Tshwaku, Mr M to ask the Minister of Trade, Industry and Competition
Whether he has found that the Republic, through its industrial policy, is going backwards and de-industrialising; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the relevant details; 2) by what date will the Republic stop exporting raw materials and start with the beneficiation of minerals especially chrome and platinum to create jobs; 3) whether he has found that industrialisation that is led by the State, in a similar fashion as in Vietnam and China, is the best way to practice industrialisation; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
During the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade talks that commenced in 1986, the National Party government of the time bound South Africa to substantial trade liberalization commitments that were incorporated in the terms of South Africa’s accession to the World Trade Organisation in 1994. Details of the background hereto was provided in a presentation made by the Ministry to the Portfolio Committee on Trade and Industry on 15 November 2022. The rapid liberalization without supportive industrial policies to address the lack of competitiveness of major parts of the pre-1994 industrial base, led to a sharp decline in the proportion of GDP made up by manufacturing output, in other words, a de-industrialisation of the economy.
In 2019 at the start of the current Administration, the President outlined the basic elements of a ‘re-imagined industrial strategy’ that placed deeper local industrialisation at the core of public policy. Though interrupted by the global economic disruptions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, key elements of this reindustrialization strategy are being implemented. These include the following:
- the focus on sector-level industrial plans agreed with business and labour, through a number of Master Plans agreed for a number of sectors, complemented by efforts during Covid-19 to build the medical industrial sector
- the Economic Reconstruction and Recovery plan and the Accord on Localisation agreed with social partners at Nedlac, covering 42 product categories and a number of value-chains
- protection of local industry through appropriate tariff increases on industrial and agricultural products; or where warranted, decreases in duties applicable through rebates of duty;
- industrial support measures to address structural inefficiencies and assist with structural transformation of sectors
- the focus on trade with the rest of the African continent, including through trade agreements such as the African Continental Free Trade Agreement (the AfCFTA); and
- the identification of and support to beneficiation and green industrial projects.
The Portfolio Committee on Trade and Industry has been provided with periodic reports on progress made in these areas, including most recently with the detailed half-year report on the 2022/23 Annual Performance Plan, provided to the Committee on 1 November 2022. The Honourable Member is invited to consider the details provided therein.
Reports on mineral beneficiation have been provided in the quarterly updates by the Department to the Portfolio Committee. Our natural endowment of primary minerals and its beneficiation is an opportunity to promote further industrialisation. At the start of this year the dtic along with the IDC and the DMRE institutionalised the Inter-Agency Working Group on Minerals Beneficiation to align priorities and improve the impact. The Working Group focus currently is on Minerals that go into our renewable energy distribution and generation transition, including battery energy storage, and jewellery minerals.
With regards to Platinum Group Metals (PGMs), a PGMs roadmap is being worked on with Mintek with the departments responsible for mineral resources and energy (DMRE) and science and innovation (DSI) that includes projects focused on the hydrogen economy, batteries, new medical equipment and products, and catalysts.
The chrome beneficiation value-chain already focuses on stainless steel products manufacturing and smelting within the Republic. Impediments to our mineral endowment beneficiation strategies include inadequate freight rail infrastructure and the availability and price of energy.
South Africa is learning from experiences of industrialisation by a number of countries, including fast-growing Asian economies such as China, though conditions in each country are different. For example, China is able to leverage off its massive domestic market of 1,5 million consumers and its early phase of industrialisation was based inter alia on lower input costs that what applies in South Africa. To address scale, South Africa is working with neighbouring countries to finalise a free-trade agreement covering countries on the African continent to create a larger market for local producers. To address input costs, the focus will be on improved industrial dynamism and multi-factor productivity.
Our industrialisation efforts are focused on strategic industries, defined by their capacity to be labour absorbing or providers of critical public goods or significant earners of foreign exchange. Many of the world’s largest economies including the United States, China, India and countries in the European Union continue to actively protect and promote their domestic firms through a range of policy measures in order to retain and change the structure of their respective economies.
Government’s industrialisation initiatives such as encouraging localisation of production; social compacts in the form of Master Plans; strong industrial supply chains to underpin our response to COVID-19 and create an African medical productive hub; or our work on the Africa Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), have all sought to provide local industry with the space and opportunity to acquire the know-how and capabilities to develop dynamic firms, grow the economy, create jobs for the citizens of the South Africa.

Pambo, Mr V to ask the Minister of Trade, Industry and Competition
What are the full details of economic data and/or evidence that he can provide to prove that foreign direct investment in the Republic has had a direct proportional relationship with (a) economic growth and (b) job creation (i) in the 2021 22 financial year and (ii) since 1 April 2022?
Reply:
Domestic economic growth is the aggregation of multiple, complex streams of for example: production, consumption, expenditure, imports and exports. These are in turn affected by a wide range of domestic and global factors. It is not advisable to reduce these complex interactions to a simple direct and/or proportional relationship. Subject to this caution, the following information has been provided to me by the dtic.
In the Financial year 2021-22, Foreign direct investment (FDI), measured as investment liability inflows by the South African Reserve Bank (SARB), increased from R17.3 billion at the beginning of the 2021/22 financial year to R39.9bn at the end of the financial year, growing by 130.8% during the 2021/22 financial year. In the same period, GDP grew by 1.3%, from R4.5 trillion (tr) to R4.6trn during the same period. Some studies indicate that in South Africa, FDI and economic growth are positively related (Masipa, 2014[1]; Awolusi and Adeyeye, 2016[2]; Makhoba and Zungu, 2021[3]).
In Quarter 1 2022/23 (April to June 2022), FDI declined (-34.2%) quarter-on-quarter while economic growth contracted (-0.7%) quarter-on-quarter.
Regarding Job creation, in the Financial year 2021/22: Foreign direct investment (FDI), measured as investment liability inflows, by the South African Reserve Bank (SARB), increased from R17.3 billion at the beginning of the 2021/22 financial year to R39.9bn at the end of the financial year, growing by 130.8% during the 2021/22 financial year. During the same period, Statistics South Africa (StatsSA) reported that employment contracted by 0.2%, with employment declining from 14.94 million to 14.91 million. Some empirical studies have found a positive relationship between FDI and job creation in South Africa (see Masipa, 2014).
Quarter 1 of this Financial Year 2022/23, Employment increased by 4% quarter-on-quarter while FDI declined (-34.2%) quarter-on-quarter.
Lags in an increase (or decrease) in investment and a subsequent increase (or decrease) in employment may also not follow in the same year, but may lag the change.

Cuthbert, Mr MJ to ask the Minister of Trade, Industry and Competition
(1)Whether, with regard to communications, media and marketing services contracts of the National Lottery Commission in the past three financial years, he will furnish Mr M J Cuthbert with (a) a list of service providers, (b) the nature of services provided, (c) the date when services were provided and (d) the total monetary value of each contract; (2) What supply chain management process was followed for the (a) tender, (b) preferred supplier, (c) treasury database and (d) single-source in respect of each specified contracts?
Reply:
The National Lotteries Commission has furnished me the following reply on their communications, media and marketing services in the past three years.
A number of transactions of the NLC have been flagged by the Auditor General. This follows a letter addressed by the Ministry to the Auditor General, drawing attention to findings of the SIU.
The NLC advised that the adverse findings made by the Auditor-General will be investigated and disciplinary steps taken. I have requested the NLC to update me on the progress of the investigation and disciplinary steps taken.
The reply from the NLC follows:
“(1)(a),(b),(c),(d) and (2)(a),(b),(c),(d)
Please refer to the tables below for a list of service providers, the nature of the services provided, date when the services were provided, the total monetary value and the Supply Chain Management process that was followed.
Sole supplier and single source were used in instances where the NLC was targeting a specific audience and when there was one service provider running a campaign to which the NLC wanted to participate in. These transactions have since been declared as irregular expenditure by the AGSA on the basis that it was not impractical for the NLC to obtain three quotations for those below R500 000 and that the transactions above R500 000 should have been procured through competitive bidding process or deviation approved by the National Treasury and not by the Commissioner. The NLC is currently undertaking a determination exercise on these transactions as required by the National Treasury framework, disciplinary steps will be taken against all that have been found to be in contravention of the supply chain regulations
Tender relates to the transactions which have been procured through the marketing panel that the NLC procured after following a competitive bidding process.
Treasury database relates to the transactions that were procured through sourcing quotations from the Central Supplier Database.

Cuthbert, Mr MJ to ask the Minister of Trade, Industry and Competition
Whether, with reference to the comment made by Mr Paul Mashatile in The Sunday Times on 9 October 2022, that to date eight of the masterplans have been approved by social partners and are in the stage of implementation, already delivering impressive results through sectoral growth, employment creation and expanding economic opportunity for previously excluded designated groups, his department, which is responsible for co-ordinating industry master plans, supplied Mr Paul Mashatile with the necessary empirical evidence to support the claim that the specified master plans are delivering impressive results; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, will he furnish Mr M J Cuthbert with the evidence?
Reply:
Details of performance of sectors in the economy are publicly available, as are the submissions made by the Department.
The President has provided information in State of the Nation Addresses, including on progress with specific Master Plans.
Details of relevant Master Plans have also been made available by the dtic to the Portfolio Committee, most recently on 1 November 2022 as part of the Department’s six-monthly report of performance against its Annual Performance Plan.
The report sets out to showcase the economic impact the Department has made in the implementation of the various Master Plans in the first 6 months of 2022/23 financial year, amongst other programmes. Furthermore, the presentation reported on the impact and outcomes of the department on a number of metrics, including jobs, manufacturing, local content, investments and industrial funding. A number of case studies were also provided across the various Master Plans to illustrate the impact of work done by the dtic.
In addition, other government departments responsible for specific master plans also make information available.
A number of businesses and sector leaders also provide information on the performance of Master Plans.

Madokwe, Ms P to ask the Minister of Trade, Industry and Competition
With reference to the many corruption cases which have been closed for various reasons including the inability to locate key witnesses, what key strategies has his department put in place to have perpetrators brought to book in order to discourage continued widespread corruption in his department?
Reply:
1. the dtic does not have any reported corruption cases that have been closed due to the inability to locate key witnesses.
2. the dtic recognises fraud prevention as an integral part of strategic management. the dtic is committed to the elimination of fraud and strives towards maintaining and implementing the highest standard of prevention and detection. the dtic prevents fraud through implementing the following strategies:
a) Prevention Strategy –
- the dtic has implemented a fraud and corruption email hotline address fraudandcorruption@thedtic.gov.za which is on the dtic’s website.
- Fraud Awareness Training: Employees in the department and provided with Fraud prevention training.
- Assessment of Fraud Risks: The Office of the Chief Risk Officer (OCRO) within the dtic, conducts annual risk assessments to identify potential fraud risks based on the risk profile of the Department.
- Internal Control: Internal controls are the first line of defence against fraud and are essential elements in the overall anti-fraud prevention strategy. the dtic promotes an internal control culture through the mapping of business processes to ensure that controls are built in, regular communication on ethics and ethical behaviour in the performance of daily activities, implementation of additional controls to prevent any fraud risks, and forensic investigations where required.
- Pre-Employment Screening: Screening is an effective means of preventing fraud such as falsifying qualifications or employment history, as well as previous criminal convictions for offences.
- Disclosure of interests: All staff members are required to disclose their financial interests on an annual basis. Failure to disclose fully incurs disciplinary action.
- Approval of Other Remunerative Work Outside Public Service: All staff are reminded, via regular communications and newsflashes, to obtain prior written approval of other remunerative work outside the Public Service in terms of Section 30(1) of the Public Service Act. Failure to obtain such approval incurs disciplinary action.
- Reviewing systems and procedures: When fraud is detected it is referred to the dtic’s Internal Audit unit for an investigation and recommendation of action. the dtic re-assesses the adequacy of the internal control environment and actively plans and implements improvements where required. The instances of fraud are received either through the whistle blowers hotline, National Anti-Corruption hotline or by management.
- Whistle Blowers protection: Individuals are encouraged to come forward with any information without fear of victimisation as the dtic has institutionalised the protection afforded to whistle blowers by the Protected Disclosures Act by approving its own Whistle Blowing Policy.
(b) Detection Strategy: Despite the existence of fraud prevention programmes, fraud may still occur. An anti-fraud reporting facility via the Presidential hotline and Whistle Blower’s line complements and underpins the commitment of the dtic to fighting fraud.
(c) Response Strategy -
-
- Disciplinary Action: Subsequent to a full investigation, the dtic takes disciplinary action in all cases where warranted. Any member of staff found guilty of dishonesty or fraud will be considered to have committed a serious disciplinary offence and will be dismissed.
- Recovery of money or property lost through fraud: the dtic will actively pursue the recovery of money or property lost through fraud and will refer the matter for criminal prosecution.
(d) Forensic Investigation -
- In the event that fraud is detected or suspected, the matter is fully investigated by Internal Audit Forensic Investigators.
- All fraud cases are tabled, discussed and monitored at the Pre-Risk Committee.
- All fraud cases are referred to SAPS for further prosecution.
- The findings of the SIU investigation of the National Lotteries Commission (NLC), have been prioritised and is being addressed as recommended in the SIU report. In addition, a fraud and corruption hotline has been created and placed on the NLC website to enable anonymous reporting by the public, of fraud and corruption at the NLC. This hotline is managed by the dtic, independently from the NLC.
(e) Anti-Corruption Unit and measures in progress: An Anti-Corruption unit within the dtic is in the process of being capacitated with the objective of intense focus on anti-fraud and corruption initiatives and measures across the dtic group, inclusive of all public entities reporting into the dtic.

Cebekhulu, Inkosi RN to ask the Minister of Trade, Industry and Competition
With regard to his department’s mandate to promote a dynamic industrial and globally competitive economy, what proactive action has his department taken to ensure that the Republic continues to positively participate in the global economy amidst looming grey list status and the high inflation rates which have had a negative impact on consumers?
Reply:
The Department of Trade, Industry and Competition (the dtic) is focused on supporting domestic businesses and foreign and domestic investors.
This support includes the conceptualisation and implementation of sectoral Masterplans by Government, Business and organised Labour. the dtic’s interventions include the provision of globally competitive financial and non-financial incentives; support for localisation through targeted private and public procurement interventions; careful use of trade policy measures to support investment in the industrial sector; measures in the competition policy space which encourage investment and localisation; and unblocking activities to assist investors to navigate South Africa’s regulatory environment as efficiently as possible. These efforts bear fruit with new investments publicly launched in the first six months of this financial year valued at R26, 9 billion and R329 billion worth of manufactured goods were exported in the same period
In common with its key trading partners, South Africa is experiencing a rise in inflation. Supply-chain disruptions experienced during the COVID-19 outbreak, the impact of generous fiscal packages in large economies, and the effect that the war in the Ukraine has had on both the energy and food value-chains, all contribute to inflationary pressures. Rising inflation affects the poor in South Africa disproportionately since food purchases account for a relatively large proportion of these consumers’ monthly expenditure. Consequently, the dtic seeks to strike a careful balance when taking policy or programme decisions which support industrialisation and which may have an impact on poor consumers. In some cases, a trade-off is required and the Department considers all relevant factors in taking such decisions.
Industrialisation increases South Africa’s ability to manufacture a range of products and this ability often mitigates or reduces inflation, especially when global prices for a particular product are rising or when international value-chains are disrupted. The dtic responds to this need and the value of approvals in more than 300 projects approved by the dtic, IDC and NEF amounted to R12,6 billion in incentives disbursed in the first six months of the financial year. Projects are located in 23 of the 52 municipalities. 11 of these are from largely rural districts. Localisation is driven by the steel industry with contribution from motor vehicle parts, renewable energy components and poultry.
I draw the Honourable Member’s attention to the efforts by both the Minister of Justice and the Minister of Finance, dealing with greylisting.

Luthuli, Mr BN to ask the Minister of Trade, Industry and Competition
How does his department intend to ensure that the R300 million debt fund, known as the SMME Crisis Partnership Fund, launched by the Gauteng provincial government, the Industrial Development Corporation and the SA SME Fund is protected against (a) corruption and (b) wasteful expenditure?
Reply:
I have been furnished with the information that follows, by the management of the Industrial Development Corporation (IDC):
The SMME Crisis Partnership Fund is managed by an independent Fund Manager, that being the SASME Fund.
As an investor in the fund, the Industrial Development Corporation (IDC) participates in a governance framework that has been put in place to protect the fund against corruption and wasteful expenditure. This consists of:
• Advisory Board
• Investment Committee
• IDC Oversight
• Reporting and Audit
Advisory Board
The Advisory Board is comprised of members appointed by the Investors. These members are independent in that they are not employees of the Fund Manager. The Advisory Board ensures that the Fund’s Guidelines, Policies and Procedures are adhered to. The Fund Manager may raise reasonable objections to the appointment of a prospective candidate e.g., reputational, or legal (criminal/fraud). The rights and responsibilities of the Advisory Board are to:
- approve any variations or waivers to the Fund Guidelines.
- approve increases to prudential limits on investments where specifically allowed in the Fund’s guidelines.
- advise on any governance issues that may arise in the Fund.
- review all expenses of the Fund.
- approve the appointment/replacement of the Fund’s Auditor.
- review bank statements of the Fund.
- review the annual valuations of investments, and to the extent that there is any dispute in respect of a valuation refer the issue to a recognised expert for final determination.
- to resolve any material conflict of interest between the Fund Manager and the Investors or the investors themselves arising from a Fund transaction.
Investment Committee
The Investment Committees key role is to:
- Approve or decline investments or exits from investments.
- Monitor and report to Investors the performance of the investments.
- Approve third party expenses to be borne by the Investors in respect of investments or exits.
- Ensure that the Fund manager implements the Investment Policy of the Fund as negotiated with Investors.
The committee is established and hosted by the Fund Manager. The Investment Committee members are individuals independent from the Fund Manager who possess the requisite industry, technical and financial skills to make investment decisions in accordance with the investment mandate and terms of the Fund.
IDC Oversight
IDC ensure appropriate oversight of the fund through representation on the Advisory Board and the Investment Committee. IDC has appointed senior staff who possess the requisite experience in respect of deal assessment, development finance and township sector knowledge to sit on these committees.
In addition, the IDC has a senior person responsible for constant oversight of the Fund and the Fund Manager.
Payments to the fund by the IDC are made as the fund invests in the SMMEs and not in a single lump sum. To effect disbursement of monies to the Fund, the Fund Manager must provide to the IDC the minutes of the Fund’s IC meetings showing which applicants have been approved for investment and the value of the investment.

Luthuli, Mr BN to ask the Minister of Trade, Industry and Competition
(1) What are the relevant details of the update on (a) gains and (b) challenges experienced by the One Stop Shop by InvestSA. (2) Whether any successful businesses have come out of the programme and successfully employed more South Africans: if not, why not, if so what are the relevant details? W4393E
Reply:
The One-Stop Shop is part of Government’s services to improve the investment climate and make it easier to operate a business in South Africa.
To this end the One-Stop Shop provides an investment facilitation service, at the National One-Stop and the three (3) Provincial in Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal and Western Cape.
This consists of support with respect to:
- pre investment (information and advisory) services to investors
- set up (roll out and implementation) and
- post investment services.
The role of the One-Stop Shop is to support new investments, expansions and retention of investment through assisting investors. Examples of the type of support rendered to foreign investors include support with:
- addressing challenges at local government level
- environment impact licenses
- water usage licenses
- construction permits
- electricity connections
- information to facilitate compliance with standards
- port clearances and
- work visas for managers and investors
Investment cuts across the three (3) sphere of Government (National, Provincial and Local) and Government agencies and InvestSa thus work with these various entities.
The One-Stop Shop provides an investment facilitation service throughout the investment life cycle journey in South Africa. The One-Stop Shop facilitates investment projects to be implemented and operationalised so that production plants and services can start, thereby creating new jobs and retaining jobs.
Recent examples include facilitating visas and electricity connections for Ford’s $1 billion new production line at the Tshwane Special Economic Zone (SEZ); as well visas for P&G and technical engagements with the National Regulator for Compulsory Specifications (NRCS) for industrial products.
The quarterly reports of the Department submitted to Parliament, provides additional information on the successes of InvestSA.

Khumalo, Dr NV to ask the Minister of Trade, Industry and Competition
(1)Â Â Â Â Â Â On what date did he attend the last meeting of any structure outside the Government in order to receive recommendations on the deployment of personnel in his department and/or entities reporting to him; (2) whether any appointments to his department and/or entities reporting to him were discussed during his attendance at any private forum and/or external structures to the Government; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what (a) are the details of appointments that were discussed and recommendations received and (b) other Government matters were discussed during the last meeting of any such forum? NW3917E
Reply:
All the appointments of personnel in public sector positions are made in accordance with relevant legislation. No structure outside of those prescribed in legislation can determine the deployment of personnel in public sector positions. Where the legislation requires me to make an appointment, I apply myself to the requirements of the entity concerned, the legislative prescripts and the merits of candidates for the positions.
As part of building a capable state, I make all reasonable efforts to strengthen the skills mix in those public sector appointments within my remit. I therefore consider carefully the suitability of candidates on the information available to me and the need to have a diverse set of skills and experiences on an entity’s board.

Whether any trade agreements were signed and/or agreed to at the 9th session of the South Africa-Saudi Arabia Joint Economic Commission; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
No trade agreements were signed at the recent South Africa-Saudi Arabia Joint Economic Commission (JEC) meeting held in Pretoria on 3-4 October 2022.
The JEC was convened inter alia in order to prepare the work for the planned State Visit to Saudi Arabia subsequently undertaken by President Ramaphosa on 15-16 October 2022, at which several economic cooperation agreements were signed. The JEC was therefore a useful clearing-house and opportunity to identify the status of negotiations on such proposed agreements.

De Villiers, Mr JN to ask the Minister of Trade, Industry and Competition
Given that he has been in office for more than a year, what number of formal businesses and start-up companies, whose primary business operandi involve technologies related to mobile connectivity, artificial intelligence, big data analytics, machine-to-machine communication and the internet of things which make use of machines to optimise efficient manufacturing and the production of goods in the small, medium and micro enterprises sector have been registered in the past two financial years?
Reply:
The Companies and Intellectual Property Commission (CIPC) informs me that it uses standard industrial classification codes (SIC) that does not include the level of detail set out in the question. For example, if a company’s business is in the computer industry, it will be classified as Information and Communication Technology and will not be specific as to whether that entails Artificial Intelligence or Robotics etc. The Companies Act, 2008 (Act No. 71 of 2008), did away with the concept of primary business being contained in a Companies Memorandum of Incorporation and made same general.

Reply:
The CEO of the Industrial Development Corporation (IDC) has advised me that the following total production volumes were achieved for the 10 year period from 2013-2022:
- Phosphate rock: 18 860 000 tons (on average 73% of capacity)
- Mono-ammonium phosphate 2 678 000 tons (on average 59% of capacity).
The Mine and acid plant had not been operating at full capacity for a number of years. Improvements to the infrastructure, power supply and additional technical capacity is required to improve production and capacity utilisation. The IDC has regularly engaged the Foskor leadership to improve operational performance and works with Transnet on logistics and Eskom on the energy related issues.
Following operational improvements made and favourable market conditions, a projected improvement in output for the current financial year is expected to increase capacity utilisation at the mine to 95% and a substantial improvement at the plant.
The IDC is the majority shareholder in Foskor, holding 59% of the Foskor shares. The IDC does consider potential Strategic Equity Partners for businesses that it is involved in.

A large number of public comments were received by the due date and a few stakeholders requested additional time and were granted a short extension. Comments ranged from pro-forma views in favour or against the proposals; to substantive submissions that engaged specifically with the policy, legal or economic aspects of the proposals. These comments are currently being evaluated and considered by the Ministry.
Copies of submissions are not normally made available to the public or to Members of Parliament, as respondents to a request for comment did not make representations in anticipation that their comments would be made available to the public.

(a) What are the reasons that the National Empowerment Fund (NEF) took so long to process the funding application of the Appetite Land and Agri company, as the offer to purchase has now expired and there seems to be reluctance by the seller to renew it, (b) how will his department intervene in this regard, (c) what measures will his department put in place to compensate the specified company when the seller refuses completely due to the delay, as it can be viewed as a lost opportunity by the company due to NEF incompetence and (d) who is the NEF fund manager responsible for the account?
Reply:
The CEO of the National Empowerment Fund (NEF) has furnished me with a detailed reply, which disputes the version apparently put to the Honourable Member.
In the reply, the CEO advises that the NEF “discussed the investment opportunity with the client to prepare the investment report and potential investment terms. Some key challenges arose during the due diligence stage of the application. Consequentially, in terms of due process, the application did not proceed to the Investment Committee of the NEF for final approval. A solution is being explored with the seller to address the outstanding information required to finalise the due diligence process and to ensure that the rights of all parties are protected. The opportunity is still available, and the seller is willing to work with the NEF to find a solution to the impasse emanating from his past reluctance to share the required information.”
I will be happy to arrange a discussion between the Honourable member and the NEF to provide more details.

(1)What specific socio-economic metrics does the Government use to assess whether the policy of broad-based black economic empowerment has been successful since it was introduced 19 years ago; (2) whether the specified metrics include changes in the (a) absolute number of black people living below the upper-bound poverty line, (b) proportion of the population of the Republic comprising black people living below the upper-bound poverty line, (c) absolute number of black people who are unemployed, including those who have given up looking for a job and (d) black unemployment rate, including those black people who have given up looking for a job; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
1. The South African Government is mandated to effect redress in the interests of equity, as embodied in the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996 (Act no. 108 of 1996). The Constitution, 1996 laid the foundation for a coherent and an inclusive economy of all its citizens. Section 9 of the Bill of Rights, in the Constitution, promotes equality in all facets of life, inclusive of the economy. An inclusive economy will only be possible if the South African economy builds on the full potential of all persons and communities across the length and breadth of our Country.
The Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) Act, 2003 (Act No. 53 of 2003), as amended, defines ‘broad-based black economic empowerment’ as: “the viable economic empowerment of all black people, in particular women, workers, youth, people with disabilities and people living in rural areas, through diverse but integrated socio-economic strategies that include, but are not limited to -
(a) increasing the number of black people that manage, own and control enterprises and productive assets;
(b) facilitating ownership and management of enterprises and productive assets by communities, workers, co-operatives and other collective enterprises;
(c) human resource and skills development;
(d) achieving equitable representation in all occupational categories and levels in the workforce;
(e) preferential procurement from enterprises that are owned or managed by black people; and
(f) investment in enterprises that are owned or managed by black people”.
(2) The introduction of ‘broad-based’ criteria is intended to ensure that the impact of policy is not confined to opportunities only for black entrepreneurs. The impact of policy on living standards (including persons living in poverty) and on employment (measured by the quality and quantity of jobs), are therefore also relevant.
A number of broad-based investment vehicles addresses socio-economic development matters such as
- provision of bursaries to students, which assist with increasing employability of the individuals and helps to grow the pool of skills that can drive higher growth, and thus higher incomes and jobs numbers
- rolling out of education support (eg teaching of numeracy at primary schools), laying the basis for better technical skills
- health-care services (such as HIV-Aids education) to discourage risky behaviour and stigmatising HIV positive persons
- rural development which assists with sustainable livelihoods
- job creation schemes and
- measures to improve living standards for members of communities.
The Department is currently undertaking research that can assist to quantify the impact of broad-based BEE policies on the above.
