Unhappy south african
I don't know were to start because what I experienced is so painful and it's a torture. The system of the government saying we must do everything online it's a disadvantage. Look online stuff need data or internet caffe, laptop to proceed with the online application. With what money are we supposed to get all those things first of all. Right last year I completed the online application under tourism equity fund then after some time I made a call making a follow up on the completed application but it was a disaster when the consultant explained to me that that program is no longer in use. My worry was my data my waste of quotations requesting them to resend the applications. Then later be told that is not in use. This online application closed doors for us south africans indeed. After explaining to the consultant what I would love to implement then the consultant directed me to the other program which is general retail which is were I'll be requesting a loan not a grant. My other concern is why when we are looking for funding or loan, the system will ask for lease agreement of which with whom I don't know quotations of which it's difficult to get them. So it's not fare for us south Africans to go through this at all. So now I feel like the application it is difficult to complete because it is looking for lease agreement as if im going to get funding or loan and also what is bothering me is that as a south african person you'll be making quotations as if I'll get fruitful results. I'm not happy about the way sedfa or Seda or sefa handle the programs and it's unfair. Title deed or lease agreement even the compliance certificate from the municipality takes time to get them and I wonder why can't they handle all those things because I'm bringing my skills my mind on the table and I don't know why are we supposed to struggle as south Africans to be given an opportunity to show our talent. Lots and lots of foreigners are showing us and other countries that we as south Africans can't make it. No man this is unfair leeu medupe from Bloemfontein ***
