In light of Africa Day on the 25 May, more South African small and medium enterprise (SME) owners should be encouraged to look at how they could expand their operations into the rest of the continent.
This is according to Mark Paper, chief operating officer at Business Partners International, who says that Africa has for long been regarded as a region with untapped economic opportunity.
“The African Development Bank reports that the economic growth in Africa is set to accelerate to 4.1% over the course of 2018 and 2019, which can potentially yield benefits for SMEs.”
