On today's BizNews Briefing, President Ramaphosa defended BEE in the NCOP, calling it vital for growth and a "national project," dismissing claims it hinders investment. He proposed an "equity equivalent" model for firms like Starlink to invest while prioritising transformation. IRR’s Marius Roodt labelled Ramaphosa’s BEE stance "empty rhetoric," advocating economic growth over redistribution. Dr. Corné Mulder criticised BEE as punishing future generations, urging equal opportunities. Afrikaner delegates met White House officials to rebuild ties. Accounting firms eye IPOs, and the Springboks face the Barbarians this weekend, 30 years after their 1995 Rugby World Cup triumph.
