Entrepreneurship rises in South Africa

According to experts at Global Entrepreneurship Monitor, South Africa has seen encouraging signs of increased entrepreneurial activity as the country recovers from COVID-19's economic impact. Early-stage entrepreneurial activity rose to 17.5% in 2021, up from 10.8% in 2019, with more South Africans viewing entrepreneurship as a good career choice.

With South Africa's high unemployment rates, many people are turning to start their own businesses instead of seeking traditional employment. TikTok content creators like @bizlinkafrica provide valuable information on where people can source supplies for the businesses they want to start, making entrepreneurship more accessible to ordinary South Africans.
