In the context of BBBEE, black persons are understood to be African, Indian or Coloured South African citizens .
BBBEE levels are a measure of your company’s compliance with black empowerment in terms of ownership, management control, skills development, enterprise and supplier development, and socio-economic development. The points you earn on your BBBEE scorecard determine your level.
