2.2.1 | Firstly, it has an internal focus that seeks to encourage the DOT (which includes Provincial Departments of Transport) to pursue a transformation agenda according to the broad guidelines set out in the National B-BBEE Strategy and the Transport Public Sector B-BBEE Scorecard. The DOT will use its procurement spending to accelerate B-BBEE objectives amongst suppliers and recipients of subsidies, permits and licenses. It will also make significant investments in human resource development, delivering a cadre of highly-skilled public servants who can make a contribution to the SA economy at large. |
2.2.2 | Secondly, the Sub-Sector Code seeks to encourage transport SOEs and agencies that report to the Department to implement aggressive transformation policies in line with the National B-BBEE Strategy and Transport Public Sector B-BBEE Scorecard. The DOT will also develop technology-based tools and procedures to systematically monitor the progress of these entities in implementing their B-BBEE targets. This will require the DOT to invest additional financial and human resources. |
2.2.3 | Thirdly, the Sub-Sector Code has an external focus because the DOT is the facilitator and the custodian of the process. Stakeholders expect the Department to play a critical role in the Implementation of the Sub-Sector Code. This will require that the Department invests new resources (financial and human) and develops the capacity to meaningfully participate in the new activities and initiatives that the Sub-Sector Code process will spawn. |
To achieve these objectives will require the establishment of an inter-departmental B-BBEE task team, chaired by the Director of B-BBEE, to drive implementation. It will also require all units within the Department to integrate B-BBEE objectives into their policies, programmes and key performance indicators (KPls) used to evaluate managers.
