The Minister of Small Business Development and the DA shadow minister are at loggerheads regarding the actual amount of money spent to support small businesses during the pandemic.

The Minister of Small Business Development and the DA shadow minister for small business development are at loggerheads after the DA started asking question about small business debt relief.

“Of the 14,451 fully completed applications, Sefa approved 1,497 to the value of R513 million. This means that the funds were fully allocated to 10% of fully completed applications. To date, R316 million of the R513 million has been paid out, which represents close to 62% of the relief scheme.”The money was released in tranches to approved SMMEs to ensure that they were able to provide proof that the money was used for interventions applied for.

Ntshavheni said she had hoped that “all political parties will commit to the partnership for economic recovery instead of some peddling fake news”.In response, the DA called on the minister to provide not only the DA, but the entire country, with a detailed and up-to-date report that lays out exactly how relief funds allocated to SMMEs were spent, as well as “withheld from those both in dire need and deserving of those monies”.
