The rationale is that by working as a collective, small businesses can have greater market power and influence, helping with growth and sustainability. 

Singapi says taxi associations in SA are proof of how powerful such collectives can be. The challenge is convincing the government to create frameworks for more sector to organise themselves as such. 

Through the discussion, the team highlights the tenets of co-operative governance in business; history of such structures in SA; success seen in other markets; challenges in making such structures more widespread; and efforts to change the status quo.
