Democratic Access
SASTA believes township businesses should have opportunities to understand and access the technologies reshaping modern commerce. Our approach is focused on making digital tools, business technology and practical learning more accessible to entrepreneurs who have historically had fewer opportunities to benefit from them.
Partnerships & Collaboration
SASTA has a history of working with municipal authorities, community structures and businesses serving the informal economy. Collaboration remains central to creating stronger trading environments and expanding opportunities for entrepreneurs.
