Government drops law forcing Eskom and other SOCs to use 100% black-owned suppliers

People are so quick to forget, this is not "making the right decision at last". This is "reversing the wrong decision too late".
Praising the destroyers for trying to fix what they destroyed is illogical.
 
How have they been doing business with the likes of SAP, T systems, oracle, Siemens, ABB, etc if they were required to use only 100% bee suppliers?

Through the use of middlemen who were "compliant"? :cautious:

I know the likes of Siemens and ABB or sap and t systems at the other SOEs dealt direct. Even Oracle. They had some "black" content but they were direct.

Maybe for a lack of any other supplier options?
 
Probably too late for this what with the Guptas having ravaged Eskom and placing the country on the edge of an abyss.
 
Does it even matter if there is pushback, since the concourt already made its ruling? Unless the make a Dali Mpofu U-turn and go to the high court to fight the concourt decision.
 
But what they fail to share is that the winning bidders will be forced to sub contract 30% of the projects/ tender to BEE, well at least that doesn't give 100% control to cadres, its still a win, whether it will be applied is another story. They still have the power to evaluate and adjudicate and mess up scores to ensure that "one" company they want wins the tender.
 
Also why is this only limited to certain SOE's? why not all public entities
