Who We Are

More than compliance.
A growth engine.

Vunumfazi Group is a South African enterprise development company built on a simple conviction: every business deserves the same quality of compliance, skills development and growth infrastructure that large corporates take for granted.

Our name means "those who do" — and that is precisely what we deliver. Not plans. Not reports. Results.

Our Purpose
Every service we render is a direct response to South Africa's most urgent national imperatives.
NDP
NDP 2030 — SMMEs as Employment Engine
The NDP requires SMMEs to account for 90% of employment by 2030 — meaning 3.2 million new businesses need to be created. Vunumfazi Group builds the compliance and capacity infrastructure these businesses need to survive and scale.
ETI
Employment Tax Incentive Act — Youth Employment
The ETI was designed to reduce youth unemployment by making it financially attractive to hire and train young South Africans aged 18–29. We ensure that every rand of this incentive reaches the employers and young people it was designed for.
NSF
National Skills Fund — Skills as Catalyst
The NSF 2025–2030 Strategic Plan positions skills development as the primary catalyst for economic growth and employment creation. Vunumfazi Group's learnership and SETA programme services are direct delivery mechanisms for this national strategy.
GNU
Government of National Unity — Inclusive Growth
The GNU's three strategic priorities — inclusive growth, poverty reduction, and reducing the cost of living — are embedded in every Vunumfazi Group programme. We are not bystanders in the national project. We are active delivery partners.
Compliance Framework

regulatory environment.

SMME Focus

The SMME is not a
small problem.

South Africa needs 3.2 million new SMMEs by 2030 to meet the NDP employment target. The single biggest barrier is not funding — it is capability. Businesses fail not because they lack ambition, but because they lack the compliance infrastructure, skills architecture and business systems to sustain growth. That is the gap Vunumfazi Group was built to close.

90%
of all South African employment must come from SMMEs by 2030 — NDP 2030 target
R316,500
monthly ETI value available to an employer with 211 qualifying learners at maximum rebate
60%
of current South African jobs already come from SMMEs — the foundation exists, it needs support

From mandate to
measurable outcome.

01
Discovery Call
We assess your current compliance position, workforce composition and ETI/SETA eligibility in a structured 60-minute engagement.
02
Programme Design
We design the optimal programme structure — qualifying periods locked, learner cohorts defined, SETA and ETI strategy aligned.
03
VCE Onboarding
Your employee data is loaded into the VCE platform. Triple-Lock runs on every learner. TRN issues identified and resolved before first submission.
04
Monthly Execution
EMP201 submitted. UI-19 filed. ETI offset applied to PAYE. Monthly Intelligence Brief delivered to you. Every deadline met, every time.
05
Refund & Growth
EMP501 reconciliation filed. SARS cash refund released. We reinvest that capital into the next phase of your skills and growth strategy.

South Africa does not have a shortage of ambition. It has a shortage of structured support for the people and businesses brave enough to build something. That is why we exist.
