Cape Town - Cabinet has approved legislation paving the way for easing the business licensing process.
Acting government spokesperson Phumla Williams told a media briefing on Thursday, following Cabinet's regular Wednesday fortnightly meeting, the Licensing of Businesses Bill would replace the current Licensing of Businesses Act.
It would provide a simple enabling framework for business licence application procedures by setting norms and standards, she said.
Once the bill had been gazetted, Trade and Industry Minister Rob Davies would hold a media briefing to provide further details.
