Deputy President Paul Mashatile says government is working to make it easier to do business, in order to promote localisation.
He was speaking at the Localisation Dinner organised by Proudly South African at the Sandton Convention north of Johannesburg on Tuesday night.
This is an initiative to help drive creative strategies to influence local procurement in the public and private sectors.
It was preceded by the Proudly South African Buy Local Summit and Expo which started on Monday.
