Black business wants a piece of the Covid-19 vaccine pie

Black business organizations have demanded that the government set aside 40% of the contracts related to the rollout of the Covid-19 vaccine to black owned companies. Health Minister, Zweli Mkhize announced last week that South Africa would be receiving 1.5 million doses of AstraZeneca vaccine between this month and next month. Nafcoc is also making this call… that black entrepreneurs should not be marginalized when it comes to covid-19 vaccine procurement deals, especially in our townships.

In this podcast, DJ Complexion and Mpho Mashita talked to the Nafcoc Acting President, Mr. Gilbert Mosena about the National African Federated Chamber of Commerce about their call for black businesses to also benefit from the Covid-19 vaccine rollout business opportunities.
