Department of Small Business Development revisits North West Province to handover machinery and equipment to informal traders

Deputy Minister of Small Business Development, Mr. Sidumo Dlamini, will lead a delegation of senior officials and programme managers from the Department of Small Business Development, who are primarily responsible for the support measures geared towards the upliftment and empowerment of informal business owners to the North West Province.

Deputy Minister (DM) held a provincial roadshow in Taung earlier in the year, and amongst some of the issues raised by SMMEs and Cooperatives were difficulties in accessing tools and machinery to help sustain businesses mainly owned by informal traders. In response to this impediment, DM Dlamini will be handing over working tools to traders in Mamosa and Greater Taung Local Municipalities.

“It is our intention to decisively tackle lack of employment and productive economic activities in society, especially amongst informal traders. The high levels of unemployment and poverty propelled us to revisit this area as we seek to improve socio-economic development in North West”, explains DM Dlamini.

Members of the media are invited as follows:
Date: Thursday, 8 December 2022
Time: 9:00 – 12:00
Venue: Ipelegeng Multi-Purpose Centre, Mamosa Local Municipality
