GUEST – Raymond Ledwaba - CEO of ItThynk Gaming and Consortium Spokesperson
The South African gaming industry has experienced significant growth, with a Compound Annual Growth Rate of 4.7% since 2020. To further stimulate this growth, a team of collective entities in the gaming industry, collectively known as “the Game Changers” consortium, has secured R12.9 million funding from the National Treasury's Jobs Fund initiative.
The Jobs Fund is a South African government R9 billion matching grant making programme managed by the National Treasury aimed at boosting employment and inclusive economic growth. The Fund operates on Challenge Fund principles i.e. its grant making process is transparent, competitive and success criteria are clearly defined. The Fund supports job creation interventions that generate sustainable employment beyond the grant making phase.
