Week 9 Concious Capitalism - Guy LiebermanUCT Upstarts
The Giant Flag is a 66 hectare South African Flag, made up of two and half million coloured desert succulents and a 4 megawatt solar field. It will be established on municipal land on the outskirts of Graaff-Reinet in the Eastern Cape Karoo. The Giant Flag project will layer several streams of environmental, social and economic activity under one over-arching project, that will extend over decades. The concept is to take one Karoo municipality, the Camdeboo, made up of the three towns of Graaff-Reinet, Aberdeen and Nieu-Bethesda, and generate a socio-economic shift so effective that it will change the course of that community forever. All the jobs linked to the Giant Flag, either through direct employment, small, medium and micro enterprise (SMME) incubation or contract, will be considered green collar. All public tenders will favour Camdeboo citizens and companies as a priority, extending to the broader Eastern Cape.

8. 5. DEFINITION OF A SOCIAL ENTERPRISE
“A business or other organization characterized by the delivery of
social value as the principal aim as opposed to maximizing profit for
the owners/shareholders; and the ongoing production of goods or
the provision of services to generate an income that covers costs
and potentially allows for a surplus.” (ILO)
“An organization that has a market orientation but exists to address
a social or environmental issue.” (Greater Capital)
“A social enterprise’s primary objective is to address social problems
through a financially sustainable business model where surpluses (if
any) are mainly reinvested for that purpose”. (IDC)
A social enterprise is a social business or business venture that that
exists to fix a social or environmental problem and uses its profits
for this purpose. (Marcus Coetzee)
9. 6. CRITERIA FOR A SOCIAL ENTERPRISE
To be considered a social
enterprise, organizations must:
• Have a clear social and/or
environmental mission set out
in their governing documents
• Generate the majority of their
income through trade
• Reinvest the majority of their
profits
• Be autonomous of state
• Be majority controlled in the
interests of the social mission
• Be accountable and
transparent

13. 10. CHALLENGES FACED BY SOCIAL ENTEPRISES IN SA
Access to MarketsAccess to Finance
Access to Support
Results based on a survey conducted by the Bertha Centre in 2014 on the type of support that social entrepreneurs need.
Sample = 144 questionnaires, 69 focus group participants and 14 in-depth interviews.
14. Challenge 1:
Access to Markets
• Unaware of supplier opportunities in government
and business.
• Don’t know the process for submitting bids.
• Don’t have the right level of Black-Economic
Empowerment.
• Entrepreneur is the “wrong” colour.
• Government pays for activities not
results/outcomes.
• Don’t have the right documentation (e.g. tax
clearance certificate, audited financial
statements, B-BBEE certificate).
• Too much procurement bureaucracy.
• Customers don’t appreciate the additional value
that social entrepreneurs have to offer.
• No directory of products (goods/services) of
social entrepreneurs.
• “Price war” format of government tenders.
• Perception of corruption of procurement
processes and with “political inner circle winning
tenders”.
Customers can include:
• Small businesses
• Nonprofit organizations
• Corporations
• Government
• General public
15. Challenge 2:
Access to Finance
• Don’t know how to access enterprise development
(ED) funding from corporates.
• ED funders are not interested or confused by
enterprises with a social purpose.
• Grant funders are wary of any “business-like”
aspects of the enterprise.
• Impact investors complain that social
entrepreneurs have the wrong business models.
• Financial bureaucracy and red tape.
• Banks unwilling to give loans to enterprises with a
“non-profit” legal form or those owned by a
nonprofit organization.
• Donations to for-profit entities not tax deductible
for the giver (no PBO status).
• Some investors consider normal labour intensive
enterprises as good “impact investments”.
• Rules for reserve ratios of foundations encourage
grants not impact investments.
• Lack of finance for startups and idea generation.
Funders can include:
• Government
• Enterprise Development
Departments
• Banks
• Impact Investors
• Foundations
• Crowdfunding
16. Challenge 3:
Access to Support
• Lack of specialized training for social entrepreneurs.
• Huge number of inexperienced entrants into the field.
• Training is either too business orientated or too socially focused
– very few providers get it right.
• Social entrepreneurs are desperate for networking
opportunities, particularly with other social entrepreneurs.
• Need help with developing business models that appeal to
impact investors.
• Need help identifying procurement opportunities and
preparing suitable proposals.
• Want government and funders to use existing organizations to
provide support – don’t want support from people that don’t
understand them properly.
• Need for shared workspaces.
Support can include:
• Training
• Incubation
• Shared workspaces
• Networks
• Mentorship
• Seminars
• Conferences
• Academic programmes

18. POST SESSION REFLECTION
Reflecting on whether a social enterprise is the right model for you:
• Who is your beneficiary (i.e. the people or community who will benefit
from the services of the social enterprise)?
• Who is your customer (i.e. the person or organization that will pay the
social enterprise to deliver its services)?
• Will the social enterprise be able to generate a surplus (i.e. profit margin)
from sales to the customer?
• Will the social enterprise require a loan or equity investment in order to
expand?
• How much control do you personally desire to have over the social
enterprise?
