BROAD-BASEDNARROW-BASED 1.Measures underlying economic interest of black ownership Measures percentage black ownership only not actual economic benefits; benefits only a few with access to capital – elitist 2.Eliminates fronting through clear definitions, principles and processes to define measurement High level of fronting – no clear implementation guidelines/ measures 3.Broad-based empowerment encouraged through procurement, enterprise development and CSI, which, if channelled correctly, will have an increasingly positive impact on the welfare of fishing communities No broad-based benefits for emerging businesses or fishing communities 4.Supports the New Growth Path initiative and government job creation targets Does not support government policy Key Challenge: Agreeing on a uniform measurement of Transformation

The Way Forward We would respectfully ask of DAFF, as a precursor to the development of a fishing charter and the setting of any future industry-specific transformation goals, that it: 1.Adopts the BBBEE Codes of Good Practice in ALL policies DAFF’s current approach to assessing transformation -  Is narrow and only measures the percentage black ownership and management and fails to recognise broad-based transformation initiatives  Pre-dates the 2007 change in legislation on B-BBEE  Is contrary to government’s stated strategy, including the New Growth Path 2.Publishes the results of the Performance Review process specific to the CURRENT LEVEL OF BBBEE TRANSFORMATION within the fishing industry OGL has been verified as a black-owned level 3 BBBEE contributor
