FINALIZATION OF THE
BASELINE STUDY
First priority of the CSCC is the finalization of the baseline report on the
status of BBBEE in the construction sector since the gazette of the Sector
Code in 2009.
This is important to ensure the following :
•
That the CSCC has reliable data to verify whether there has been
progress data in empowerment in the Construction sector.
•
To enable the CSCC to engage with the DTI on areas of alignment
with the new codes based on factual data in the sector.
•
To ensure that the annual reports sent to the dti and the BBBEE
advisory council are substantive and factual.
•
To identify barriers to transformation and investigate rectification
measures.
•
To ensure that there is accurate implementation and prioritization
of identified trends.
COMPLIANCE TARGETS
Gazetted in June 2009, the construction sector code became effective, legally
binding and applicable in the sector from the date of gazette.
In order to ensure continual progress on transformation within the sector,
they were legislated with two measurement periods.
The implications is that for the second measurement period ,targets on
Employment Equity, Management Control and Preferential Procurement have
increased significantly .
The two periods in question are :
First measurement period
0 – 4 years
( 5 June 2009 – 5 June 2013)
Second measurement period
5 – 7 years
(6 June 2013 – 5 June 2017)
This means that from this year, increased targets are now applicable for
Companies to enjoy the same scorecard rating as last year.
CHALLENGES IN THE
CONSTRUCTION SECTOR
Response to the need to ensure inclusivity and increase the competitiveness of
the sector.
Sense of urgency in substantive implementation.
-
Substance must take precedence over formalities
-
Alignment of the targets with national priorities
-
Education > Decent Jobs > Economic Participation
Vigilance and capacity to monitor the implementation.
Vigilance and competence to interrogate the reports at company level.
Vigilance and capacity to detect collusive and price fixing practices.
