A recent email from AQRate said the following This is probably the question we are asked the most often. Will these Amended Codes and all Sector Codes really become effective on 1 May 2015. A well known BEE Consultancy recently advised that there would be a delay and this was refuted in the strongest of […]

A rumour is now doing the rounds that the period for comment for the second round of codes has been extended to the full 60 days – I can't find this notice on the DTI's website but it is an embarrassment for them and probably won't be put up. I think we have until 9

The news that the DTI planned to bring verifications in house was sent to me yesterday. I immediately phoned Gerhardus Burger (who is no longer at IRBA) and we had a little chuckle. The problem I had yesterday was that I didn't know who actually said that they would can verification agencies. Lo and behold

The Army Gymnasium in Heidelberg was graced with two special people in 1986, MC Snyman and an Adrian Molalike known as Fourie. MC Snyman is an institution but little is known about Fourie so I'll talk about him. Fourie was an avid fan of Eugene Terreblanche and the AWB. The wonderful contradiction was that he

Thank goodness for Keith Levenstein. Those in the industry know that he knows not what he speaks of, and so he is a blogger's dream. In fact I reckon Hlaudi has already issued him with the very first journalist's licence. His latest press release, which was published by Engineering News , has certainly got tongues

This was sent to me this morning – but not by the DTI or Creative Space Media. It seems as though the DTI is choosing to speak to people that agreed with them – otherwise they would have asked me to contribute. I've left the contact details in the invitation in case you wish to

Now the former is largely undesirable so the latter is unfortunately the method of choice with us law-abiding citizens. I would have thought that litigation would have very serious negative connotations, but an

Commenting on a bill like the new BEE bill could either be knee-jerk as an immediate response or knee-jerk after much deliberation. I chose the latter route. The first thing I realised was that you can't look at the amendments without looking at the original act. And so I was going to laboriously combine the

This notice was issued by Treasury this afternoon regarding the applicability of the PPPFA – it was issued in June but made the front page of www.gov.za today. Reinforces my earlier post about Eskom and PPPFA. NOTICE IN TERMS OF SECTION 1 (iii)(f) OF THE PREFERENTIAL PROCUMENT POLICY FRAMEWORK ACT, 2000 (ACT NO. 5 OF 2000)

As per the November 6 post, it would seem that the Amajuba Municipality is a victim of poor DTI public relations and BEE. This attachment is a must see – but for those of you with coloured monitors I'll write it out for you. (You can see the same announcement on the DTI's home page).
