DSBD must make more funding
available for small businesses
Chairperson, Honourable Members and visitors in the gallery, good
morning, sawobona, goeie more.
In 1994, after years of economic isolation, Anglo American Corporation
controlled 44% of JSE-listed companies and the top five corporates controlled
84%.
Since then the structure of our economy has changed dramatically. But
the concentration of the main economic levers in the hands of a few large
companies remains a concern.
