Abstract: Programmes which aim at developing entrepreneurship are numerous in South Africa but tangible results are difficult to see, if any, as unemployment is still high. The reasons are twofold: either there are not many new enterprises
that are being created or there is insufficient growth that is taking place within existing enterprises. The present study investigates some of the interventions which have been introduced by the South African government through its various agencies to support entrepreneurship and points out the challenges they face, namely policy development, operational and pedagogic impediments. A simple model is suggested for development of entrepreneurship training and suggests roles
to be played by the Sector Education Training Authorities (SETAs) and other development agencies.
