Technical

This Portfolio is managed by Julia Nzimande and a sub-committee of the Board including Kate Moloto and David Ndou and its primary function is engaging with the dti, SANAS, IRBA, SAQA, the B-BBEE Commissioner and Regulator on all matters relating to technical aspects of BEE verification.

The primary function of this Committee is to bring about the consistent interpretation and application of the B-BBEE Act and the Codes of Good Practice and thereby create certainty in an otherwise uncertain legislative regime. The Technical Committee attempts to meet once a month on certain interpretational issues that has been prioritised out of the national workshops held during the last 12 months with Members, as well as from technical queries received continuously from Members.

It is our goal to influence the legislative process to bring about an amendment to the Codes that could address the interpretational uncertainties mentioned, through the abovementioned process. It is not the function of this committee nor ABP to effect policy changes to the Act or the Codes. This function vests with the dti and ultimately the legislature.

A lack of resources currently prohibits us from answering all technical queries immediately and as they arise. We are currently planning a web-based porthole to address commonly asked questions and to stimulate discussion.
