South Africa: State Hatches New Small Business Plan

I heard a long and interesting report on development in Africa on the BBC world business program last night. The commentator made the argument that significant strides have been made in a large percentage of African countries. I'm wondering if some African countries could amount to the next Russia, with the rich natural resources required for rapid development with strong finances. Time to look for a new fund?

Trade and Industry Minister Mandisi Mpahlwa has called for greater policy and institutional co-ordination in small business promotion activities and said an integrated service delivery model for small business would be presented at the cabinet's January meeting.
