B-BBEE: FIVE SCORECARD STATEMENTS TO BE AMENDED, WITH DEFINITIONS & INTERPRETATIONS
- 29 January 2026
- Broad-based Black Economic Empowerment
- SA Legal Academy
In terms of the 2003 Broad-based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) Act, as amended in 2013, the Department of Trade, Industry & Competition has gazetted notices calling for input by 30 March 2026 on proposed changes to five scorecard code statements – along with the schedule of related interpretations and definitions.
Once finalised and in force, the revised statements will:
- provide for the proposed transformation fund’s B-BBEE recognition under the scorecard’s enterprise and supplier development element, and
- adjust scorecard weighting points accordingly.
At the time of writing, the department had yet to issue a media statement on the amendments envisaged – or their practical implications for what are expected to be the revamped transformation fund proposals to which they have been linked in media reports.
- draft amended statement 000 (B-BBEE measurement framework: general principles and generic scorecard)
- draft amended statement 004 (B-BBEE measurement framework: scorecards for specialised enterprises)
- draft amended statement 103 (ownership: recognition of equity equivalents for multinationals)
- draft amended statement 400 (general principles for measuring enterprise and supplier development)
- draft amended statement 600 (framework for qualifying small enterprises)
- draft amended Schedule 1 [revised interpretation and definitions, as informed by the Act’s amended sub-section 9(1) (codes of good practice)]
- revised Schedule 1 in place since May 2019
- codes in place since March 2015 (with addtional empowering supplier criterion)
- Act, as amended in 2013 (SAFLII)
- March 2025 transformation fund draft concept document
- Minister Parks Tau’s June 2025 article on the proposed transformation fund (SAnews)
