The expo is designed to celebrate young innovators and will feature an array of young entrepreneurs presenting their products and services for sale.
Lalela is a non-profit organisation (NPO) with a chapter based in Hout Bay. It offers after-school programmes of which the curricula are built at the intersection of arts education, academic achievement and critical life skills, with the aim of cultivating creative expression in the youth.
