Inflation's surge in South Africa has led to a significant spike in debt costs, hindering access to financing for numerous Small Medium and Micro Enterprises, SMMEs. This poses a significant challenge in the country, where approximately thirty-four percent of the total GDP is contributed by the small business sector. Acknowledging this issue, the South African National Parks, SANParks and Sanlam have united to introduce a funding and support program specifically targeted at SMMEs operating within Kruger National Park, with implementation overseen by 'I Am An Entrepreneur'.
