Empowering entrepreneurs: MCS goes national

The Star

September 30, 2025

BACK by popular demand, the Metropolitan Collective Shapers (MCS) has gone national, calling on young entrepreneurs to transform South Africa's future through opportunities in agriculture and logistics.

- MASABATA MKWANANZI

The national rollout took place at Melrose, Johannesburg, on September 26, where industry experts highlighted the stark reality of South Africa's staggering 33.2% youth unemployment rate.

Now in its fourth iteration, MCS is a powerful youth empowerment and social impact initiative that provides both financial and non-financial support to entrepreneurs. It offers investment funding, business and leadership coaching, national exposure, access to real market opportunities, and ongoing mentorship, branding and media training specifically supporting small businesses in the agriculture and logistics sectors.
