JOHANNESBURG - Several officials of the Department of Small Business Development have been suspended with immediate effect after serious allegations of corruption within the unit responsible for incentive scheme administration.
"The people of South Africa deserve a professional service dispersed equitably without fear or favour. Access to finance remains a critical challenge for SMMEs and Cooperatives and so, we had to act decisively on this matter in order to prevent the possible perpetuation of corruption and further prejudice to SMMEs and Cooperatives," Small Business Development Minister Lindiwe Zulu said.
"BBSDP is a cost-sharing grant offered to black-owned small enterprises to assist them to improve their competitiveness and sustainability whilst the CIS is a 100% grant for registered primary co-operatives," Department spokesperson, Noko Manyelo, said. The department said it will be laying criminal charges in cases of possible fraudulent activities against the official, grant applicants and service providers with the South African Police Services .

So what's new? Prosecution, I wonder
Wow 😮 to think the department would have more important issues to deal with like small businesses bleeding due to LoadShedding🤒
I personally don't see the reason to have this department really
Errrrrm.... Like rape, it became a norm amongst certain cultures
What is the department planning to do to help small businesses who are going to shut down because of load shedding?

CyrilRamaphosa are these people going to jail You are far too quiet whenever these things come to light. Btw, do we even NEED this cabinet whilst we already have the DTI?

Is this the only department involved in corruption. Should PresidencyZA not do a lifestyle audit in all departments? Especially departments which deal with creating jobs etc?
