Business Growth Professionals
Fetola means “change” in Sesotho. We are here to empower people to create sustainable lively-hoods and change the world.
“I have been touched by Fetola’s unique authenticity and deep commitment to uplifting South Africans. A wealth of innovation and support has been added from conceptualisation of the programme through to our current stage of execution and we see Fetola as our implementation partners as opposed to a service provider.”
– Heather Lowe, Head Enterprise Development, FNB

How we Started
Catherine Wijnberg started Fetola in 2006 with a vision to contribute to the transformation of the South African economy by growing the small business sector. For it is here that jobs are created, success is cultivated, and women, youth, and rural communities can create self-empowered futures. Catherine was also determined that one woman could make a difference and empower other women to do so, too.
Catherine leads the Fetola team with inimitable passion and her message is clear: anything is possible if you put your mind to it and work hard. Fetola endeavours to set the standards for others to follow and create long-term partnerships with clients and other businesses.
