Duncan Village
The Nelson Mandela Bay iHub in partnership with the Eastern Cape Development Corporation (ECDC), the Buffalo City Metropolitan Municipality and The Yellow Pages have signed an MOU to jointly establish a township hub that would provide support to ICT SMMEs in the Duncan Village area of the municipality.
The ihub's approach for establishment of township hubs is premised on the need to expand the ihub's footprint into areas that have no effective business support services such as townships and rural areas.
