Seape had received a contract from the National Housing Registration Council to inspect defects in houses built in Gauteng when she applied to the NEF for help.

"She serviced her debt without defaults, and demonstrates real empowerment at work," commented NEF fund manager Nhlanhla Nyembe. - I-Net Bridge
