INTRODUCTIONA passion often is described as a strong desire of wanting to do something. It can be a strong and unyielding desire to always spending most of your spare time to grow a variety flowers in your garden or maybe to tend your multi variety vegetable or mini fruit backyard orchard. Perhaps your passion is cooking African cuisine and always inviting friends and extended family members to

The following article is aimed at encouraging individuals to act on their idea(s) by turning them into a business venture. It is coupled to future articles that will discuss how to turn one’s *passion, *dreams and one’s *talent by starting a profitable venture to help solve the lack of entrepreneurship and employment in our communities. And perhaps to offer solutions to the myriads of problems we

Entrepreneurship in South Africa is tinged with the ideology of classifying the ability of individuals with the pigmentation of one's skin color. Blacks have for centuries been regarded as drawers of water and hewer of wood and only to occupy designated occupations. And, white supremacist propaganda stated that blacks were not attuned to understanding the complexities of business. The spread of

According to Smuts (1986: 10) the concept of entrepreneurship is alien in the traditional Bantu society and to the African culture in general. The introduction of business activities in Black society came about as a result of contact with Western culture. McMarthy (1998: 429) opines that because indigenous entrepreneurial classes and a dynamic private sector did not exist, and also since

The above discussion established that South Africa has a very low enterprise density. Only 2 per cent of the South African population are entrepreneurs as compared to an average of 10 per cent elsewhere in the world (Ntsika, 1997). In comparison with a selected sample of the developing economies particularly that of three neighbouring states of Southern Africa, namely Lesotho, Swaziland and

It is not uncommon to read from Eurocentric authors that the concept of entrepreneurship is alien in the traditional Bantu society and to the African culture in general. the above-mentioned assumption is based on the demonstrable lack of indigenous entrepreneurial classes and a dynamic private sector that is predominately African. This assumption is also coupled to the overwhelming dependence on

In the last six decades the world's economy has undergone a dramatic change; and in the process we have witnessed phenomenal economic changes. Consequently, massive government intervention through public works programs or extended public works to ubiquitous economic ills, as suggested by the erstwhile economic theorist of the time, John Maynard Keynes (1883-1946), is no longer the preferred
