Small businesses include hawkers, street traders and all businesses in the informal trading sector. These are run by the most vulnerable groups in society most of whom cannot access bank loans or state funding.
The owners of SMMEs already waste too much time and money complying with government requirements and bureaucracy – which means time away from running their businesses. We need more students who have an innovative “job creator” mindset. The fourth industrial revolution requires that we rethink what the world of work looks like today.A large part of it includes teaching entrepreneurial skills. We need more creators or inventors. Empowering people, rather than regulating them, is the way to go.
Of course, some businesses require a physical store, but not all of them do. We need to rethink how we incorporate the digital into the physical. Even after the lockdown, the survivors will be those who continuously seek ways to outsmart their competitors.
Unathi_Kwaza They were only given 4 hours in India.
Unathi_Kwaza This is like saying you were never given a chance to budget well for the funeral. 🤐 Kanti what is an emergency?
marinavanzyl Unathi_Kwaza Aaaaai the Capitalist purple cow. This one is compromised, and always complaining about the government
Unathi_Kwaza tsek rubbish
Unathi_Kwaza FarmMurders SouthAfrica BlackPrivilege This culture of non-payment is now firmly entrenched in South African culture and also obstructs Black people from owning property. 'We don't care about SME - we don't care about jobs - at least we are getting food parcels'
Unathi_Kwaza Someone should have paid more attention to the global news around this virus. This idiotic article would then never have been written to start with.
Unathi_Kwaza All she knows is to complain and never ends a tweet with a solution- quick to jump why something is wrong and if you don’t agree with her she blocks you
Unathi_Kwaza We are at war. The enemy is already attacking us
Unathi_Kwaza Excellent article
Unathi_Kwaza Great article Unathi, I trust a small business owner like you to look after your clientele's health & best interests far more than I trust an out of touch politician to do the same! Entrepreneurs are every day heroes!
Unathi_Kwaza You are comparing economics to disease. You cannot.
ramalokot Unathi_Kwaza The article is disappointing, though written a member of Free Market Foundation. It lacks real relevance. It's just shallow & sensationalist. Business ppl whether big or small must at all times keep up with news & adjust activities. Govt isn't to blame for COVID-19.
Unathi_Kwaza Unathi is upset that the virus didnt announce it was going to become a pandemic 3 months in advance 😅
Unathi_Kwaza oh gosh. this chick again. most countries who announced lock downs in advance had massive spikes in transmission because people travelled in between the period of announcement and lock down date. she is getting quite tiring tbh.
Unathi_Kwaza Very sad 😞
Unathi_Kwaza Well written Unathi_Kwaza and very well said.
Unathi_Kwaza You say SMME's didn't have time to adequately safeguard their livelihoods because govt rushed us into a lockdown. You would've preferred govt telling SMME's to prepare themselves for a lockdown in advance? What steps do u think SMME's could've taken had they known in advance?
Unathi_Kwaza Bravo! Excellent article. Many of the responses show how steep the battle for creating prosperity for all is.
Unathi_Kwaza Great piece, Unathi 👏🏻👏🏻
Unathi_Kwaza Hateful replies below prove AGAIN who's REAL delusional hatersSouthAfrica:Due to overpaid publicsector salaries so far removed from a reality of broken economy & fast worsening poverty,that theyre being snide;Like Zim,by the time THEIR salaries'unpaid,its too late
Unathi_Kwaza One thing for sure that i know about unathi, she hates herself. She would never advocate for anything that will improve lives of black people except for other races.
Thanks for publishing my thoughts.👏
Unathi_Kwaza Anyone who claims this is sudden are stupid.. if they cared about the business they should have followed world business trends and china
Unathi_Kwaza The comments here 😂😂😂, Priceless! 🤞
Unathi_Kwaza Agree with unathi
Unathi_Kwaza Emergency never gives anyone a chance. So many projects on hold. New business ventures, some invested money. I know of a startup farmer who paid Eskom R50000,00 for new electricity connections. All those on hold, it's an emergency.
Unathi_Kwaza Who will the small businesses sell to when everyone dies from the pandemic, including themselves. What sort of business will be conducted from beyond the grave? Where is common sense?
Time2Coach Unathi_Kwaza capemanchris
Unathi_Kwaza Wow it's like I've just read many different articles. So disjointed this piece is you'll be forgiven for thinking she writes on different topics. you guys should have created space for her to write more articles separately cause this one simply does not fit together
Unathi_Kwaza She is correct though. If they had more time they could have prepared better. The same goes for the citizens. If we had more time, we would have prepared better. More cigarettes and more booze to name just 2 of the list that people are crying for
Unathi_Kwaza Very valid points Local fine tuning I agree big hammer approach was too harsh. I'm hoping for major tweaking in lockdown policy
Unathi_Kwaza So is everyone, so is the whole world. Please cut us some slack. What’s the point of complaining though!?💁🏽♀️. We are in the lockdown, it’s here to try curb the out spread of the virus. It’s about saving lives. Discuss solutions of how to make it through instead of moaning😢
Unathi_Kwaza It's a world pandemic for heavensake...the world as a whole was not ready for these.
Unathi_Kwaza Unathi Kwaza Andile Mngxitama Ntsiki Mazwai Steve Hofmeyr Toxic and vile bigots.
Unathi_Kwaza She complains about everything, she has no interest in building nor injecting positivity, she is mainly supported by the right against the black government and the EFF. We are clear that lives comes first MorningLiveSABC
Unathi_Kwaza Great article 👍🏽
Unathi_Kwaza Lo Unathi udom manyani or uyazenzisa? Because wow🙄🙄🙄🙄
Unathi_Kwaza brainless poppy doll
Unathi_Kwaza 🙄😒
Unathi_Kwaza Unbelievable...! I just can't believe Unathi at all....
Unathi_Kwaza What a compromised African child, shame man! Some of us are behind our government, keep on singing for supper🤣🤣
Unathi_Kwaza Which phone did you use to take this picture? 🤔
Unathi_Kwaza Emergency how do you prepare mehlolo ya lefatshe ask those who are still alive ka World War 2 ask them
Unathi_Kwaza No one had time to prepare......
Unathi_Kwaza Bekumele kutweni bantakwethu
Unathi_Kwaza Has anyone or country ever been prepared for a sudden emergency like a pandemic?
Unathi_Kwaza Purple Cow
Unathi_Kwaza She's compromised....... Either way she was going to find something to Complain about...
Unathi_Kwaza So is everyone...So what?
