi Business Workshop Sets the Stage for Big Opportunities in Orange Farm
TEA Kasi Business Workshop Sets the Stage for Big Opportunities in Orange Farm. Entrepreneurs in Orange Farm are preparing for a high impact development event as the TEA Kasi Business Workshop returns with a renewed emphasis on wellness, resilience and long term business growth. Hosted under the theme Recharge and Rise – Beating Burnout for Sustainable Success, the workshop is designed to help township based entrepreneurs better manage burnout, safeguard their wellbeing and build the stamina required to grow their businesses.
The workshop creates a dedicated space for founders to pause, reflect and reset. Organisers highlight that burnout remains a major challenge for many small businesses, especially in townships where entrepreneurs often juggle multiple responsibilities. This year’s event focuses on practical strategies for balance, healthy habits and sustained performance, ensuring entrepreneurs gain tools they can apply immediately in their personal and business lives.
Attendees can expect a full programme featuring Masterclasses, a Kasi Business Exhibition, the Kasi Pitching Challenge, structured networking opportunities and the popular Mbawula Chat, a fireside style conversation with a seasoned business leader who shares insights drawn from years of building and navigating township markets.
A major highlight is the Kasi Pitching Challenge, which offers a R50 000 grand prize made up of cash and business support services. Participation is limited to registered attendees, giving entrepreneurs an opportunity to pitch their ideas, gain exposure and possibly secure a boost that could accelerate their growth.

Organisers highlight three primary benefits for exhibitors:
Brand Exposure, Direct Customer Engagement and Sales Opportunities. The exhibition is open to both startups and established small businesses seeking visibility within the township entrepreneurship ecosystem.
The Mbawula Chat remains an anticipated part of the programme, offering an intimate conversation with a business leader whose career spans decades in township commerce. This session aims to unpack practical lessons and strategies that resonate with entrepreneurs navigating South Africa’s fast paced and competitive local markets.
Registration for the workshop and applications for exhibition space are currently open, with exhibition entries closing on 6 December 2025 at 23:59.
For South African entrepreneurs, particularly those operating in township communities, the TEA Kasi Business Workshop presents an opportunity to recharge while gaining access to knowledge, networks and inspiration. By blending wellness, business development and community support, the event reinforces the idea that healthier entrepreneurs build stronger, more sustainable businesses.
