Thandulwazi Primary School — Grade 7 “Fresh & Fruity” Enterprise
, 1. BUSINESS IDEA AND TARGET MARKET
School Context
School: Thandulwazi Primary School, a public school in a semi-urban township in Limpopo (adapted
from the Thohoyandou context in the study guide, p. 187). The school has 620 learners from Grade
R to Grade 7, with a feeding scheme kitchen and a small tuck shop. Many learners come from
homes where parents are unemployed or informally employed. The school has a paved quad area
and a gate where parents collect learners between 12:30 and 14:00.
Learners involved: 30 Grade 7 learners (5 groups of 6 learners each) — the Grade 7 class used in
the study guide’s flea-market examples (pp. 193–198).
Business Idea: “Fresh & Fruity” — Fruit Salad Cups and Fresh Juice
The five groups will prepare and sell fruit salad cups and fresh fruit juice at the Market Day.
Why this idea was selected:
Feasibility: No cooking or electricity is required — only washing, cutting, mixing, and packaging.
It is safe for primary school learners and easy to manage on school premises.
Low start-up cost: Fruit and containers are inexpensive and can be bought in bulk. The study
guide notes that flea markets suit “junior schools” precisely because the products are simple
and low-risk (p. 193).
Community relevance: Fruit is familiar to learners and parents. The study guide’s case study of
Muyahavho Emeldah Ramathuba (p. 196) describes a fruit and vegetable stall, so this product is
directly aligned with the local context.
