Small businesses have a major role to play in the South African, and especially the MANGAUNG economy in terms of employment creation, income generation and output growth. It is estimated that more than 12 million people in South Africa are actively involved in the SMME sector and account for approximately 60% of all employment in the economy and 40% of output.
In an area such as MANGAUNG, with its relatively high levels of unemployment and poverty, it can be expected that the SMME sector will play an even more important role in job creation and poverty alleviation.
It is essential to strengthen the support systems available for SMMEs in the region in order to create a small business sector that will increase the sustainability of the local economy, increase the competitiveness of local businesses, generate jobs and broaden the tax base of the local municipality.
As a result, the MANGAUNG Local Municipality established a SMME Service Centre with the aim of co-ordinating quality business development support services to local SMME’s.
