CA1st Manifesto: Encouraging Entrepreneurism

CA1st Movement undertakes to focus on encouraging entrepreneurism in Cape Town.

  • The CA1st will make it easier for entrepreneurs and business owners to operate businesses within the City of Cape Town in order to address the spiralling youth unemployment rate and make it easier for families and informal traders to earn a living.
  • We believe in a blended and integrated economic model, where entrepreneurs as well as established businesses, and large, small, medium and micro enterprises can all share trading spaces with the ultimate goal of making Cape Town a vibrant trading hub for all and where formal and informal economies have equitable market share and share in the revenue streams, that will result in stronger local communities.
  • We want to create the opportunities for supply chains to emanate from diverse local sources, believing that we have sufficient capacity to use local resourcefulness as supply chains for the Cape Town economy. We want both government and the private sector to use local supply chains for their requirements.
