Abstract
M. Comm.
The SABS is responsible to Council of the SABS. In May 1997, Council expressed in minutes of a meeting, its wish for the SABS top management to make submissions regarding black economic empowerment. Council goes on to point out that the SABS must give visibility to its involvement in this regard (Council, 1997:1).
A small, medium and micro enterprise (SMME) unit has since been set up in 1998, to implement this SMME development strategy. Therefore, the need has arisen to determine how successful the implementation of this strategy has been, thus resulting in the undertaking of this study.
