Cape Town’s StitchBack Revolution is bringing life back to its clothing factories. A special program called Cape Acceler8 helps small clothing makers become big export stars. They learn clever ways to make clothes, manage money, and get connections to buyers. This helps them grow, create jobs, and compete with the world, making the city’s clothing industry hum again.
The establishment of Truworths International Limited’s distribution centre, which is expected to be the largest of its kind in the Western Cape, is generating excitement among Cape Town’s residents. The site, located at King Air Industria, close to Cape Town International Airport, is a testament to the city’s unwavering commitment to becoming the primary business hub in Africa.
A cityfunded programme in Cape Town is assisting small and mediumsized enterprises (SMEs) in the clothing and textile sector. Aimed at training businesses to unlock procurement opportunities and establish lasting supply relationships, the initiative is already on track to sign new contracts with large retailers.
