Value Proposition
Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) is the deliberate socio-economic intervention strategy and policy of the South African Government designed to re-address the imbalances of the past and to facilitate the participation of black communities in the mainstream economy.

Designed according to the Broad-based BEE Framework, the enterprise development initiatives of SABEF facilitates entry of member SMMEs into the mainstream economies, focusing on the following four critical pillars of Broad-based BEE:
  • Ownership
  • Skills Development
  • Enterprise Development
  • Preferential Procurement

Our enterprise development initiatives provide SMMEs with operational infrastructure, access to funding and business support that enables them to compete in prominent sectors such as tourism, mining, agro-processing, manufacturing, technology, infrastructure development, power and renewable energy to name but a few. SABEF strategy aims to grow membership base by at least fifty percent per annum to reach at least 500 000 SMME Members by year 2020.
