DA invites public comment on bill to repeal B-BBEE Act

# The South African public has 30 days to comment on the DA’s proposed Public Procurement Amendment Bill, aimed at repealing the Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment Act. The DA seeks to replace race-based requirements with an outcome-focused approach to promote efficiency and broader economic inclusion. Party officials argue the Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment Act has enriched a few while leaving millions in poverty. The bill has drawn criticism from the ANC and GOOD Party, who warn it could undermine efforts to address economic inequality.
