Clean, Economical & Safe Energy Products

In South Africa and throughout Africa, Informal Trading makes up a huge part of job creation and in-turn food hawking makes up a huge part of this informal economy. At present there are no decent, affordable, portable 'stands' for the informal traders to operate from. Shopping trolleys, beer crates and rickety tables come to mind when seeing these traders out there.

We have designed a portable, formal, multi purpose trader stand that has the potential to evolve into a sustainable 'vehicle' for the informal traders around South Africa, Africa and the world to operate from.

A portable, simple and effective stand for any street vendor to operate from. A customisable stand to suite the hawkers products, budgets and and styles.

Shisa Food Stands -

A simple affordable “business in a bag”

Employment Initiatives

The stands we have for either food vending or product sales look brilliant and has credibility as a Trader Stand - wether selling food, bags or airtime - it is a place of business for any Entrepreneur.

The stand is a strong,  collapsible and will fit into a purpose made bag - which folds out, to double as signage for the entrepreneurs enterprise.

The food stands use a double gel fuel stove for easy cooking.

We have some great ideas for our ‘Mark II’ versions to make it lighter and easier to transport, adding Solar Panels, Shelving, Lockable Back,  and a wheelie version.

STIX  Employment Initiatives

The informal food vending industry has needed a major overhaul for too long now, Shisa Afrika is proud to present an affordable, unique and empowering food Franchise opportunity.

Our simple and versatile food trolleys and stands will help create a new alternative employment initiative for hundreds of eager entrepreneurs in and around South Africa. The focus of our initiative is to create entrepreneur driven micro-businesses with a view to expand into a number of other market sectors by creating a recognised brand through a simple franchise model.

The concept is simple, affordable, manageable and greatly empowering to all of those who become a part of this new model of micro-franchising and micro-financing.

A typical Franchised food outlet is far too expensive for most people to afford or buy into, added to that the whole operation can be overwhelmingly technical, financially debilitating or too labour intensive. The STIX    franchise on the other hand is small, mobile, economical and it is easy to operate and manage.

With a low capital investment and operating costs, makes STIX a low risk business investment for almost any individual wanting to become their own boss and have their own business to invest in. The incorporation of Corporate Social Investment sponsorship for these entrepreneurs becomes a feasible financing option for many of the previously disadvantaged entrepreneurs.
