M. Tech. Business Administration === The annual report issued by Jozini Municipality (2012) for the financial year 2010/2011 shows that the growth and development of small, micro and medium-sized business enterprises is adversely affected by the lack of entrepreneurial skills, lack of access to SETA-accredited skills based training opportunities, poor socioeconomic conditions, and poor infrastructural development. The purpose of the study was to identify and quantify factors that are known to affect entrepreneurial growth and skills development in the Jozini Municipality region of KwaZulu-Natal Province. The study shows the relationship between skills development, service delivery, entrepreneurship and socio economic empowerment in line with alleviation of poverty among the rural population in KwaZulu-Natal.
