Vutivi Business News has launched the Vutivi Resource Tab, an exclusive online portal designed to provide South Africa’s entrepreneurs with free access to practical business tools, templates and guides.
Available on the Vutivi Business News website, Resource Tab is a digital toolkit for entrepreneurs who seek reliable information that is easy to understand and has practical applications for their businesses.
Since the publication’s launch in 2020, Vutivi Business News has reported on thousands of stories including those of small businesses, informal traders and entrepreneurs shaping South Africa’s economy. Now, five years later, the publication is taking its mission a step further by turning journalism into actionable service for the community it covers.
“For five years we’ve brought you the stories that matter. Now, we’re empowering entrepreneurs with the tools to write their own,” Vutivi Business News Founder and Editor-in-Chief Moipone Malefane said.
