Township economies in South Africa are experiencing notable business growth, with small and medium enterprises (SMEs) playing a critical role. Recent statistics indicate that township-based SMEs contribute significantly to the country’s GDP, generating billions in revenue annually and providing employment opportunities for millions.

This growth underscores the potential of township economies to be major contributors to South Africa’s overall economic development.
