South Africa and Liberia signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) yesterday (Wednesday), creating a legal framework to improve trade and economic relations between the two countries.
The Liberian delegation was hosted by the deputy minister of small business development, Elizabeth Thabethe, in Pretoria. Liberia’s delegation was led by Deputy Minister of Commerce and Trade responsible for Small Business and Administration, Andrew G. Paygar-Flangiah, while Thabethe was supported by the Department of Trade and Industry as well as the Small Enterprise Development Agency (Seda).
The Liberian delegation is in the country for about a week conducting a study tour on small business development with particular interest in Seda’s incubation support programme, including pre- and post-support.
This tour will include visits to selected Seda incubation centres in Gauteng, Mpumalanga and the North West province.
