The sweetener is a prize of R1m for the small business that has created the most net jobs during the period of the campaign from 1 June 2020 to 31 May 2021.
Here Is What You Need To Know
- The Get South Africa Working campaign is an initiative that was introduced by ProfitShare Partners’ founder and CEO, Andrew Maren to help small and medium sized businesses create jobs and to keep them going, and this has become even more relevant now during these challenging times.

Starting today, 1 June 2020, the Get South Africa Working initiative will be providing up to R10m in capital to SMEs per month to grow by partnering with them on their contracts or valid purchase orders that they have or are trying to get with large corporates and certain Government Departments.
