Zulu's department is also approaching ministers Pandor and Gigaba to propose a R1.5bn fund to support start-ups. The fund will be announced next year, but may only roll out in 2019. @Fin24@TeamNews24#ANCVotes
Zulu speaks on procurement- she says that big companies have locked markets years ago and they can offer govt discounts. Govt needs to then consider whether it should save money or support SMMEs. @Fin24@TeamNews24#ANCVotes
Zulu speaks on the efficiency of one-stop shops in Rwanda, making information easily accessible for those in rural areas. This is a long-term plan for SA, but she explains there is a lot of progress being made through existing systems. @Fin24@TeamNews24#ANCVotes

required for delegates to vote

Zulu now says her department is young- under 4 years. Says there is political will to implement policies, but there are challenges in the system preventing implementation. @Fin24@TeamNews24#ANCVotes#ANC54
Q&A time- one small business owner questions the inaccessibility to funding and limited support from big businesses, like MultiChoice. (Flies in the face of that MultiChoice promo video they played earlier) @TeamNews24@Fin24#ANCVotes#ANC54
The African National Congress, the celebrated political force that led
the struggle against apartheid rule and ushered in democracy, has begun
electing a new leader - but it faces a perilous future.
Zulu says she now has a fully fledged department with systems in place to serve SMMEs. (She's been criticised by former finance ministers Gordhan and Manuel before.) @Fin24@TeamNews24#ANCVotes
Cde #Zulu says support for SMMEs cannot just come from govt but also from big business through efforts of opening up supply chains to small businesses #PBFBreakfast#ANC54
Down to the wire: Ramaphosa's and Dlamini-Zuma's last push
ANC delegates to the party's national
conference at Nasrec have two stark choices in front of them: CR17's
team, or NDZ's offering. They ain't the same.
Cde #Zulu: I am honoured to have been deployed to lead this challenging mandate: A mandate whose support for small, medium, micro and cooperative enterprises should, according to the National Development Plan. #ANC54#PBFBreakfast
#ANCVotes Sangoni says the confusion last night was because the commission suggested voting starts today but delegates refused as conference is the highest decision making body they decided to start at midnight @TeamNews24
#ANCVotes Sangoni says today will be a busy day, Mantashe will speak to the media about the organisational report he delivered. She also says they are trying to get Zweli Mkhize to speak to the media @TeamNews24
#ANCVotes Sangoni: counting still happening manually, I think we are some way off from electronic voting. Decision made in Polokwane for us to retain manual voting @TeamNews24
Zulu: SA is a developmental State. if we miss that point we will develop interventions that do not necessarily speak to that. @Fin24@TeamNews24#ANCVotes
Lindiwe Zulu says there will be a big announcement next year about the support small and medium enterprises and entrepreneurs will be receiving from the EU. @Fin24@MyNews24#ANCVotes
