The Black Business Federation (BBF) says the delay in finalising the Government of National Unity (GNU) poses a significant economic risk for black businesses.
Ten days have lapsed since President Cyril Ramaphosa was inaugurated for a second term, and the new Cabinet that forms the GNU has yet to be announced.
The Federation says in a statement that the public e xchange of letters between the DA and the ANC is also adding to investor uncertainty .
The BBF has further urged President Cyril Ramaphosa to appoint visionaries to the ministries of Trade and Industry and Small Business.
The Federation says the current uncertainty poses a risk, particularly to black South Africans, many of whom rely on small businesses for their livelihoods.
