🌟 Hello, I'm Andile Mbhele: Founder & CEO of Just Vendors Enterprise (Pty) Ltd 🚀

I'm a visionary entrepreneur on a mission to transform township and rural economies in South Africa. Economic empowerment is my heartbeat, and I've woven it into the fabric of Just Vendors Enterprise. Our unique business model bridges the gap between local retailers and consumers using innovative, tech-driven solutio

ns. It's fueled by resilience, strategic thinking, and an unyielding pursuit of excellence. From street kid to entrepreneur—I've danced with adversity. Born and raised in challenging circumstances, I've channeled those experiences into building a business that's more than profit—it's about uplifting communities and creating lasting change. Just Vendors Enterprise is my brainchild. Empowering local retailers and creating sustainable opportunities. The PHANTA Network—our 'Retail MLM Model'—incentivizes consumers to refer retailers virtually. Sales soar, and collaboration thrives. 🌿

Cutting-edge tech? AI tools, blockchain-inspired magic—we've embraced them all. But innovation isn't just code; it's culture. Collaboration and excellence? We breathe them. My strategic partnerships? They're constellations—connecting us to local retailers and industry giants alike. 🌌

- Microsoft for Startups: We're part of this elite program, unlocking critical resources for scaling.
- Y Combinator Startup School: Lifelong learning? It's my warp drive.
- Strategic Partnerships: Conversations with local retailers and industry leaders? They're shaping our cosmic impact. Just Vendors isn't just a business; it's a catalyst. I see self-sustaining ecosystems where retailers thrive, consumers flourish, and communities prosper. Our footprint? Expanding across the continent. Retail and distribution? We're writing the playbook. 🌏💫

Inspired by "The Leader Who Had No Title", "Medieval Millionaire" and "The 5 AM Club," I lead by example. Ambitious goals? They're my North Star. Financial freedom, generational wealth, community impact—they're my cosmic coordinates. 🌠

Great update, everyone 🚀 I’m thrilled to share that we’ve been shortlisted for the DSTI EPF Tech Fund Venture Building Program.

We recently had an online interview where we discussed how our PHANTA Network is set to transform township retail by creating income opportunities for local communities.

Although our app is still in development, we’ve re-engaged 21 retailers and generated early revenue.

While challenges like limited capital and the search for a tech co-founder remain, this program is a vital step toward scaling our vision.

A heartfelt thank you to the DSTI EPF Tech Fund Team for this opportunity – the journey is just beginning! 🌟

💡 EVERYTHING IS FIGUREOUTABLE! 💡

Just Vendors & our PHANTA Network are PROOF of that. 💯

We’ve been through the fire—cash flow struggles, rejection, setbacks, and an uphill battle for funding.

But here’s the thing: We struggle - And FAIL - FORWARD. 📈💪

Why? Because at Just Vendors, we don’t believe in quitting. We’ve got the KMF (Keep Moving Forward) mindset, a lesson we learned from Robin Sharma. No matter how tough it gets, we adapt, we pivot, and we FIND a way.

🚀 In 2024, we smashed over 90% of our annual business goals—despite every challenge thrown our way! And guess what? Month-end, we’ll be setting our 2025 goals and targets (on OUR terms, not society’s timeline [typically every January]—because at Just Vendors, we run our own race! 🏁).

This journey wouldn’t be possible without our real MVPs—our supporters and partners:

💙 Microsoft for Startups
🧡 Y Combinator Startup School
❤️ VC4A
💙 SmartXchange
💛 FNB (even though y’all stress me out at times 😅)
🖤 BhongoNations Mthokozisi Khumbane

And last but not least, Our Retail Micro distribution nodes [Pics attached]: ABC Supermarket, Discount wholesalers, Isaac's tuckshop, KwaTata supermarkert, Taxi-Rank supermarkert, Mr Lunch and many more...........

Thanks to YOU, we’re still standing, still growing, and still making moves.

💡 So to all Entrepreneurs out there grinding in silence, struggling forward—keep going. Keep building. Because EVERYTHING is ! 💡
