INTRODUCTION AND
BACKGROUND
–
The purpose of this Gazette is to quantify the Rand value committed by
the ICT Sector on the training of black employees.
–
In 2012, Minister of Trade and Industry, Dr. Rob Davis Gazetted the ICT
Sector Codes of Good Practice (ICT Sector Codes) in terms of section
9(1) of the Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment Act (B-BBEE Act,
Act no. 53 of 2003). This Gazette comes after a period of nine years (9)
since the First Draft ICT Charter was released for public comment as part
of the Sector’s commitments to B-BBEE.
–
The ICT Sector Code is binding to all stakeholders operating in the Sector.
–
Skills Development is one of the seven (7) elements of B-BBEE to
promote skills development in the Sector.
OVERVIEW

SECTOR SKILLS
DEVELOPMENT COMMITMENTS
SKILLS DEVELOPMENT PRINCIPLE
–
The Skills Development Code defines the Sector’s financial commitment
towards skills development spend on black employees, agreed targets and
how skills development is calculated and measured.
TRAINING OF BLACK EMPLOYEES
–
The Sector committed to spending at least three percent (3%) of the total
leaviable amount on training black employees in every year = R1.6 billion.
–
The Sector also committed to spending another 0.3% (point three percent) on
disabled black employees R162M.
SECTOR SKILLS
DEVELOPMENT COMMITMENTS
LEARNERSHIPS FOR BLACK EMPLOYEES
– The sector committed to spending at least five percent (5%) of the
total leviable amount on training black employees participating in
Learnerships programmes as a percentage of total employees in
the Sector. This percentage translates to R2.8 billion spend on
training black employees if, for example the total 5% compliance
target was achieved during the 2012/13 fiscal period.
– This is based on the MICT SETA’s total 1% Skills Development
Levy income for period 2012/13 which amounts to R539M
SECTOR SKILLS
DEVELOPMENT COMMITMENTS
– To claim contributions towards skills development a company must;
– comply with the Skills Development Act
– be registered with MICT SETA as an employer
– have developed a Workplace Skills Plan; and implemented programmes
targeted at Priority Skills in the Sector.
– Black employees is defined as Africans, Indians and Coloureds who are
South African by birth of naturalised before 1996.
– Leviable amount the one percent (1%) SETA levy is derived from. The
target amount is calculated by multiplying the SETA levy by the target.
– R 539 733 000 is the sector income from the MICT SETA 2012/13 Annual
report
– R4.6 billion between April 2014-March 2015
STATUS OF THE CODES ON STATE
OWNED ENTITIES
– In terms of the BEE BILL, state owned entities must take into
account and apply any relevant code of good practice in terms of
the Amended Act in – determining criteria for awarding of
incentives, grants and investments schemes in support of
broad-based black economic empowerment.
– The BEE BILL was submitted to the President in November 2013
to sign into law.
