The committee took a decision towards the end of 2010, when it was developing a programme for the first quarter of 2011, to undertake a local oversight trip to Khayelitsha, Gugulethu and Kwa-Langa tourism establishments. A key focus of the visit was to assess the challenges faced by the township SMMEs and to formulate a way forward to assist in the constraints faced by the sector within a context of economic development, job creation and poverty alleviation.
