President Cyril Ramaphosa has urged all South Africans to become part of the Buy Local movement, as it is vital to the country’s economic growth and creating new jobs.
Ramaphosa delivered the keynote address at the 9th annual Proudly South African Buy Local Summit & Expo, which is being held virtually this year.
The President says buying local must become a priority for everyone, including business, government and individuals.
The President says Local must become Lekker for everyone!
It is lekker for consumers, for businesses, for jobs, for inclusive prosperity and for our future. I would like this to be a large phenomenal movement. Each one of us can contribute to economic growth by buying local and supporting our SMMEs.#BuyLocal 🇿🇦 https://t.co/w5GlFfDC2Q
