The president says he sees the initiative as an ecosystem which was broader than just getting funders.
President Cyril Ramaphosa on Thursday described the SA SME Fund as a “festival” of people that have come together to create value and also to address the problem of joblessness the country was facing.
Ramaphosa said in that regard the government had been assisted by BLSA chairperson Dr Jabu A Mabuza, SA SME Fund CEO Ketso Gordhan, Business Leadership SA CEO Bonang Mohale, BLSA COO Busisiwe Mavuso, and SA SME Fund chairperson, Adrian Gore. Ramaphosa said he saw the initiative as an ecosystem which was broader than just getting funders. He said this was an ecosystem that brought together those entities that would create the necessary impact process.
