The Oak store spotlight
Worth Discovering. Hard to Resist.
THE CHALLENGE IS CLEAR. THE OPPORTUNITY IS BIGGER.
South Africa doesn’t lack talent, ambition or entrepreneurs.
33.6%
Unemployment
8.5 million people are unemployed in South Africa.
South Africa's official unemployment rate reached 33.6% in Q2 2026, with 8.5 million people unemployed.

42.3 M
Working-Age Population
South Africa has 42.3 million people aged 15–64, representing a vast pool of human potential.
The Gap:
Potential does not automatically become economic participation. People need access to opportunity, networks, markets and the tools to participate.
The Oak Store Response:
Connect emerging entrepreneurs and community members to a platform where their skills, products and ideas can become visible and commercially viable.

Entrepreneurship
South Africa's informal sector grew by 34,000 employed people between Q1 and Q2 2026, even as total employment declined by 16,000.
The Gap:
Many emerging businesses are already creating economic activity — but growth can be constrained by limited visibility, market access, digital capability and commercial networks.
The Oak Store Response:
Build a trusted digital marketplace that helps local businesses become visible, connected, supported and easier to discover.

The Engine Behind the Opportunity
Behind The Oak Store is The Magi Youth Development Campus — a community-rooted development organisation focused on equipping people with practical skills and pathways to opportunity.
Through community upskilling initiatives, strategic partnerships and learnership opportunities for unemployed youth, Magi helps turn potential into practical capability.
Our Community Venture Development Programme (CVDP) takes this further — connecting learning to real-world experience in e-commerce, marketing, customer support, logistics and business.
Because skills create possibility. Opportunity creates momentum.

What’s Next? We’re Just Getting Started.
The Oak Store is growing beyond the marketplace.
From taking the Community Venture Development Programme into the Worcester region, to launching our Thrift Store, and continuing our monthly Walkies to Kalkies community participation — we’re building a model that connects commerce, skills development and community impact.
Next stop: More people. More opportunity. More impact.
Worcester → Thrift → Community → Impact

I applied on a Tuesday and had my first order ten days later. The onboarding team fixed my pricing and reshot my photos before anything went live, which is not something I could have done on my own.
