Episode Synopsis "Episode 2: Implications of COVID-19 on SMME's and the Informal Economy in SA "The Entrepreneur's view""

2020 has been a tricky year, first it was the global economic crisis and then COVID-19. South Africa is in the top 40 countries which are affected by this pandemic. It is no doubt that this has a disproportionate impact on poor households, small and informal businesses. The informal economy in our country and many other African countries play an important role from job creation, productivity to bridging the gap of inequality.
