Broad-based BEE - the complete guide - by Vuyo Jack

[Frontrunner Publishing (Pty) Ltd] R 259,00

'Black peoples economic participation is here to stay. The sooner reluctant players in the private sector embrace the substance of BEE, the sooner we will see real progress made in the growth of our country,' says Cyril Ramaphosa in the forward of this important book. BEE is a government project to attempt to reform South Africa's capital, in order to de-racialise ownership in the economy. Vuyo has done an excellent job in unraveling and demystifying this transformation process in a simple, easy to read book.
I highly recommend this book for everyone in South Africa because it explains in a nutshell government vision and policy. He makes a great point when he says that 'BEE is not equal to white impoverishment' and uses the analogy of an athlete who wants to develop her left leg without restricting the development of her right leg. All very positive and inspirational! I wondered why every time the word 'Black' is used it is written with a capital 'B' whereas 'white' is written with a small letter. Does this mean that Black people are defined solely by their blackness (Black = noun) whereas being white (white = adjective) is only one aspect of their being?
