Some vendors from Rundu Open Market admitted that even though they are entrepreneurs, they still lack financial discipline.

This realisation prompted Prince and Pemba Investments, a local business, to provide the vendors with financial management skills for free.

The Rundu Open Market is full of activities with vendors selling a variety of goods and services.

But there is a challenge experienced by a number of them, as they find it difficult to manage their finances.

Prince and Pemba Investment CC then approached the vendors to apply for an eighth-month financial management training, and 17 vendors were selected.

A graduation ceremony was held to mark their new era in financial discipline.

Rundu Rural Councillor Paulus Mbangu applauded the vendors for their willingness to learn more.
