NEW ENTERPRISE AND CULTURAL CENTRE FOR SOPHIATOWN  

The Motswako (the ‘mix’) Hub will link youth in the historic western area neighbourhoods – all of which suffered from forced removals in the mid 1950s – to entrepreneurship opportunities including training and enterprise incubation.  It aims to reach 1000 young people with enterprise and employment opportunities by Freedom Day 2014.

The President, accompanied by Minister Paul Mashatile and ANC Chairperson Baleka Mbete, viewed these plans for the proposed Motswako Enterprise and Cultural Centre, on his visit to Sophiatown Heritage Centre, run by the Trevor Huddleston Centre .

Welcome

The Trevor Huddleston Centre’s aim is to act as a catalyst for solutions to societal challenges through supporting people to learn, take action, evaluate and achieve their goals for life, while linking to, and serving, the wider community.   

Our training priorities focus on business, enterprise and technology based programmes for the benefit of young people who want to make a difference, but who are not yet able to access skills training or other tertiary education.   We combine this with a value system and proven framework for experiential learning, action and reflection including the arts and creative processes such as drama and oral history.
