This report is the most comprehensive study yet of the contribution of migrant
and refugee entrepreneurs to Cape Towns local economy. The survey of over 500
entrepreneurs engaged in trade* services and manufacturing in different areas of
the city dispels some of the more prevalent myths that often attach to the activities
of migrants. The vast majority are not “illegal foreigners” but have a legal right to
be in South Africa and to run a business. Most are highly motivated individuals
who enter the informal economy to earn revenue to support themselves, their
families, and because they have a strong entrepreneurial motivation. Contrary
to the claims of South African competitors, the vast majority are not successful
because they are engaged in shadowy business practices. What emerges from
the survey is that while migrant entrepreneurs undoubtedly have strong social
networks, their businesses are highly individualistic in terms of organization,
ownership and activity in a competitive business environment. This report
demonstrates their positive economic contributions to Cape Town and examines
the challenges they face in running a successful business operation in the city. It
goes beyond the rhetoric of inclusion to demonstrate with hard evidence exactly
why migrant and refugee entrepreneurs should be accepted as an integral and
valuable part of the local economy.
