The Western Cape government is committed to making the province the most businessfriendly in South Africa. In line with this goal, the government has recently launched the Municipal Red Tape Reduction Challenge Fund for the 2023/24 fiscal year. Spearheaded by Mireille Wenger, the Western Cape MEC for Finance and Economic Opportunities, the fund aims to remove barriers to business operations and streamline processes, thus fostering economic growth and creating additional jobs.
The Western Cape Government has made significant strides in reducing bureaucratic red tape, resulting in a notable impact on the province’s economy. The Department of Economic Development and Tourism’s Red Tape Reduction Unit (RTRU) has been instrumental in implementing these initiatives, providing businesses with considerable financial savings and improving the ease of doing business.
