🔊 Key Takeaways from ABSIP President Polo Leteka at the Transformation Fund Minister’s Business Breakfast
ABSIP was honoured to attend the Transformation Fund Minister’s Business Breakfast, where our President, Polo Leteka, delivered a powerful and thought-provoking address. Her message centred on how the Transformation Fund can be a true catalyst for inclusive and sustainable economic change.
Here are the five key takeaways from her remarks:
1️⃣ Access to Funding is Critical
It’s not enough to have a fund in place—real transformation happens when access is equitable. We must remove the barriers that prevent black businesses and entrepreneurs from reaching capital.
2️⃣ Post-Funding Support is Non-Negotiable
Funding is just the starting point. Mentorship, market access, and capacity building are vital to ensure that businesses grow, scale, and succeed.
3️⃣ Build a Funding-Ready Pipeline
Transformation requires a strong ecosystem of prepared entrepreneurs. That means investing in early-stage support to develop enterprises that can effectively absorb funding and deliver impact.
4️⃣ Prioritise Research, Development & Reskilling
Innovation isn't a luxury—it's a necessity. As industries evolve, we must commit to reskilling and upskilling our people to remain competitive and empowered.
5️⃣ Reframe the B-BBEE Narrative
B-BBEE isn’t just a compliance tool—it represents the 'S' in ESG and reflects our commitment to social responsibility. Let’s lead the conversation and position it as a global standard for inclusive growth.
ABSIP continues to champion bold ideas and real action toward economic inclusion and transformation. Stay engaged—there’s more to come.
