"As an empowerment-driven organisation, the CDC is
conscious of the important role that the small business
sector plays in unlocking economic growth in Nelson
Mandela Bay and South Africa. Our dedicated SMME Unit
was specifically established to support SMMEs, in line
with our vision to be a catalyst for championing
socio-economic development," says Dr Ayanda Vilakazi,
Head of Marketing and Communications at CDC.
The contracts to SMMEs from the Nelson Mandela Bay metro
were awarded over a time period of 12 months and include
three projects, namely CCA Fencing, MM Engineering and
Custom Control Area - building in zone one. The
construction work on these projects includes brickwork,
electrical, structural steel, civil works and
