GUEST: Dr Nthabiseng Moleko – Chair, National Empowerment Fund

South Africa’s economy cannot grow on exclusion and Dr Nthabiseng Moleko argues that B-BBEE remains the country’s most powerful instrument to correct structural injustice and unlock shared prosperity.

In this conversation, the NEF chair unpacks why empowerment is not a political slogan or a compliance tick-box, but a non-negotiable pillar of economic renewal. With more than 12.6 million South Africans outside formal economic participation and private investment at historic lows, Moleko warns that South Africa’s growth model has failed and must be fundamentally reimagined.
