Why Is This Important?  

The Battle Between Big Chain Stores And The Local Economy Is A Critical Element In Rural  South Africa. While Big Chain Stores Bring Some Jobs, Some Healthcare, And Hundreds Of Thousands Of Retail Goods To Rural Communities With Low Populations, The Net Effect Is Another “Giant Sucking Sound” Of Money Out Of The Local Economy.

It’s The Big Chain Stores That Bring Foreign Goods To The Shelves In Our Neighborhoods And Exports Our Cash To Sustain Foreign Manufacturing Operations. We Need To Reverse That Trend And Grow Our Local Small Businesses, Support Them, Encourage Them ,Build Them ,Finance Them ,Guide Them ,Which In-Turn Will Grow Our Economy

As A Country And Eventually As A Continent.

The Greatest Job Creators In  South Africa Are The Small Businesses And Single Proprietorships We Frequent Every Day. Our Support Of Local Grocery Stores, Dry Cleaners, Barbershops, Retail Stores, And Hundreds Of Other Local Businesses Drives Our Local Job Market. Even More So  In  Rural Areas. Many Small Manufacturing Businesses Contribute To South Africa's Export Volume. While The Largest Employee-Count Companies Have The Lion’s Share Of Export  Volume Today, The Small Business Export Percent Is Predicted To Increase By 2026 From 32% To Almost 50%! This Is Great News For  Small Businesses
