Small business development minister Stella Ndabeni-Abrahams said she and her team are trying to find solutions aimed at lessening the devastating effect of load-shedding on small businesses.
Details of the package, the criteria and avenues for application for the relief will be announced soon. Ndabeni-Abrahams said Sefa conducted research on the effect of load-shedding on its funded clients. She said the study showed that most respondents were highly reliant on electricity for their operations, with 71% of the respondents indicating they were hit by load-shedding.

I didn't go to Geneva but Switzerland 🐏Only few would know that🐏
Wtf... is she going to give out generators. If not she can get lost
All talk and total bullshit
I think a new commission of enquiry is on the cards
Stellarated is as usefull as a torn condom..
😂
Tell her to shut up and continue doing nothing
Useless this one
Garment construction is by using a sewing machine, long gone are the days of the manual footwork sewing machine. Imagine the impact on the fashion industry 😳 🤧 !!!
We have a small business development minister? Are you fecking kidding me? 🤡
She must start here
Lier
Just like covid these deals are for friends. 1. Clearance vat 2. Audited statements You out before you started that's our government
Tenders loading…
How will she achieve this. Not all small business are in fancy office parks or factories. Will people have to submit documents and based on what they do will get a break or will it be BEE businesses only. Most businesses are located in residential areas so how will she decide.
The best solution Stellarated is to provide SME's with solar panels and inverters...but GwedeMantashe1 won't approve that, since it means that they will rely less on Eskom_SA which means less coal is being burned. Good luck with that uncle
She and the ANC president are a joke
Yes I'm sure you are. 😏 you can start by removing the massive tax burden and red tape on small business.
If USELESS was a person
Don't forget small business that was affected by lock down in fact ANC government is small business 's nightmare
One of the Beautiful African ladies zaseMzantsi. Lovely and nala daai ding
She couldn't find a noodle in noodle soup.
That one is just a delinquent place holder!
I didn't even know Stella is Small Business minister and I'm an entrepreneur, iyoh
That’s all u guys do Meet up and do nothing at the end South Africa is cursed with endless committees and meetings Those are the hallmarks of a spineless incompetent president at the helm U guys probably have a committee on toothpick selection Pathetic
A wise president would close this department, but we don't have one. Things will go on as usual and nothing will happen for years, but the speech will play over and over like a scratched record.
She still doesn't know the business are grappling as she gonna listening
Still trying?😒
How about tax exception for every day the state is an inconvenience (to say the least) to small business this way.
Here’s a thought: stop stealing from the fiscus!! Remove deployed cadres!! Cancel all contracts with the politically connected!!
always blowing warm air this 4th Industrial Revolutionary
Has she ever been successful in solving any problems since she was appointed a Minister? Beyond her socializing during Lockdown what is she known for?
She has a better chance of finding Wakanda.🤡
Ha!
I hope she's convening meetings and setting up committees otherwise we won't make any progress.
Ah Stella dispensing the largesse again. So generous with OUR money.
😂😂😂🤡
More smoke and mirrors. MYANC
Small business but our CBD's are hijacked where will we open these businesses government is clowning around
We look forward to the entire MYANC 's resignation from Government. That will certainly help. voetsekANC
They just deployed her. She don't even know what's her job is.
Us as big business are impacted immensely too, the diesel cost is insane. Cost per month currently is a senior manager’s annual income. PER MONTH. How is this going to be solved?
Times Live will report KAK on any Given day.. This is what SowetanLIVE went out and done.. Investigated the business affected and the effects thereafter of Loadshedding & lockdowns in this Country.. And Quiet frankly Stellarated don't give a SH!T... Much like ANC ☝️
They have scheduled a meeting for the next month during which they will schedule a meeting for March next year to discuss the issues. Ministers are joke. One took 4 years to appoint a Board of SABS. 🤮🤮🤮🤮
More money going to disappear !!
Force politicians to live in the same circumstances as the rest of SA. No Solar, No Tax Funded generator or fuel, no Inverter. Let them suffer with us. Loadshedding will be suspended indefinitely in a matter of weeks.
Remember.Only SMEs that were tax compliant throughout all these recent disasters,who selected to not pay staff and suppliers instead of SARS,will qualify.
asifuni ukunikezwa. U-eskom kumele aqede ukucishwa kukagesi.
We need 'relief in action', everything you all promise to do is more than 20 years late.
She is not capable of hitting a dent in a checkers bag.
She'll never find anything because she's never succeeded in anything.. Including geography.. Switzerland, Geneva..
Here is an idea for Stella: Remove all import duties and VAT on solar panels, batteries, and inverters. Train young people to do solar installations.
How about a tax freeze.
No plan at all just polotiking
Maybe stop stealing the money.
There are no solutions other than to end load shedding.
“Small business “ read it as “ cadre tenderprenuers”, they don’t care about actual small businesses
We are led by drunkards
My beautiful kryptonite, she makes me weak in the knees & I believe every word she says even if it means nothing in reality as small businesses require electricity to function, accept if she's gonna give everyone free Ryobi 5.5 kVa generators with a year's supply of fuel...
bullshit.. not like government is going to make a turn at every small business and give us a generator.. i should get off twitter, loadshedding starts in 40mins.. Tsek
Let me interpret: The ANC has found a way to get access to funds to direct to friends and relatives.
I hate politics, what does that even mean?
What does the department of small business development do? As a small business owner, I have not seen their role
This is not news for goodness sake
What will she do?
Trying to look busy
Here's a guaranteed solution. Pack your collective bags and get the hell out of government. We need a competent government of integrity for the sake of the country.
Look out here comes a tender to supply generators to black owned smme’s at 1000% markup. The shit storm continues
How about starting at the 28% after tax profit share SARS steals for offering ZERO service.Where in the world do you pay for ZERO service....Only in SA
We have never seen the effectiveness of this Department where we live. This is just another talk show by the minister to play with SA people's minds.
Trying is no longer good enough. The proof is the doing.
This is another cadre that has never been useless in all her portfolios
She only cares about dressing up and attending events.
By small business they mean, friends, colleagues and concubines
ALETTAHA ....all talk....no action.
Her party is causing the loadshedding. Maybe she should start there.
The only Service MYANC knows is 'LipService' 2023 they will make new Promises Blah blah blah blah leading to 2024 Elections. Failure and MYANC go hand in hand there's no separating them 🤞🏾2023 these MF need to be booted Out bcoz they will STEAL knowing it's their last Rodeo.
The injustice and inequality crushing the masses (back) can only be tackled by conscious revolution embarked on by the very people facing it on daily. There's no amount of talk that can solve it as it's perpetuated by those managing the public.
Has her 4IR initiative been successful in promoting innovation, entrepreneurship, and curbing challenges faced by SMMEs? In that case, how will she be able to get this one right.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Paying lip service nothing will come out of this.
And when a small business starts, certainly any minister spouses must absolutely stay away there.
Lol same money that will just go to white businesses like the Covid funds
She must start by closing illegal immigrants businesses first and then she can come back and talk to us
Do they ever find solutions ? They'll die trying if we don't vote them out of office.
This one with lie's we are tired guy's
Blah blah blah, need I say more? ' talk is cheap'. 'Put your money where your mouth is'
Okay ja and maybe hell freezes over 1st 😒🤨
Shall we add stellarated's name to the 'I AM A MORON' list just like GwedeMantashe1? GenevaNotSwitzerland
Amakota aya baiziseka yaz'..🤔
Address load shedding, measure of minimising impact are not lasting. Deal with the problem head on - condem your colleagues
To little way way to late!!
So says small business development minister who has never owned a small business
Give them ministers generator
Energy relief package for small businesses announced. Mxm. Can somebody share what they are smoking?
Spoiler alert: no solutions have been found.
She will find nothing..after 1 year
Stellarated DSBD_SA and her team don't have a clue. Never did.
Trust me, we're going to reach 2024 elections without the solutions found or implemented.
Thank you Sowetan
Dear GovernmentZA Two suggestions - provide electricity and provide tax breaks. Consult with people with small businesses who suffered COViD devastation and those who were forced to close their doors due to electricity crisis. Speak to those affected so you can truly understand
Mmhh kanene State of the Nation is getting closer
