MEC Zikalala to announce hard-hitting measures aimed at clamping down on illegal trade in Kwazulu-Natal
The proliferation of illegal business enterprises which has caused severe anger among KwaZulu-Natal residents will soon be a thing of the past, thanks to the provincial government’s intervention through the business regulation programme to be launched on Tuesday this week.
KwaZulu-Natal MEC for Economic Development, Tourism and Environmental Affairs, Mr Sihle Zikalala will tomorrow, officially launch the province-wide campaign directed at effective implementation of business regulations which amongst other things call for all businesses to be properly registered to curb illegal trade and unfair competition.
Local government leaders, including mayors, speakers and municipality managers as well as representatives of small scale businesses and corporate sector will be in attendance of this historical gathering.
“We decided to develop a programme aimed at curbing illegal trade after we received numerous complaints about the rise of businesses which operate without permits in all parts of the province. We want to thank our communities for having worked with us as we developed this programme,” said Mr Zikalala.
The launch will take place as follows:
