Ownership cannot be the only aspect of transformation
Ownership cannot be the only aspect of transformation. As soon as you mention black economic empowerment (BEE), people invariably focus on only two elements, being ownership and management control. The policy actually has seven elements that should be considered.

This is valuable but it does not exclusively meet the holistic objectives of Broad-based BEE.
