In commemoration of the second anniversary of the Government of National Unity (GNU) – formed in June 2024 – the Small Business Institute (SBI) has commissioned a think-piece from Septi Bukula, an expert on matters affecting small, medium-sized and microenterprises (SMMEs) in South Africa and the rest of Africa. The SBI notes that Bukula has worked extensively in the SMME ecosystem advising governments and international agencies.
