Chair, I will be brief. The economy needs small business development. In fact, small businesses are what keep local economies in South Africa alive and contribute to job-creation. However, South Africa does not need a Department of Small Business Development. We have seen very little of the promised development of all small businesses and co- operatives that contribute to inclusive economic growth and job-creation. In fact, we have only seen more jobs given within government, which the state cannot afford. As long as the ANC policies are aimed at only creating jobs in government, small businesses will not develop.
