On Corporates That Care, we explore a programme making a real difference for young South Africans looking to start their own businesses. Metropolitan Collective Shapers is helping youth entrepreneurs move from merely “getting by” to building sustainable businesses that create jobs, strengthen families, and uplift communities. From agriculture in KwaZulu-Natal to food and hospitality in Tshwane, the initiative provides mentorship, training, financial guidance, and market access, offering young people the tools to grow rather than just a handout. Joining the conversation is Lindiwe Gumede, Chief Marketing Officer at Metropolitan, to explain how the programme works and why it matters for the future of youth entrepreneurship in South Africa.
