Joint Sittings to debate the President’s State of the Nation Address (SONA), public hearings on a civil aviation Bill, the review of the Women’s Charter and 44 meetings of committees are coming up on the programme of Parliament this week.
Since April 2019, the Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) commissioner Zodwa Ntuli has been on the warpath, insisting that several of the longest-established black empowerment schemes are operating in breach of the legislation, claiming BEE “ownership points” to which they are not entitled.
This is surprising for several reasons, not least because there has been no change in the intricate laws and regulations covering approved BEE since 2015.
Ntuli is an employee of the Department of Trade, Industry and Competition (DTIC) who was appointed by the minister in early 2019.
