Empowering Businesses for Economic Transformation
At Afri Training, we specialize in helping businesses navigate the complexities of Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE). Our consulting services break down the elements of the BEE scorecard, offering insights and innovative strategies to help businesses align with the amended BEE Codes.
Why B-BBEE Matters
B-BBEE is a cornerstone policy in South Africa, aimed at:
- Broadening the economic base.
- Driving economic growth.
- Mobilizing investments.
- Creating jobs.
- Empowering communities.
By integrating B-BBEE into your business marketing and growth strategies, you not only ensure compliance but also contribute meaningfully to the country’s transformation efforts.

Our team is here to assist at every stage of your B-BBEE journey, from:
- Strategizing a Plan of Action: Tailored solutions to meet your goals.

Understanding the B-BBEE Scorecard
We provide clarity on the five elements of the scorecard:
- Ownership: Measuring black ownership in the entity.
- Management Control: Assessing black participation in leadership roles.
- Skills Development: Evaluating investment in training black employees, unemployed individuals, and funding accredited programmes.
- Enterprise and Supplier Development: Focusing on procurement and developmental contributions to black-owned businesses.
- Socio-Economic Development: Measuring contributions to uplift disadvantaged communities.
Y.E.S. Initiative: Youth Employment Service Support
Creating Opportunities for South Africa’s Youth
South Africa faces a critical youth unemployment crisis, with over one in three young people unemployed. The Youth Employment Service (Y.E.S.) Initiative represents a collaborative effort between the private sector and government to address this challenge.
The Impact of Y.E.S
- Provides youth with valuable skills and work experience.
- Enhances employability and future career opportunities.
- Empowers young people to contribute to the economy.
Benefits for Employers
Participating in the Y.E.S. Initiative enables businesses to achieve up to two levels of enhanced BEE status recognition when youth job creation targets are met, providing a win-win for businesses and communities alike.
