Abstract
Unemployment is one of the major problems in South Africa. It is the concern of the government
and the people at large to engage in means in order to reduce poverty. In this research, I would
like to explore the possibilities of social entrepreneurial activities as a way of social and
economic transformation in Tshwane. If this could be a possibility it means the church can go
all out to see that the communities and members are encouraged to engage in. People will be
able to improve their lives without depending on the grants from the government. Our
methodology will be a literature review and intra-disciplinary approach. The method would
be community mapping, World Café and focused group.
