 The AGSA & Broad Based Black Economic Empowerment (BBBEE)
... - 09 November 2009

At the pinnacle of transformation in South Africa, the Auditor-General of South Africa (AGSA) is committed to supporting and accelerating transformational developments. The AGSA recognises that the implementation of a broad-based black economic empowerment (BBBEE) strategy is an essential mechanism in its efforts to meet the objectives as set out in the BBBEE Act to achieve sustainable and inclusive economic development, social stability and labour-absorbing economic growth. The transformation objectives and goals will therefore enable the AGSA to fulfil its leadership role and have the intention of leveraging all aspects of AGSA activities to support the economic policy objectives of BBBEE.

................ 

Preferential procurement has been identified as an instrument to create and increase opportunities for BBBEE enterprises and address social economic issues such as:

·      Making business opportunities available to groups of individuals that were previously denied business opportunities.
·        Promoting economic activity in a particular region, e.g. local development.
·        Promoting job creation.

·        Promoting a particular method in the delivery of required services.
