OPINION | BEE must benefit all South Africans, not Politicians — The ANC says they are open to discussing changes to Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) as it is now. **Image:** *ParliamentofRSA*

What was meant to empower disadvantaged South Africans has instead become a tool for politicians and their close allies to enrich themselves.

BEE was never meant to benefit a few politically connected individuals.

It was meant to open opportunities for all South Africans — especially the poor, the unemployed, and small business owners who continue to struggle every day.

Review current BEE system

FOSA calls for the complete review or scrapping of the current BEE system. South Africa needs a fair and transparent economic empowerment model that truly benefits the majority, not just a handful of elites.
