- The DA argues that BEE was designed by white-owned big businesses to benefit politically connected elites and preserve existing power structures.
- The proposed Public Procurement Inclusive Bill intends to replace BEE with a system rewarding tangible development, including job creation and environmental sustainability.
- The ANC continues to support BEE as a tool for redressing apartheid inequalities but is unlikely to back the DA’s reform proposal.
- The bill includes phasing out the BEE Commission over one year and establishing a simplified supplier evaluation system that excludes corrupt bidders.
It is now incumbent upon the ANC to recognise that its failed policies no longer enjoy the same public support as before. South Africans seek genuine empowerment rather than trickle-down redress.— Mat Cuthbert, DA head of policy, discussing the need for the ANC to reconsider its policies.
