Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) have a significant role to play in a country’s sustainable development. The measures of a country’s sustainable development include economic and social factors. The sustainability of small and medium enterprises is vital to job creation, poverty reduction, and sustainable economic growth. The high failure rate of SMEs negatively impacts on South Africa’s sustainable development. The purpose of the study was to investigate the relationship between entrepreneurial resilience and the success of SMEs in South Africa. Success was measured using both organisational and individual criteria. The Connor–Davidson Resilience Scale 10 (CD-RISC 10) was used to measure entrepreneurial resilience. Data was collected from 170 small business owners through the survey method. The self-administered questionnaire method was used to collect data from the participants. Convenience and snowball methods were used for sampling. Descriptive statistics, confirmatory factor analysis, correlation, and regression analysis were used for data analysis. Cronbach’s alpha was used as a measure of reliability. The results indicated that there is a significant positive relationship between entrepreneurial resilience and individual and organisational success. Ways to enhance the resilience of small business owners in order to ensure the sustainability of SMEs are suggested.

Muztaqbalah is a small business located in Jetis, Dau, Malang Regency that manufactures aloe vera extract beverages. The problem faced by Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) is that the shelf life of aloe vera products is short, although sodium benzoate has been added. In addition, consumers want a fresher taste in aloe vera extract beverages. Based on the problems faced by Muztaqbalah's business, this program aims to help business owners improve the quality of aloe vera extract beverages. After consulting and mentoring, it is suggested to add additional stages in the manufacturing process, soaking in saltwater, filtering before the aloe vera meat is blended, and sterilizing bottles or cups before packaging. Based on the results of the Total Plate Count (TPC) analysis, the proposed preservative additive is citric acid because it has a longer shelf life than lime.ABSTRAKUsaha Muztaqbalah merupakan usaha kecil pembuat minuman sari lidah buaya yang terletak di Jetis, Dau, Kabupaten Malang.

It is becoming increasingly important for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to build relationships with their customers. Relationship building is supported by collecting up to date information on the customer, the service rendered and the satisfaction with the product. Recent previous literature on customer relationship management seem to focus on how technology can assist with relationship building but there is a gap in the knowledge as to how South African SMEs go about building relationships and collecting feedback from customers. Quantitative self-administered online survey was sent to small business owners that are registered with an official state institution for SME’s in South Africa. Based on the results SMEs can be categorised as average presumers, passive respectors ordo-it-all-right’ers based on how they build relationships and collect feedback from customers.
