JOHANNESBURG - The Broad Based Black Economic Empowerment Act was designed to drive economic transformation and increase the participation of black South Africans in the economy.
However, recent scrutiny has raised questions about its effectiveness, with some advocating for a review or scrapping of the B-BBEE compliance certificate system.
Concerns over corruption in the issuance of these certificates have fueled calls for a new approach to empowerment policies.
