Minister Zulu dismisses Ekurhuleni Black Suppliers roadshow as fake

17 Aug 2018

Minister of Small Business Development, Ms Lindiwe Zulu, has distanced herself and her department from a fake event branded as Ekurhuleni Black Suppliers Road Show.

The purpose of these guidelines is to provide municipalities and businesses with practical tools and resources to address municipal Red Tape issues which have the potential to improve the business environment for small businesses.

10 January 2019 - I am delighted to be afforded this important opportunity to share my thoughts on the role of small businesses and how the department’s programmes can advance the growth and sustainability of small businesses. At the outset, let me state that the vision of the Department of Small Business Development and its agencies is to create a vibrant culture of entrepreneurship and enterprise growth, where small businesses and co-operatives act as drivers of job creation and inclusive economic growth.
