3 Mandate The department will lead an integrated approach to the promotion and development of small businesses and cooperatives through a focus on the economic and legislative drivers that stimulate entrepreneurship to contribute to radical economic transformation. 3
4 2015 | 4 It is necessary to recognise the tension in the mandate and strategic focus between supporting dynamic established SMMEs with growth-focussed efforts and poverty alleviation, which focuses on the poorest of the poor. Growth-focussed Support -Established SMMEs with scope to grow -Greater employment multiplier -Greater ROI and sustainability for financing activities -Long-term higher impact on overall mandate -Establishment of black industrialists -Eg Gazelles programme Poverty Alleviation -Focus on micro and informal enterprises -Priority is sustainable livelihoods for the poorest in society (incl rural areas and priority groups – women, youth, people with disabilities) -Focuses resources on the areas of greatest need -Lower impact, lower employment multiplier While the breadth of the mandate means that DSBD does not have the luxury of focussing purely on one or the other, a balance must be found that ultimately prioritises the highest impact opportunities. 1 Mandate…
5 Strategic Overview 5 A radically transformed economy through effective development and increased participation of SMMEs and cooperatives in the mainstream economy To create a conducive environment for the development and growth of small businesses and cooperatives through the provision of enhanced financial and non-financial support services, and leveraging on public and private procurement Integrity Professionalism Accessibility Commitment Mission Why we are here Vision Where we want to be Values How we want to behave STRATEGIC GOALS AND INITIATIVES What we are going to do INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE How we manage our individual performance ORGANISATIONAL PERFORMANCE How we manage collective performance
6 Legislative and other mandates Constitutional Mandate: Section 22: Every citizen has the right to choose their trade, occupation or profession freely. The practice of a trade, occupation or profession may be regulated by law. 6
7 Legislative and other mandates Policy mandates: The National Development Plan – Vision 2030 developed on the basis that South Africa needs an economy that is more inclusive, more dynamic and in which the fruits of growth are shared more equitably The DSBD plays a major and direct role in implementing Chapters 3 and 6 of the NDP that deal with the economy and employment and rural inclusive growth, respectively. The NDP builds on the government’s New Growth Path that aims to create 5 million jobs by 2024 and bring about a new more inclusive, labour-intensive and efficient economy. 7
8 Legislative and other mandates… Policy mandates (cont) Creating decent work, eliminating poverty and reducing inequality can only happen through a new economic growth path founded on restructuring the South African economy The Medium Term Strategic Framework (MTSF) 2014-19 is the first 5-year implementation plan of the NDP The department is tasked to contribute to two outcomes of the MTSF, namely, Outcome 4: Decent employment through inclusive growth, and Outcome 7: Rural development. 8
9 Legislative and other mandates… Policy mandates (cont) During the 2014 and 2015 State of the Nation Addresses, the President emphasised the role that small business can play in jump-starting the economy and under the “small business is big business” theme, he emphasised the need for the economy to prioritise support to small businesses, cooperatives and informal businesses. In the 2015 State of the Nation Address, the President announced that “Government will set-aside 30% of appropriate categories of State procurement for purchasing from SMMEs, co-operatives as well as township and rural enterprises”. 9
10 Legislative and other mandates… Planned Policy Reviews Integrated Strategy on the Promotion of Entrepreneurship and Small Enterprise National Small Business Act, 1996 as amended 10
11 Situational analysis THE GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE Globally, SMMEs are key drivers of growth and job creation in better performing and more stable economies Small businesses represent over 95% of total businesses and employ between 60% and 85% of the total work force in countries such as Germany, India, Malaysia, the People’s Republic of China and Taiwan The contribution and participation of small business in the South African economy is far below its potential Currently, small businesses represent 98% of the businesses and employ 47% of the total workforce 11
12 Situational analysis … THE SOUTH AFRICAN PERSPECTIVE According to Colin Coleman, “South Africa can achieve 5% growth over the next five years if Government and the Private sector together invest R12bn in 300 000 new small businesses every year in the next five years.” Realising this potential, the DSBD is embarking on a process of mobilising all spheres of government and private sector to redefine the policy, legislative and regulatory environment to capacitate small businesses to turn the economy around Government has committed to provide greater opportunities for SMMEs to access the public procurement system through legislative reform, which includes the revision of the Small Business Act and the Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act 12
13 Situational analysis… THE SOUTH AFRICAN PERSPECTIVE The 2015 Public Sector Supply Chain Review procurement confirmed that in 2013/14 government spent R500 billion on the procurement of goods and services as well as construction works If a portion of that money were to be directed to SMMEs, it would make a significant contribution to the sustainability and growth of SMMEs Through the Nine-point Plan, government has shown its commitment to “unlock the potential of SMMEs, cooperatives, township and rural enterprises” in an effort to ensure that the goal of radical economic transformation is achieved The DSBD is at the forefront of leading and coordinating the concerted effort to advance the development of small businesses 13

However, the tough economic conditions over the past financial year, which had a dampening effect on demand, could not allow sefa to sustain such a momentum. Hence, the slight ease in disbursements to R1.1 billion.

47 SEFA – Success Stories 47 Bathati Cash Loans cc (hereafter “Bathati”) is an incorporated close corporation with registration number 2006/003433/23. Bathati is 100% black female owned which initially focused on property. Ms Basetsana Motsumi the owner of Bathati later identified an opportunity in the food industry and specifically identified a franchise opportunity with Captain Dorego Franchise, a part of the spur group, as a viable opportunity to pursue. Bathati approached sefa for start-up funding for the franchise. Bathati’s application was approved on the 04 th of March 2014 for R812 278. With this funding, Bathati secured the Captain Dorego Franchise and commenced operations on the 01 st August 2014. Since commencement of operations management has been doing their best to ensure that all operations run smoothly and that staff are fully catered for and prepared in terms of their job descriptions. Just like any start-up business, Bathati had it’s own initially challenges including, but not limited to, staff selection and staff turnover, stock management, financial and cash flow management. Sefa appointed a mentor to assist the business. Since then, the business has seen steady improvements in the overall performance of the store. With steady quarter on quarter financial performance, they’ve had some good performance periods and some where they missed target by 10% or less but that has not negatively impacted the overall profitability of the business. The store was also awarded the best Captain Dorego Franchise store for 2015. Key information Location:Moruleng (NW) Job creation:10 Funding amount:R812 278 Sector:Franchise Bathati Cash Loans cc
