Case Study #1: DISTELL AND STELLAR AGRI

A partnership between Distell and Stellar Wines pooled their combined resources to set up a new and flourishing SME. This case study tells the story of a young rural farmer who accepted the challenge to pivot from farmer to business leader, managing the technical operations and business of Stellar Agri and the corporates that made this possible.
Case Study #2: EXARRO AND MB RESOURCES
Mining business grows exponentially into Africa during Covid.
MB Resources, an emerging contract mining and consulting SME, owned by engineer Lerato Lelaka, was nominated by finalist Exarro, to win the small supplier growth award. Their exponential growth of over 300% since inception was possible through Exxaro’s pandemic funding and minerals succession programmes to catalyse initiatives, especially black women owned SMEs, in mining communities and labour sending areas.
