Mthethwa said the situation was so serious that the organisation was on the brink of liquidation at one stage.
Mthethwa said she was ready to lead the team responsible to unpack programmes to achieve the promise of creating 100 000 small, medium and micro enterprises a year.
Mthethwa said several agreements and partnerships were being signed with various agencies, municipalities and sector education and training authorities.
Mthethwa confesses that he was surprised to be reminded of the differences between himself and the sugarcane workers.
