BBBEE Legislative

B-BBEE is a Socio-Economic transformation program introduced by the South African government as a means of accelerating social redress and narrowing economic inequality in South Africa.

The goal of B-BBEE is to accelerate the distribution means and opportunities across a broad spectrum of previously disadvantaged South Africans as far as possible, by introducing transformation requirements and leveraging other pieces of legislation aimed at achieving equality and social redress.

B-BBEE divides companies into three major categories:

Zwonaka MLM Holding prides itself with going beyond advisory services because of always considering:

  • Exempted Micro Enterprise (EME): an enterprise with an annual Turnover of R10 million or less.
  • Qualifying Small Enterprise (QSE): an enterprise with an annual Turnover of between R10 million and R50 million
  • Generic: an enterprise with an annual Turnover above R50 million

The Codes define 3 of the 5 elements (Ownership, Skills Development, Enterprise, and Supplier Development) as "Priority Elements". Companies have to achieve a 40 % subminimum score for each Priority Element to avoid their Scorecard being discounted one level down.
