dc.description.abstract	This study identifies the factors playing a role in the failure of Small, Medium and Micro Enterprises (SMMEs) in Tshwane region. The high failure rate can be partially caused by the fact that SMMEs believe that they do not get enough support from the government besides their own internal factors. Measures are recommended that will help SMMEs to be more successful. The study was scientific, descriptive and quantitative in nature. Questionnaires were used to gather data. Results revealed that the most common causes of SMMEs failure were lack of access to finance and employee skills development, low staff morale and most of them are in the food beverages industry. The study recommends that government should enhance its support mechanism, SMMEs attend mentorship programmes, align their strategies with customers’ needs and invest in employee skills development. If these recommendations are properly applied, they will ensure success of SMMEs in Tshwane and the rest of South Africa.	en
