THE SWAZILAND QUALITY INCLUSION PROGRAMME
I was recently approached by a friend to come up with a program that would make standards impact the wider Swazi community in terms of the promotion of the linkage between big and small businesses; in a way that will pull more people into the business arena and lend some vibrancy to our economy.
