Achievements and Some Success Stories

We have been through the grind of very tough lessons in development, and have achieved successes in spite, or because of (!!) difficult times. A passion for pioneering innovation has driven us to seek solutions for poverty and go where some fear to tred... Most of our success stories are linked to breaking new ground in development practices and ensuring benefits to communities. We treasure our relationships with individual beneficiaries as people matter most in our projects. The stories of their lives, and their successes, we acknowledge and celebrate, as these have inspired us...

Buyambo Production Group joins Uthango

The Buyambo Production House applied to participate in the Uthango Enterprise Project and was successful. They produced their own marimba CD, which is available for R110,00 via USI. The group performs at corporate functions and travelled to Europe in 2005.

They are young and energetic performers who make a difference to any party with their excellent Marimba music and dances.

Ubuntu's leaders approached a local business development agency already in August 2003 to further their vision. After waiting patiently for a space to open on the Uthango SMME support programme for almost a year, they are as keen as ever to grow their business independently. Buyambo has an amazing tourism project and operates mostly in the far-South in Cape Town. They also recently teamed up with the Solole Game Reserve and with Charlotte's Township Tours in Masiphumelele to create an unique experience.
