South African National Apex Tertiary Cooperative (SANACO), Statement, 16 February 2015 State of the Nation Address by President J.G Zuma The South African National Apex Tertiary Co-operative has taken note of the recent developments announced by the State President on the need to support the development of cooperatives and the SMME sector. The SANACO welcomes the announcement by the State President for a 30% set aside procurement for cooperatives as well as SMME's in identified sectors of the economy and work of government. Accordingly, this is in line with the Procurement Accord agreed with all the partners at NEDLAC. Indeed this development signifies the fact that small business is big business. With this action by the State President, we believe that unemployment, poverty and inequality will be reduced. Lastly, the SANACO condemns with the contempt it deserve the media's failure to propagate the positive State of the Nation Address. This preoccupation by media on the negative activities that happened in Parliament confirms that the credibility of media as well as journalism in the country is decaying and requires serious attention by the state and the authorities that monitors this important space.
