As debate rages on over the Democratic Alliance's proposal to amend South Africa's Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) framework, some telecoms industry players are warning that the move will undo decades of progress and push black entrepreneurs out of critical industries. Moropa Site Solutions, one of the few black-owned companies in South Africa's tower and network infrastructure space, which has built towers in rural and underserviced communities, says their existence proves that transformation policies can work when applied correctly. Moropa's co-founder, Khanya Shipalana  laments that BEE is often confused with corruption and believes punishing black businesses for what corrupt individuals have done is both unfair and short-sighted. While the company supports efforts to improve transparency and efficiency within the BEE framework, it is cautioning against abandoning it entirely. The DA contends that the BEE policy has failed with only a handful of politically connected individuals becoming wealthy, while the rest of the country has been left behind. The party is pushing for its Public Procurement Amendment Bill to become law, a proposal that would effectively repeal BEE. Elvis Presslin spoke to Sean Shipalana, CEO of Moropa Site Solutions.
