A Metropolitan Collective Shaper is an entrepreneur at heart. Armed with the self-belief of a business mogul and the spirit of u’Kleva. A Kasipreneur, a Streetpreneur, even. Here’s a youngster who spots a gap and takes it; ever opportunistic, and never without a plan. They don’t see dead ends, they see things all the way to the end, and resilience is a mark of their character. If it doesn’t exist, they’ll innovate and create, build it up and make space for the next. You see, they’ve always been told “vuk’uzenzele”; but something in them says “do it for yourself na bantu bakho.” These are the makers and shapers of communities.
