ABOUT
There are still too few Black Executives occupying management positions in South African businesses, thwarting the realisation of impactful economic transformation in the country. This is despite investment in skills development and the growing Black ownership of companies, as highlighted in the findings of the inaugural Sanlam Gauge report on sectoral B-BBEE performance that was launched during the Sanlam Gauge Digital Conference in May this year.
