Tag: Beneficiary Trusts

At its origin, Broad Based Black Economic Empowerment (BBBEE) was intended to fulfil several critical objectives linked to transformation in the workplace, stemming from the immensely negative impact that Apartheid had wreaked on Black Civil Society in South Africa.

BBBEE Employees are not entitled. Often, they are just COMPROMISED. A major problem is developing in companies which have embraced BBBEE, where Employee Ownership or Beneficiary Trusts have been created. Employees who happen to also be BBBEE Beneficiaries, sometimes misunderstand that they are ordinary employee’s and do not have a favoured, preferred or somehow entitled status, in-comparison with other employee’s in the company.
