Slide1 PRESENTATION ON THE KZN PROVINCIAL PERSPECTIVE ON B-BBEE IMPLEMENTATION SMME/B-BBEE CONFERENCE DURBAN, ICC 31 August 2010
Slide2 BACKGROUND BLACK ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT (BEE) STRATEGY Since 1994: BEE was a major thrust of all government policies YET there was no coherent strategy for its implementation. In 2000: BEE Commission released a report which gave the first attempt at broadly defining BEE. The BEE Commission’s report laid a good foundation for the development of strategy towards the implementation of BEE. In 2003: a strategy for BEE was released which defined BEE as: An integrated and coherent socio-economic process that directly contributes to the economic transformation of the country and brings about significant increases in the numbers of black people that manage, owned and control the country’s economy, as well as significant decreases in income inequalities. Thus the BEE process will include elements of the scorecards: Ownership, Management Control, Employment Equity, Skills Development, Preferential Procurement, Enterprise Development as well as Socio-Economic Development.
Slide3 KZN-B-BBEE STRATEGY VISION: A deracialized provincial economy in whose mainstream a critical mass of Black people participate meaningfully, in terms of control and ownership of private sector enterprises, and hold operational, professional, management, and executive positions in organizations of both the private and public sectors, in proportion to their demographic weight. STRATEGIC GOALS ARE: Increase in the number of black people who have ownership and control of existing and new enterprises ( in priority sectors). Increase number of Black people who hold senior management and executive positions in enterprises. Increase in the proportion of the ownership and management of economic activities vested in community-based and broad-based associations and enterprises, collective enterprises, trade unions and employee trusts. Increase in the number of Black young people, particularly rural young people, who acquire skills. Increase in land ownership by black people, etc.
