THE SOUTH AFRICAN GOVERNMENT IS NOT PAYING SMALL BUSINESSES!

[@Chucky123-s7u]

Zimasa this is devastating for people who have done work and not getting paid. Terrible.

[@wade2033]

That’s WILD. Imagine when NHI comes into effect 💀

[@siphiwengcobo3284]

This is embarrasing. How do we argue against privatisation when our government exhibits such incompetence? Actually the line between incompetence and corruption at this point is so blurry we can't tell the difference.

[@AndrewMcFarlane_1]

Doesnt matter whether its private or public... both suffer from a common pitfall... greed..

[@mthunzimapatwana]

by holding governments accountable a service which the EFF has been doing for South Africa but has been grossly underappreciated. Of course we have things like bargaining councils as well.

You have pay for Cool Drink before your invoice can be paid or be an ANC member

[@Idknow-wave]

Please do a video analysis on PRASA and the the work they’re doing to revive the rail system. The good, the bad and overall outlook for consumers. Would love to hear your analysis on the work going on there

[@mooshtaffa]

It’s definitely on the cards 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🔥

[@GK222_]

Getting a government contract in and of itself is a miracle. Thanks so much for this useful info

[@Tshegofatso......]

I just read an article about how the government isn't even paying TV licenses let alone small businesses.

[@jjhbk5832]

This is a serious problem that businesses are facing. My Uncles farm had a similar problem with his farm. Long story short, it left his farm in financial ruin. This government continues to fail us

[@leratokganyago9192]

This year, it's worse. My clients have been complaining, esp from Departments ........municipalities are better

[@mooshtaffa]

Really, where are you based, provincially?

[@njshabangu]

If there are 300,000 plus violations of the National Treasury’s regulations, why hasn’t anyone sued the government? Is it even possible to do so and what are the barriers that stop suppliers from taking things to court.

[@XolaThaboMasuku]

More than a year! It was the last time I worked with government, it's impossible to build anything.

[@thiagosihla9827]

Something is seriously wrong with the comrades in those critical procument positions in the E.Cape it is so unfortunate because that has so much potential and untapped industries.

[@Chucky123-s7u]

A civil engineer woman who has done excellent social housing building in jhb has not been pd by government for at least 3 milj. Small business woman owned. Because of that 4 people who worked for her have been retrenched. Those 4 people had families who were dependent on those incomes.

[@IngenuityDevelopments]

The private sector is the best when it comes to payments

[@MuzorewaRatshikuni]

That is not true. Private sector is actually worse. My business supplied Bidvest Car Rental with supplies. Bidvest never before 45 days. The usual period was 60 days.

[@IngenuityDevelopments]

@MuzorewaRatshikuni well my business supplies private hospitals and private developers, I used to supply with human settlement with services, trust me, you don't want to go there

[@xolanimlangeni1923]

8:45 - I could feel that "f#@k all" 😭

[@mooshtaffa]

I really wanted to land it… small business are tired

[@xolanimlangeni1923]

@@mooshtaffa Facts bro. I recall this happening to my dad while I was in highschool. Creditors were on his neck because he was owed money. Great video by the way 👌😎

[@garyt5606]

Pay the government late and see what happens

[@kurhula]

and these service providers or small business are expected to provide top services, no wonder so many cut corners!

[@DigsWigs2022]

Great analysis, mfanakithi. Well done. It seems to me that there is one more square root to perform on this problem to get to the root cause. I think there is a break in approval chain of payments. Could be something as simple as an approver is on sick leave? Perhaps simply improving approval systems and IT workflows could lubricate the engine. Imagine if a system of submitting invoices fails fast if the invoice is missing some relevant data. If data is complete, workflow is automated. With escalations at each stage.

[@mooshtaffa]

Yazi this is interesting take. What is the gov payment system IT flow ?

[@mapokoholdings5301]

Am owed by 60 schools. And they department doesn't wanna give them their grants

[@TANBLINGKAN]

As much as this is a gov case, same goes with some pty whose policy is 30 day statement after delivery of service or goods.

[@ZKhweziN]

Those are PAYMENT TERMS and NOT late payment. It's not the same thing. Pick n Pay for example pays after 90 days. That doesn't mean they pay late.

[@theboomletgroup8436]

They still gonna vote for them

[@Pagasus]

Government is bad but the private sector (Especially the Advertising industry) is worse! The standard there is 45days,with some agencies taking up to 90days to pay media owners!

[@TshepoMavimbela]

The money is being chowed 😂 not much is new

[@Thatotherguy803]

True 😢

[@rotteneggconcept]

This is actually not true

[@tonymangion6413]

Steal it pay themselves to hell with business owners is there motto

[@TheMsyZa]

Correctional Services; 8 months SAPS; A litter over 10 months now Half of the value of those invoices owed to suppliers/partners. It's the Wild Wild South 😂

[@baneletwayi8036]

You need to grease hands for your invoice to be paid.

[@letslearnforex5322]

They take 1 week to pay. Longest was 3 weeks for me

[@letslearnforex5322]

It’s all about who you know?
