The Western Cape Government, through its Department of Economic Development and Tourism, invites Business Support Organisations (BSOs) to apply for support through the Compliance Enhancement Programme (CEP). The programme aims to strengthen and enhance the capacity of organisations that support micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), enabling them to deliver targeted compliance support and interventions that improve the sustainability, competitiveness, and growth of the businesses they serve.

Through this initiative, eligible organisations can access assistance to enhance the programmes that help MSMEs improve their compliance with relevant regulatory requirements, enhance business sustainability, and position themselves for growth opportunities. We believe that Business Support Organisations play a critical role in building a more resilient and competitive MSME ecosystem. By partnering with organisations that have established relationships with businesses on the ground, the programme aims to extend the reach and impact of compliance support across the Western Cape.

We encourage your organisation to review the programme details at Compliance Enhancement Programme | Western Cape Government and submit an application. For more information, eligibility requirements, and application details, please click on the link below.

We would also appreciate it if you could share this opportunity with other Business Support Organisations within your network that may be interested in supporting MSMEs through the programme.

Thank you for your continued contribution to enterprise development and economic growth in the Western Cape.

George Munisipaliteit is tans besig met padskraap- en instandhoudingswerk in Uniondale.

Daar is opgemerk dat kinders voor en agter die padskraper hardloop terwyl dit in werking is. Dit is uiters gevaarlik en stel hul lewens in ernstige gevaar.

Ouers en voogde word dringend versoek om met hul kinders te praat en te verseker dat hulle te alle tye ‘n veilige afstand van alle padwerktoerusting hou. Alhoewel die operateur van die padskraper voortdurend waaksaam is, veroorsaak die grootte van die masjien blindekolle, wat beteken dat dit nie moontlik is om te alle tye alles rondom die voertuig te sien nie.

Die veiligheid van ons gemeenskap is ‘n gedeelde verantwoordelikheid. Help ons asseblief om ‘n tragedie te voorkom deur seker te maak dat kinders nie padwerkmasjinerie nader of agtervolg terwyl werk aan die gang is nie.

Children Asked to Keep Clear of Road Grader Operations

George Municipality is currently carrying out road scraping and maintenance work in Uniondale.

It has been observed that children are running in front of and behind the road grader while it is operating. This is extremely dangerous and places their lives at serious risk.

Parents and guardians are urgently requested to speak to their children and ensure they keep well away from all road maintenance equipment. Although the grader operator remains vigilant at all times, the size of the machine creates blind spots, making it impossible to see in every direction continuously.

The safety of our community is a shared responsibility. Please help us prevent a tragedy by ensuring children do not approach or follow road construction and maintenance vehicles while work is in progress.

Every great adventure starts somewhere. Sometimes it’s with a paper map spread across the kitchen table. Sometimes it’s with someone saying, “Let’s take the long way today.”

Drive over the mountain to Herold. Wander the streets of Uniondale. Enjoy a beach walk in Wilderness or discover a new corner of George. Stop at a farm stall, order dessert, and take in the view. There’s no rush.

Pop into one of our Visitor Information Centres to collect a free map.

📍 Wilderness – 198 George Road

Adventure is closer than you think.
