The Toti business community is on high alert following the publication of the amended Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment Act.
The alert was emphasised by the following heading in the media: ‘DTI has just kicked broad-based black ownership in the teeth for the second time’.
“The Durban South Business Forum (DSBF) pro-actively identified the urgent need to be kept up-to-date on how to position our businesses’ sustainability in these challenging times of sweeping transformation,” said vice-president of DSBF, Andre Beetge.
“Accordingly, the entire Toti business community is invited to a briefing in this regard by Pieter du Toit of the Department Trade and Industry (DTI). His authority and expertise is recognised and respected by his peers.”

* The amended BBBEE Act.
* Fronting.
* The amended BBBEE Codes: QSEs.
* The amended BBBEE Codes: Large Companies.
* Changes to the above (May 2015).
