- Description: Abstract: South Africa’s successive post 1994 administration made concerted efforts to address the inequalities and the prevailing high level of unemployment that arose from the apartheid regime. One of the efforts was an approach aimed to promote the development of small businesses which suggests an understanding of the importance of SMEs to the economy as small businesses have been globally recognised as an important part of a solution to high levels of unemployment. However, existing literature illustrates that there are more closures of small businesses than formations in South Africa. This also applies to Nigerian immigrant businesses’ which are predominantly small businesses in Johannesburg CBD. However, there appears to be limited research which aims to ascertain the causes of these failures in Johannesburg CBD. Consequently, this research project seeks to examine the challenges faced by Nigerian immigrant small businesses’ in Johannesburg CBD... , M.Com. (Local Economic Development)

- Description: Abstract: The frustration experienced by immigrants attempting to integrate into a host society forces many foreigners into small businesses. Foreign nationals’ small businesses have emerged as attempts by some foreigners to be exonerated from the accusation that foreigners contribute to economic woes of South Africans by increasing the unemployment rate, “taking our jobs”, putting pressure on scarce resources and providing cheap, low-skilled labour. As a result, an increasing number of foreign-owned small businesses in South Africa operate in difficult business terrain, compounded by socio-political and economic problems. An investigation of the survival of foreign nationals’ small businesses is therefore imperative, especially in the Johannesburg Central Business District, since Johannesburg is the economic hub of Gauteng and of South Africa as a whole... , M.Com.
