To date, the exercise has not moved much beyond squabbling over numbers. In doing so, the debate has ignored an estimated two thirds of the private sector. Business and government have talked past each other about the same set of regulatory compliance targets–the former focused on arguments for maintaining or reducing the targets; the latter on reasons to extend them. One point of consensus is that in the 25 years since South Africa achieved democracy, the pace and extent of transformation of private sector ownership has been wholly inadequate. This paper seeks to examine how we should be thinking about listed equity, which has had more focus as a result of clearer metrics being available; the transformation of unlisted business sector; the impact on private sector ownership of government's range of goals since 1994; and proposed policy amendments intended to develop a view on equity ownership in South Africa shared by government, business, organised labour and other key stakeholders.","PeriodicalId":45045,"journal":{"name":"Transformation-Critical Perspectives on Southern Africa","volume":"458 1","pages":"51 - 79"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-11-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79796169","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Important systemic elements must be noted, particularly Malaysia's executive-driven, centralised, discretionary and quota-based administration, which contrasts with South Africa's more legislative, decentralised, codified and target-based interventions. Nonetheless, commonalities have surfaced between the two countries in the past decade, with Malaysia increasingly focused on active ownership and dynamic SME development, after decades of myriad interventions and under-performance in these policy spheres. This paper proposes four main applications for South Africa. First, in view of considerable incoherencies in contemporary policy discourses in Malaysia, it is imperative to clearly and systematically formulate an empowerment framework that subsumes education, employment and enterprise and that reinforces group-targeted empowerment by focusing on upward mobility and capability development. Second, higher education must be accorded priority to ensure availability of skill and talent. Third, SME development and entrepreneurship should emphasise broad-based ownership, effective control and productive outcomes. Fourth, the experiences of Malaysia's government-linked companies hold out lessons for South Africa's state-owned companies, given the significant parallels in structure and strategic importance.","PeriodicalId":45045,"journal":{"name":"Transformation-Critical Perspectives on Southern Africa","volume":"33 1","pages":"21 - 50"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-11-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86347338","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This current contribution is an attempt at laying the basis for greater focus on B-BBEE in the industry. It critically reflects on the economic position and contribution of the automotive manufacturing industry, presents a definitional framework for B-BBEE, and develops an initial critical evaluation of its B-BBEE performance. Our contribution draws attention to how a generalised shift occurred from the narrower BEE to B-BBEE. We unpack the B-BBEE equity equivalents trajectory and foreign-controlled multinational corporations within the automotive manufacturing industry's framework. The methods used include an examination of automotive industrial transformation, policy, and its performance, as well as stakeholder documents and meeting proceedings. Our conclusion reflects on the Automotive Industry Transformation Fund as a synthesis that emerged from the B-BBEE trajectory in the automotive manufacturing industry, and how this positively relates to production development and industrial transformation. This contribution argues for a production development and industrial transformation approach to B-BBEE, with deepening and widening domestic value addition as key objectives and an integral part of localisation, greater attention on diversifying and growing the lower tiers of the supplier base and increasing employment.","PeriodicalId":45045,"journal":{"name":"Transformation-Critical Perspectives on Southern Africa","volume":"4 1","pages":"112 - 138"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-11-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90775148","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

South Africa has the world's highest income inequality, and this is reflected by vast inequalities in salaries and wages both between high and low earners, but importantly between different race and gender groups. Despite a plethora of legislation aimed at addressing inequality in ownership (such as B-BBEE) and in the workplace (employment equity legislation), women and Black workers in South Africa continue to be paid less than men and white employees, even when doing the same work (the pay gap), and are more likely to work in precarious, low-paid jobs (occupational segregation). These factors are driven by differences in the characteristics of workers, and by structural discrimination in the economy. Conceptually, we can decompose structural discrimination into two forms–that which discriminates against people who do the same job, based on race and gender (the pay gap)– and that which discriminates indirectly by occupational segregation–blacks and women concentrated in low paying occupations. In this paper, we ask whether B-BBEE–while not explicitly a labour market intervention–has had any positive impact in reducing labour market inequalities. We review the literature on occupational segregation and the gender and race pay gaps in post-apartheid South Africa, and examine the various policy interventions, with a particular focus on B-BBEE, that have attempted to address this enduring problem.","PeriodicalId":45045,"journal":{"name":"Transformation-Critical Perspectives on Southern Africa","volume":"16 16 1","pages":"1 - 20"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-11-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83749518","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While BEE policy has been applied as the African National Congress government's primary strategy for bringing about transformation in the ownership and control of productive assets in the economy, the outcomes in key sectors of the economy have been poor in terms of inclusion. This paper considers the interrelations between the black empowerment programme and industrial policies in South Africa, with specific reference to transformation in the manufacturing sector. The paper examines the extent of transformation in the manufacturing sector in South Africa. The paper seeks to understand why South Africa has not seen the emergence of a large, economically significant black industrialist class that owns and controls economic assets and resources that are competitive at different levels in the manufacturing sector. The paper further explores the extent to which South Africa's industrial policy strategies have contributed to or undermined deep transformation in the manufacturing sector. The paper identifies key limitations of BEE and South Africa's industrial policy framework, and the gaps between these policies in terms of addressing the factors that restrict the inclusion of black-owned firms in manufacturing. It further considers how industrial transformation could be accelerated in South Africa.","PeriodicalId":45045,"journal":{"name":"Transformation-Critical Perspectives on Southern Africa","volume":"45 1","pages":"111 - 80"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-11-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86007117","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
