New draft BEE Codes of Good Practice
Thursday, November 15, 2012
Revised draft codes of good practice for the measurement of black economic empowerment (BEE) were recently published by the Minister of Trade & Industry for public comment. If the changes proposed in the new draft codes are adopted following the public consultation process, the way in which businesses’ relative BEE levels and BEE scores are determined will change. The Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment Act, 2003 sets out the framework for the manner in which BEE must be measured. The details of the measurement process are supplied by codes of good practice published by the Minister in terms of the Act. The Minister published the first general codes of good practice in 2007. These general codes are used to measure BEE in businesses operating in sectors for which no sector-specific code has been issued. The draft revised codes propose to amend the current general codes.

Passive infrastructure in a telecommunications network includes electrical or fibre optic cables, masts, pylons, poles and ducts, physical co-location space on the ground, towers, roof tops and other premises, monitoring equipment, electrical power supply, air conditioning equipment, alarm systems, manholes and conduits. In short, passive network infrastructure is all the infrastructure and network equipment which is not used for the actual transmission and reception of radio signals.
