Why are there not many entrepreneurs in South Africa?
In fact, only 15% of our start-ups go the distance. This means that entrepreneurship in South Africa is failing in one of the key areas where it is intended (and where it is sorely needed) to have the most impact: job creation. One of the reasons for this failure is the lack of alignment between skills and ideas.
Does South Africa need more entrepreneurs?
In South Africa, small businesses are critical to our national economy. With a staggering unemployment rate of 27.6% and around 127 000 jobs lost in the third quarter of last year, there has never been a stronger need for entrepreneurs to step up and fight for the nation.
