We need fast action to make the thousands of small businesses throughout South Africa more resilient to coronavirus-related economic disruptions.

Our goal is to make sure businesses stay in business and that we keep

workers employed.

Small businesses are vital economic engines, the mainstay of our economy and the future of job creation. More than two-thirds of the working force work in a small business today. This is why we need to make sure we bridge businesses through these tough times. Our goal is to make sure businesses stay in business and that we keep workers employed. Although this is a time to be careful, it’s not a time to panic and stop shopping locally, it’s the time to stand together.
