Challenges and Future plans
Financial Sustainability is an issue Our Finances Loss of NDSD of R14.9m eroded reserves and resulted in erratic cashflows. Prolonged use of overdraft costing R2.5m end Oct 2017 Limited success in sourcing replacement funding Restricted funding of staff costs and overheads creating deficits, consequently,lovelife has had two restructuring exercises in 2016. National presence under the current financial circumstances is being revisited. Inability to deliver on projects that have external dependencies
Our Facilities Lack of ownership of land on which YCentres are built Limpopo CT (Langa Ycentre)
