JOHANNESBURG - Minority lobby group, Solidarity, claims that job creation since 1994 has been minimal, largely due to Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (BBBEE) policies. Solidarity, in collaboration with the Free Market Foundation (FMF), has released a new study outlining the costs associated with BBBEE compliance. Their findings indicate that these policies have contributed to rising unemployment and have hindered significant economic growth since 1994.

JOHANNESBURG - It’s been ten years since the Gauteng government began constructing a Driving Licence Testing Centre (DLTC) in the Vaal, yet the project remains incomplete. Construction of the Sebokeng DLTC began in 2015, with its completion initially planned for the following year. A decade later, its construction is still not finished despite R87 million already spent, including costs for a private security company.

A new study released by the think tank, Free Market Foundation, and minority lobby group, Solidarity, outlined the costs associated with BBBEE compliance. The report claims that the policy has primarily benefited a small group of elite black individuals while neglecting broader objectives.

JOHANNESBURG - The Gauteng government is set to inject an additional R138 million to complete construction of the long-delayed Sebokeng Driver’s License Testing Centre (DLTC) in the Vaal. To date, more than R80 million has been spent on the project, yet the facility has remained non-operational a decade since construction began. Despite having a contracted security company in place, the centre has been vandalised.
