Is BEE advancing in the Western Cape? Significant number of black listed company presence. However this is within a very small active black presence in JSE – about 3% Property ownership – somewhat more positive than other factors

Is BEE advancing in the Western Cape? Large number of un-banked

Is BEE advancing in the Western Cape? Large number of unemployed, but WC unemployment rate is about 19% compared to the national average of about 30%.

Is BEE advancing in the Western Cape? Lower LSMs still occupied by black people– indicates little economic interest Still a lack of meaningful BEE

However, the following requires investigation….for conclusiveness Success of Western Cape government’s preferential procurement – pendulum shifting towards blacks Is the licensing and quota system furthering BEE? – deeper problem of capacity to handle fishing quotas The status of staff training in the Western Cape? Increasing towards blacks Is SMME development furthering BEE in the Western Cape?

The solution…. Grow the WC economy Organic growth Capture from other provinces
