<p dir="ltr">The entrepreneurial promotion in South Africa makes no distinction between South African and African immigrant entrepreneurs. The modality of starting a new venture, especially in the informal sector in South Africa accommodates both South Africans and non-South Africans. However, rhetorical emphasis on entrepreneurship poses some notions of self-reliance for non-South Africans living in South Africa.
