Vision, Mission and Purpose

SABEF is the national network of high-impact Small, Medium & Micro Enterprises (SMMEs), Government and Corporates institutions involved in growing a culture of entrepreneurship as a way of achieving faster and better economic development and job creation results.

  • Our Vision - is to create over 50 000 SMMEs per annum by 2020 and provide them with full support in the form of infrastructure, access to finance and mentoring.
  • Our Mission - is to provide a foundation for all stakeholders to jointly build successful SMMEs generating positive economic impact which serve our society through resultant job creation.
  • Our Purpose - is to influence thoughtful change wherever we operate - by bringing together aspiring and established entrepreneurs, funders, venture capitalists, policy-makers, academics and decision-makers from the public and private sectors to develop and implement practical entrepreneurial programmes that will bring ideas to life; drive economic growth; and expand human welfare.


Value Proposition
Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) is South African government's deliberate socio-economic intervention strategy designed to re-address the imbalances of the past and to facilitate the participation of black communities in the mainstream economy. Designed according to the Broad-based BEE Act, the entrepreneurial programs of SABEF facilitates entry of member SMMEs into the mainstream economies, focusing on four critical elements of BEE namely: Ownership, Skills Development, Enterprise Development and Preferential Procurement. 

Our entrepreneurial programs provide SMMEs with operational infrastructure, access to funding and business support that enables them to compete in prominent sectors such as tourism, mining, agro-processing, manufacturing, technology, infrastructure development, power and renewable energy to name but a few.

SABEF strategy aims to grow membership base by at least fifty percent per annum to reach at least one million SMME members by year 2020.



Governance Structure
Under the authority of the Chief Executive, SABEF's  senior leadership is organised as follows:

  • Board of Executives  - contributes to the definition and implementation of the strategic and operational plan and ensures the roll-out of the foundation's entrepreneurial programs.
