The market for software in Mpumalanga is about R7.7 million, which is a decent size. However, it's not growing, with zero year-over-year growth, so you'll need to compete for existing business. It's also a relatively uncrowded space, with only 2 suppliers currently operating in this area, and only 3 government departments to target. Your B-BBEE level will be important here, as about 47% of the allocation is set aside for black-owned businesses. If I were you, I'd focus on building relationships with these 3 departments, such as the Department of Education or Health, to get a foothold in this market.
