Under the theme "Developing Entrepreneurial Skills: Lessons from Experienced Business Owners," the Department of Economic Development, Tourism, and Environmental Affairs, together with its Public Entities, is participating in the SMME/Business Fair and Expo today at Sibusisiwe Hall, Mandeni Local Municipality.

The aim of this engagement is to provide a platform for Small, Medium, and Micro Enterprises (SMMEs) to access valuable knowledge, opportunities, and support to help them grow and become sustainable. Through interactive exhibitions, business mentorship, and knowledge-sharing sessions, aspiring and existing entrepreneurs will have the opportunity to learn directly from experienced business owners, access information on available government support programs, and network with key stakeholders.

This initiative reflects the Department’s commitment to strengthening the SMME sector, promoting entrepreneurship, and driving inclusive economic development in the region.
