B-BBEE has been around for a very long time. Most of us have heard about it, work with it, or isaverse to it.
B-BBEE is South African specific legislation to assist in spreading economic activity to the wider community.

Key portions of legislation exist:
The B-BBEE Act is not forced upon us in the same way that for instance tax legislation would be.
A company can elect to take part in B-BBEE or not. What does, however, happen is that companies regulate each other. If your company is not B-BBEE compliant, it affects your clients B-BBEE scorecard, and through that they may weigh up potentially getting a compliant supplier.
