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":null,"pages":null},"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":null,"pages":null},"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":null,"pages":null},"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}

This allows insights to be drawn from the changes and continuities in policy, regulation and economic actions that account for the current successful and failed outcomes. Black empowerment has meant different things to different actors across these periods. Notwithstanding the implications of these different episodes in black empowerment, approaches that sought to mobilise black consumption and savings to achieve economic power, or to build institutions for mutual economic support remain an important interpretation of the empowerment project. In the democratic era, early approaches to B-BBEE were based on an implicit bargain between established capital and the black middle class and political elites, in return for macroeconomic stability, capital liberalisation and incremental, market-focused capital reform. Moreover a key concern has been how black empowerment can be reconciled with a coherent state-led antipoverty and developmental strategy that focuses on expanding economic participation by the black poor and the working class. Reframing B-BBEE requires consideration of the tools at our disposal–state owned entities, development finance institutions and industrial financing, employment equity, enterprise development and skills development legislation. These tools must be marshalled in the direction of new products, new market opportunities and industries. The paper considers some of the competition policy and regulatory design hurdles that need to be overcome to achieve these objectives and the policy and regulatory agenda for change, that can underpin this pursuit.","PeriodicalId":45045,"journal":{"name":"Transformation-Critical Perspectives on Southern Africa","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-11-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80159210","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}
