- With a national unemployment rate of 32.7%, South Africa is staring at a labor crisis. And once again, its Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (BBBEE) policy has come under scrutiny. Introduced to redress the apartheid-era inequalities across political, social and economic spheres, BBBEE remains a cornerstone of the South African government’s transformation agenda. But even after years of controversy, the policy remains a source of intense debate today. On this episode of #AfricaInFocus, Ongezwa Zibi unpacks what BBBEE actually is, how the policy works, and why opinions remain deeply divided more than two decades after its introduction.
