The NYDA has submitted its comments on the Draft Business Licensing Bill, 2026, advocating for a licensing framework that balances regulation with economic inclusion.

For many young South Africans, entrepreneurship is a pathway to income generation, job creation, and economic participation. Any licensing system must therefore be designed to support, rather than hinder, the growth of youth-owned enterprises.

South Africa's economic future depends on unlocking the potential of its young entrepreneurs.

Policy frameworks must create pathways to opportunity while maintaining effective regulation.
