Unequivocally, South Africa, amid an environment of paucity of resources and ever-increasing cases of coronavirus, faces an arduous challenge of fighting the scourge of coronavirus This has necessitated the need to assess the role of business entities as complementary stakeholders This article applied qualitative paradigm and case-study design that allowed an investigation of 13 postgraduate participants to explore the contribution of business entities against coronavirus in South Africa The article established gaps embedded in the contribution made by business entities against COVID-19;weaker support by Eastern Cape business entities against COVID-19;and business entities donating personal protective equipment to communities and food to the disadvantaged communities This article recommends that business entities increase their complementary role to the government by increasing their contribution to needy communities Copyright © 2020 by Koninklijke Brill NV, Leiden

期刊介绍： Perspectives on Global Development and Technology (PGDT) is a peer-reviewed journal for the discussion of current social sciences research on diverse socio-economic development issues that reflect the opportunities and threats brought about by the world order shift from bipolar to global, the present economic liberalization that constricts development options, and the new enabling technologies of the Information Age. A founding principle of PGDT is that all people are entitled to scientific and technological knowledge to promote human development. PGDT is the international forum where the questions associated with this endeavour are thoroughly examinated and clearly communicated.
