Abstract
South Africa is an example of a country with an enclave model in terms of
development. This former settler-dominated economy is faced with the problem
of unemployment and underemployment. The purpose of this study is to
investigate ways in which the informal sector could become more productive and
competitive and a nexus for industrialisation. A comparative analysis of two case
studies found within the craft sector is undertaken. The case study respondents
were the Talking Beads and the Kopper en Kraale. Questionnaires were used and
analysed. This resulted in development strategies that are proposed for the
integration of the informal sector into the formal sector of the economy
