Female entrepreneurs in South Africa continue to be at the margins of the mainstream economy, with only less than 20 percent female-owned businesses receiving the requisite support to succeed.
The Commission for Gender Equality (CGE) yesterday expressed concern over the lack of financial support for female entrepreneurs and female-owned businesses.
A recent study by the CGE found that female empowerment programmes were characterised by varying degrees of poor administration and mismanagement.
CGE deputy commissioner Dr Nthabiseng Moleko yesterday said that this left scores of female entrepreneurs out of opportunities.
