Interestingly this is quite a popular post on this blog. There are 85 VAs operating in the country – excluding suspended and withdrawn ones. And here’s the breakdown per city The data used here is based on […]
It’s time to update the number of Verification Agencies – 85 Read More »
Let's say you are a wide boy from Durban who has an auditing qualification and talks up a good story. You call up a certain BEE consultant with a view to gain all his business. A conversation ensues. The BEE consultant being the disagreeable and arrogant fuck that he is tells you what he is

Unfortunately my tirade against SANAS brutality has not ended. I'm amused by this but not by the unchecked power that SANAS wields over the economy through their verification agencies. I am going to write to the dtic about this, my concern is that SANAS is amending codes in fact. It doesn't matter that it's not
SANAS – oh SANAS, where is thoust legitimacy? Read More »
It's overwhelming, Almost rivals bolshie bob. I've included the whole email which is now out of PAJA's reach. At least the infamous and roundly detested Dees' details are there for all to see. I always found Yuneal to be a decent bloke on the phone. I thought he was largely ineffectual. But I'm not hearing
Can you imagine being Yuneal and leaving such a legacy Read More »
None of us will forget 2020 and it's unlikely that 2021 will be forgotten either. I do take comfort in a few realities The ANC is fundamentally incompetent and corrupt and that Cyril cannot bring them into line We can be grateful that it's Cyril who is president (but I doubt he's actually in charge).
It’s 2021 – and so what. SANAS is the dtic’s problem and by implication ours Read More »
Before I go into the number of VAs (79 of them) there is something else that needs to be discussed. And it's the dti and their BEE codes. The economy is now comfortably in a recession, productivity is decreasing substantially because of the isolation. Small businesses (which are the backbone of the economy – that's
We need a dti holiday and accredited Verification Agencies (March 2020) Read More »
This was sent to me by my old friend Obed. I wonder whether this wasn't as a result of yesterday's post (it probably was). Considering the number of requests and correspondences in reference to the COVID-19 pandemic, SANAS has reviewed the R47-02 procedures in order to accommodate B-BBEE Verification Agencies. In terms of Paragraph 18.1.1
It's so obvious – every BEE verification agency is going to get massive non-conformances because of the Coronavirus. I can just see DeeStructive telling their frightened agencies that they should have foreseen Coronavirus and done all their verification before it became a global crisis. DeeStructive will probably do this over Skype because his job is
Carry on Corona, will SANAS notice that things are not normal Read More »
If you read my diatribe about Benito in the last post, you would have witnessed a pissed off author who can't spell polyphagous correctly (thanks Harry for pointing this out). There was a subsequent conversation with Benito. The top analyst was insistent that he apologises to me for his conduct. I had a major problem
Verification agencies – not all are fascists, the air with Benito is cleared Read More »
But that doesn't mean that they need to be fascists. I'm quite sure that the verification agency in question is expecting this blog post, I won't give them the satisfaction of naming them, needless to say I won't recommend them and will most certainly never use them again. Like most consultants I tend to use
Verification agencies – the necessary evil Read More »
