'n Struktuuranalise van Swart sakeondernemings in die Republiek van Suid-Afrika

Abstract

A structure-analysis of Black business enterprise in the Republic of South Africa
The present situation in South Africa is such that a sophisticated and developed economy and a totally unsophisticated and undeveloped economy exist side by side. In this context the role of entrepreneurs or employers is mainly fulfilled by Whites and the role of employees by Blacks. Reasons for this are, among others, the political historical development in South Africa and the fact that the independent entrepreneur was not part of the Black man's traditional structure. In this context the position of the Black entrepreneur in the Republic of South Africa (excluding independent and national states) is referred to. In particular, attention is given to the development of Black business enterprise in Black residential areas, the physical structure of Black residential areas, the structure of formal Black business enterprise, the informal sector as an important part of the small business sector in Black residential areas, purchasing behaviour of Black consumers, existing purchasing facilities in Black residential areas and the need for certain other purchasing facilities in Black residential areas.
