26. Is BEE advancing in the Western Cape? • Large number of unemployed, but WC unemployment rate is about 19% compared to the national average of about 30%.

27. Is BEE advancing in the Western Cape? • Lower LSMs still occupied by black people– indicates little economic interest • Still a lack of meaningful BEE

28. However, the following requires investigation….for conclusiveness • Success of Western Cape government’s preferential procurement – pendulum shifting towards blacks • Is the licensing and quota system furthering BEE? – deeper problem of capacity to handle fishing quotas • The status of staff training in the Western Cape? Increasing towards blacks • Is SMME development furthering BEE in the Western Cape?

29. The solution…. • Grow the WC economy • Organic growth • Capture from other provinces
