Bags full of possibilities for job creationJOB creation is often seen as requiring big projects, massive capital outlay or state intervention. Business and government overlook opportunities in the so-called second economy. Instead of pouring money into job creation, why not support and expand existing markets created by the entrepreneurial instincts of poor people? An excellent example of this is the Johannesburg cross-border retail trade sector, where more than half a million people are coming into the city each year to shop, bringing in between R15bn and R20bn a year. Figures from South African Tourism indicate that one third, or R15,7bn, of the total spend by domestic and international tourists in SA in 2004 was in Johannesburg. Of this, R5,7bn, or more than one-third, was from regional shoppers travelling overland to SA. read more.
