and coloured South Africans from BEE deals: report

In a move to shake up South Africa’s empowerment landscape in KwaZulu-Natal, Indians and coloureds could in future be blocked from state contracts of more than R50 million.
The bid to reshape BEE policies to benefit “black Africans” is being spearheaded by KwaZulu-Natal economic development MEC Sihle Zikalala, reports The Sunday Times.
According to the paper, it is being seen as a possible template for sweeping change in national empowerment legislation to incorporate the objectives of “radical economic transformation”.

The KwaZulu-Natal request, detailed in documents sent to the Treasury, makes it clear the aim is “to ensure there is economic transformation to benefit black Africans in the province”.
However, it also at odds with current legislation and practice, with Treasury reportedly denying the request as it would present constitutional issues.
