Our Milestones

2003to date

Enactment and Iteration of the B-BBEE Legislative Framework

The BBC was instrumental in lobbying for and shaping the Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) Act of 2003. Following its enactment, the council continuously engaged the Department of Trade, Industry, and Competition (DTIC) to tighten legislation, contributing directly to the structural shifts seen in the 2013 B-BBEE Amendment Act and the revised 2014 Codes of Good Practice, which pivoted focus toward productive black entrepreneurship.

2007

Establishment of Sector-Specific Transformation Hubs

Recognizing that highly technical industries lacked transformation, the BBC expanded its institutional footprint by establishing dedicated sector arms—most notably the Black Business Council in the Built Environment (BBCBE) in 2007. This milestone unified black professionals across construction, engineering, and infrastructure to demand a fair share of public and private infrastructure procurement. [1]

2014–2015

Conceptualization of the Black Industrialists Programme

The BBC successfully lobbied the South African government to move beyond passive equity transactions and focus on manufacturing and production. This resulted in the launch of the Black Industrialists Programme by the DTIC. The program provides direct capital, funding, and regulatory support to scale up black-owned manufacturing enterprises.

2022

Securing Direct Presidential Advisory Influence

In June 2022, the BBC secured permanent institutional influence at the highest level of state transformation policy when its Chief Executive Officer, Kganki Matabane, was officially appointed by President Cyril Ramaphosa to serve on the Presidential B-BBEE Advisory Council. This council directly guides the presidency on accelerating economic transformation.
