Community and social services

The community and social services market in Limpopo is worth about R15.4 million, which is a decent size for your business to consider. What's interesting is that this market isn't growing or shrinking, with zero year-on-year growth, so you'll need to think strategically about how to get a foothold. With 40 suppliers already in the mix, it's a relatively crowded space, but there's still room for your organisation to make an impact, especially if you can leverage your black-owned, women-owned, or youth-owned status to access a bigger share of the market, given that black-owned businesses already receive about 74.56% of the allocation. To get started, you should analyse the current suppliers and departments involved, such as the five departments that are already active in this space, to identify potential opportunities for your business. Your next step should be to research the specific needs of these departments and tailor your programme to meet those needs, which could help you favourably position your business in this market.
