The Black Business Council (BBC) on Monday welcomed the draft reviewed Broad Based Black Economic Empowerment Charter for the South African mining and minerals industry, saying it embodied the objectives of effective and practical radical transformation necessary to stimulate the black industrialisation objectives of the National Development Plan. This follows the publishing of the draft charter for public comments by Minister of Mineral Resources Mosebenzi Zwane ten days ago, giving interested and affected parties until May 31 to submit written inputs and comments.
