A great opportunity in South Africa - the backlog of houses

moladi, a South African Company and International supplier for the past 16 years, the pioneer of a one-step casting process for the erection of homes,"...Simply cast a whole house in a day, employing unskilled labour, reducing time, waste and cost, eliminating chasing for plumbing and electrical pipe work, plastering and beam filling, resulting in a wall stronger than brick. A cost effective, holistic design and build technology that far outweighs poorly designed costly concrete-block and masonry structures… In order to be a contender when it comes to delivering 50 or 1,000,000 units, it should be viewed as a “Production Line”, similar to that of the automotive industry. By applying a disciplined approach, logistics, management and a reliable technology such as moladi, a project can be completed on time, in budget without forfeiting quality. We are geared to help and coach TEAMmoladi partners and customers, to become more productive, profitable and gain a competitive advantage. www.moladi.com

Youth Entrepreneurship and Innovation

It will be critical if IYF could intensify its activities especially in Southern Africa, with a special emphasis on youth entrepreneurship and innovation training and financing. A great deal of untapped economic potential lies in youth, including creative and competitive innovations which are lacking incentives and support to be realised and be turned into competitive products and services.
