Transcend sent out an email today saying (and no I'm not putting up a hyperlink to this –they are my competition)
It is rumoured that the Revised BBBEE Codes will be gazetted as soon as July 2013, yes that's right, next month. Now the Dti could always delay this and only release them toward the end of the year, but this is what we have heard, Having said this we will be planning public sessions for you to understand the impact of the revised BBBEE Codes...
And then Zoomer told parliament today that
the government planned a shake-up of its "black economic empowerment" policies aimed at redressing the imbalances of white-minority apartheid rule.
Are the two linked in anyway? The shake-up of the laws does not specifically mean the codes. But you have to love the reference to "white minority apartheid rule". This is the rhetoric of the incorruptible and competent ANC government for the next election. If you had any doubt as to where the Black Business Council's allegiances lie then look no further than Zungrabber's comment in a Stephen Grootes article from a few weeks ago.
The real reason the Black Business Council (BBC) exists is because its members are "economic apartheid fighters", says general secretary Sandile Zungu.
But what makes this little group of disgruntled whiners so unique is that they seem to have realised that the private sector sees them for the players they are and so they are only focusing on state business.
My fuck Zoomer – what a fantastic legacy you have already started preparing for yourself. The racial polarising of the country is probably the least of your conquests but one that is going to take the longest to repair.
