[Jan]

Eskom no longer forced to use 100% black-owned suppliers

Eskom, Denel, Transnet, and other state-owned companies (SOCs) can no longer disqualify suppliers from consideration for tenders if they don't meet black economic empowerment (BEE) criteria.

Sunday newspaper Rapport reports that finance minister Enoch Godongwana published new legislation for the Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act on Friday, 4 October 2022.

Are we finally making good decisions in this country?

Finally, the moment we've all been waiting for. We're so f***ed that we have to do the responsible thing.

Corruption approved. Where do I send my kfc buckets?

Lol this ain’t shyt, SOC’s still need to change their internal procurement procedures. Won’t change much most SOC’s procurement staff are plagued with corrupt cronies

 

[Mystic Twilight]

Cue in protests from <insert your favourite opposition> because they weren't consulted.

Sleeping. Rugby. Braai. Kam hare. NG kerk...

 

[mypetcow]

Good. Let’s hope that leads to some competition and to better purchasing prices for Eskom

 

[r00igev@@r]

Eskom never ever bought from a black owned business. All it did was buy from a black middleman who doubled the price of the service or product.
