BEE: What needs to be done?
Phillip Dexter says that it is currently being used as a cover for corruption
Rethinking BEE: Towards sustainable empowerment - Phillip Dexter COPE MP
The current empowerment environment is unworkable and "broken". We need to fix it.
- Some of the difficulties include -
It is impossible to police; - Its application is arbitrary and ad hoc;
- There is still no uniform standard across government and the private sector;
- It is extremely complex and hence difficult and costly to implement;
- It is becoming highly contested and the private sector, although sometimes not opposed to transformation, is becoming fatigued and disinterested;
- The current environment promotes avoidance, deceit and even corruption.
