Mike Anderson, founder and CEO of the NSBC says the continued success of the awards is a testament to how important small business is to the South African economy. “The crucial role that small businesses play in job creation, poverty alleviation, service delivery, and wealth creation cannot be underestimated. Each recipient of the South African Small Business Awards demonstrates the immense entrepreneurial spirit, commitment and many hours of hard work,” he adds.
Hosted by the NSBC and World Famous Events, the South African Small Business Awards pay tribute to the contribution that small businesses make in building communities and creating employment, all while providing top quality goods and services to their customers.

Winning an award is the ultimate recognition for every business owner and entrepreneur. It’s the springboard to personal and business success,” says Anderson.
