    The effect of regulatory compliance on SMMEs' access to government support during COVID 19 lockdown: the case of King Cetshwayo District in KwaZulu-Natal
    2023
     | Eurasian Publication...
    This paper analyzes the impact of non-compliance on distribution of government support to SMMEs in the King Cetshwayo district in South Africa during the Covid 19 lockdown. We use qualitative data from semi-structured interviews and thematic content analysis to analyze the experiences and perceptions of government employees and political representatives who were involved in distributing the goods or services. Our findings show that compliance and negative attitudes towards compliance requirements were a hindrance to government interventions to ameliorate the Covid 19 pandemic induced recession. The top-down structure of the compliance system also contributed to challenges as local, national, and regional regulators were not coordinated with each other. We therefore recommend alignment of compliance requirements across the distinct levels of government (regulators), and improvement in efficiency of the regulatory system. A complete online system can be used and made accessible to local regulators to improve service delivery. In addition, compliance requirements can be relaxed during times of crises to enable access to government support by SMMEs.

    Government social protection and households’ welfare during the COVID-19 pandemic in South Africa
    2023
     | Emerald
    Purpose– This study evaluates the impact of government social protection interventions on households’ welfare in South Africa. Design/methodology/approach– The study uses survey data comprising 393 observations and the multinomial logistic regression technique to analyse the effect of government interventions on households’ welfare. For robustness purposes, a negative binomial regression model is also estimated whose results corroborate the main results from the multinomial regression model. Findings– The study’s findings show that government economic interventions through social protection significantly reduce the likelihood of a decrease in household income or consumption. COVID-19 grant/social relief of distress grant, unemployment insurance, tax relief and job protection and creation are all significant in sustaining household income and consumption. Practical implications– The findings have policy implications for social development. Specifically, the findings support the use of government social protection as a safety net for low-income groups in South Africa.
