This Gazette comes after a period of nine years (9) since the First Draft ICT Charter was released for public comment as part of the Sector’s commitments to B-BBEE.
The ICT Sector Code is binding to all stakeholders operating in the Sector.
Skills Development is one of the seven (7) elements of B-BBEE to promote skills development in the Sector.
