26
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%.
27
Is BEE advancing in the Western Cape? Lower LSMs still occupied by black people– indicates little economic interest Still a lack of meaningful BEE
28
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?
