FOREWORD BY THE MINISTER
3 SEDA | ANNUAL REPORT
The potential of small enterprises and cooperatives in South Africa continues to gain prominence, despite the country’sconstrained economic outlook. This growing stature is because of a number of reasons. Two of these are the collectiveviewoftheprivateandpublicsectorsthatsmallenterprisesholdthekeytoaddressingourcountry’seconomicchallenges,and small enterprisesmaking ameaningful contribution to the country’s revenue during the last tax collection period.
President Jacob Zuma, in his 2016 State of the Nation Address highlighted need for the country to empower smallenterprisesandcooperativestoimprove,amongotherthings,thesuccessrateatstartupstage.Inthe2017StateoftheNationAddress,theimportanceofsmallenterpriseswasagainhighlightedwhenhementionedthemaskeytothecountry’sNine-PointPlan.TheDSBDfullyunderstandsthemulti-facetednatureofitsmandateespeciallythatofaddressingsocioeconomicexclusion patterns and at the same time creatingmuch needed jobs. The current socio economic environment doesn’tallowforprioritisationofcertainmandates,theDSBSanditsagenciesthereforehaveanoneroustaskontheirshoulders.
Implementation of the recommendations from the programme review exercise that was undertaken by the DSBDand its agencies during the 2015/16 financial year is beginning to and will continue to improve the effectiveness ofthe DSBD and its agencies. One area that will receive focus going forward is the coordination of research, monitoringand evaluation. As the department responsible for implementing government’s mandate for developing smallenterprises and cooperatives; we will be spearheading the development of a comprehensive SMME database. Thiswill allow us to develop policies from a well-informed viewpoint and develop business intelligence on the sector. Anumber of programmeswill bemigrated to the implementing agencies of the DSBD during the 2018/19 financial year.

SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS
Macro-Economic factors and Trends While growth in advanced economies is being driven by an upbeat Europe, Japan and Canada, with the United Statesoutlook more subdued, there are positive signs of a strong economic pickup in emerging and developing economies,with China remaining resilient at 6.7% forecast growth and India’s growth expected to rise from 7.2% in 2017 to 7.7%in2018.BrazilandRussia, twoofSouthAfrica’sotherBRICSpartners,areexpectedtoexit theirrespectiverecessions in2017.Off a lowgrowth rate of 1.4% in 2016, growthmomentum in sub-SaharanAfrica remains fragile,with a projectedgrowth rate of 2.6% in 2017 and 3.5% in 2018. The growth, however, is barely positive territory in per capita terms forthe region as awhole and remains negative for about a third of the countries in the region. The slight upward revisionto the 2017 growth forecast is mainly due to a recovery in oil production in Nigeria, higher public spending ahead ofelections in Angola and a modest upgrading of growth prospects for South Africa, which is experiencing a bumpercrop, due to better rainfall and an increase in mining output prompted by a moderate rebound in commodity prices.
However,theoutlookforSouthAfricaremainsdifficult.ContinuedloweconomicgrowthandfollowingtwoconsecutivequartersofnegativeGDPgrowth(acontractionof0.4%inthe4thquarterof2016andafurther0.7%inthe1stquarterof2017)hasresultedinSouthAfricaslippingintorecession.Inthe1stquarterof2017;bothsecondaryandtertiarysectorsrecordedanegativegrowth.Thetradeandmanufacturingindustrieswerethemajorheavyweightsthatstifledproduction,withtradefallingby5.9%,andmanufacturingby3.7%.Thelasttimethetertiarysectorexperiencednegativegrowthwasinthesecondquarterof2009.Onthepositiveside,theagricultureandminingindustriesbothcontributedpositivelytogrowthinthefirstquarter,butnotenoughtoavoidrecession.
South African context The development of SMMEs is critical in view of their size and employment intensity and the objectives of inclusivegrowth. A large share of economic production originates in the SMME sector. The employment intensity of the sectoris even more important. Excluding micro enterprises, the SME sector accounts for more than 40% of total incomeand expenditure of all enterprises in the economy (in turn, excluding agriculture, financial intermediation, insuranceservices and government institutions). A further perspective is gained, taking into account thatmore than two thirds oftheSASMMEsectoroperate in the informalsector.Byanymeasure, theSMMEsector is important in theSAeconomy.
ThereportbyBER(2017firstQuarter)hasemphasisedthatSouthAfricaneconomyenteredatechnicalrecessionasrealGDPcontractedforthesecondconsecutivequarter (0.7%annualised) inthefirstquarterof2017.ThenumberofSMMEsinSouthAfrica(SA)increasedby11.2%year-on-year(y-o-y)from2.23millionin2016Q1to2.48millionin2017Q1.Overthesameperiod,thenumberofformalsectorSMMEsincreasedby11.6%,whileinformalsectorSMMEsincreasedby11.7%.Some of the growth in SMMEs may reflect survivalist operations resulting from the dire formal economic conditions.
• Total employment provided by SMMEs increased by 5.6% between 2016Q1 and 2017Q1 to 10.6 million.• TheSMEshareinthetotalturnoverofallenterprises#1expandedabove40%forthefirsttimeonrecordduring2016.
• The number of employed people in SA increased by 144 000 during 2017Q1, to reach a total of 16.212 million.
This is an increase of 0.9% quarter-on-quarter (q-o-q). However, an additional 577 000 people joined the labour
force over the same period, resulting in the unemployment rate increasing from 26.5% in 2016Q4 to 27.7% in the
first quarter of 2017 - the highest unemployment rate in 14 years. The agricultural sector shed the most jobs.

Small businesses have not only to contend with pressure on their selling price margins as sales dwindle, but also
have to navigate financial turbulence and the resulting cost pressures. SMMEs account for 65% of employment
in South Africa. SMMEs navigate the challenging conditions with substantially less resources compared to bigger
corporates. In this context, the potential of SMMEs and Cooperatives in South Africa continues to gain prominence,
and there has been a growing awareness of the significant role that SMMEs and Cooperatives can play in economic
growth and transformation in South Africa; and that small businesses have a greater capacity to turn the economy
around than big businesses, and play an important role as key drivers of economic growth and job creation.

scorecard perspectives and strategic objectives. The strategicmap for the organisation has been reorganised to amplify
those strategic objectiveswhich aremore geared to the service of SMME’s andCooperatives. Other strategic objectives

17.1. PROJECTIONS OF REVENUE, EXPENDITURE AND BORROWINGS
The table below details Seda’s budget for the three year planning cycle as per the MTEF allocation. Seda’s MTEF
allocation increased with R118,5 million from 2016/17 to 2017/18. The MTEF budget allocation has been reduced
by R123 million which is 5% from 2018/19 to 2020/21. The budget reduction has been incorporated in the
tables below. A number of strategic initiatives that had to be scaled down or postponed in previous financial
years such as incubation expansion, the one municipality one product (OMOP) programme, and promotion
of Seda’s interventions in the key growth sectors will be delayed or postponed due to limited resources.
Mostofthefixedcostslikeofficerental,goodsandservicesincreasewithratesthataremostlyabovetherateofinflation,
meanwhiletheallocatedbudgetamountsareincreasingatminimalratesthatarebelowtherateof inflation.Thisresults
in the amount available for programmes and projects being reduced accordingly as the total budget amount is limited.
Seda has also experience reduced funding from partner organisations. Commitments have beenmade to service small
enterprises and cooperatives in these areas, and Seda cannot close these service centres down due to reputational
consequences.Sedaisaserviceorganisationandassuch,needstoallocateadequatefundstothecompensationofemployees.
