It is always inspiring to see the innovation, creativity, and problem-solving ability of our youth, who are already building solutions for real challenges in our communities and economy.

This afternoon, I joined Huawei at the #Code4Mzansi Finals to engage with and address some of South Africa’s most promising young developers. #Code4Mzansi #DSBDatWork

Following the DSBD Post Budget Vote engagement, we now join Huawei to deliver a keynote address at the Code4Mzansi Finals, Huawei Developer Competition. #Code4Mzansi #DSBDatWork

Following the tabling of the DSBD 2026/27 Budget Vote, today I engaged with media and stakeholders on our priorities to strengthen support for MSMEs and co-operatives. #DSBDatWork

We commenced the day with the Portfolio Committee on Small Business Development currently meeting in Parliament, where I am leading the Department and SEDFA executive team in briefing the Committee on the Department’s Annual Performance Plans. #DSBDatWork

At the DSBD Budget Vote, MSMEs and entrepreneurs were present in the gallery, many of whom are SEDFA beneficiaries. Their presence reflects the real impact of government support businesses that are growing, creating jobs, and contributing to inclusive economic transformation.

The third priority is expanding market access for MSMEs and co-operatives. This priority focuses on breaking market barriers and increasing participation of small businesses in domestic and international value chains. #DSBDatWork

The second priority for the DSBD 2026/27 Budget Vote is building the township and rural economy. This priority focuses on supporting entrepreneurs in townships and rural areas through expanded access to finance, infrastructure, and development programmes. #DSBDatWork

The 1st priority for the DSBD 2026/27 Budget Vote is to reduce red tape and improve the ease of doing business. We will introduce a one-stop shop digital platform for business licensing, continue key legislative reforms affecting MSMEs, and advance the Business Licensing Bill.

MSMEs remain at the heart of transformation, job creation, and economic participation as we continue building an inclusive and resilient economy for all South Africans.

As we mark 50 years since the 1976 Soweto Uprising, 70 years of the Women’s March, and 30 years of our Constitution, we are reminded that political freedom must translate into economic freedom for all. #DSBDatWork

Our priorities remain clear: reducing red tape, expanding support for township and rural businesses, improving access to finance, growing market access, and creating more opportunities for women, youth, and small businesses across South Africa.

Today, I delivered the Department of Small Business Development’s 2026/27 Budget Vote, tabling a R3.036 billion budget focused on advancing economic transformation through small enterprise development. #DSBDBudgetVote2026

Tomorrow I will deliver DSBD 2026/2027 Financial Year Budget Vote. The Budget Vote sets out how DSBD will spend its budget to support small businesses, grow entrepreneurship, and create jobs in the 2026/2027 financial year. #DSBDBudgetVote2026
