Introduction

• Without ‘local content’ Gulf of Guinea will “burn”• Without ‘local content’ Africa’s development

remains a dream• Transformation is a business imperative• BEE means growth and development for RSA• Like Malaysia and Norway, procurement could be

– Part of the industrial strategy– Means of diversifying the economy

• We should not be apologetic about our development

• BEE is about real economic revolution• BEE is about economic emancipation

• The first Charter in RSA

• Signed on the 2nd November 2000 at the Liquid Fuels and Petroleum Industry Empowerment Summit

• Being the first means a number of loop holes are evident

• Since signature, some movement but not as envisaged

• Needs a review!

  Description Findings

Summary Findings

Will the BEE partners achieve 25% equity participation by 2010?

None of the BEE parties involved in the petroleum sector deals in question will enjoy 25% equity participation by 2010.

Some Companies ring-fenced some activities from deals

Anticipated Level of Compliance on Equity Participation (2010)

Anticipated level of proportional achievement of the charter target

Most of the BEE parties will each achieve proportional compliance to the 25% target, ranging from approximately 8% to 23%

Some refineries have not even commenced with deals

BEE companies have to shoulder blame as well for effectively ‘fronting’

Assessment of Control  Description

Findings

Level of compliance (current)

Will the company meet a minimum of 25 percent representation across all levels?

Only one company meets the target for control

Expected Level of Compliance (2010)

Control compliance across all levels (2010)

Only one company will fully meet the target by 2010, but the remainder of the entities will meet a proportion of the target, ranging from 43% to 95%

Procurement

• Overall Industry– Total Procurement = R102.9 billion– BEE Procurement = R3.4 billion– 3.3%

• Overall Industry (excl PetroSA)– Total Procurement = R99.5 billion– BEE Procurement = R2.4 billion– 2.4%

• Limitations– Narrow based (Ownership + Management Control)

• Charter defines HDSA companies– BEE status not independently verified

• potential for fronting– Total procurement taken into account

• Exclusions not defined in the Charter

HDSA company definition

• There appears to be confusion about what an HDSA company is…– But Charter is clear

• A company with 25% equity participation is not an HDSA company

Retailing

• Review of retailing did not take into account – the number of sites and locations of

retail stations– nor make a distinction between owners

and operators– nor volume per different group

• Serious problems with survival of BEE retailers– Loss of life savings

DME Mandate

Section 2C of PPAA, 2003 Transformation of the South African petroleum

and liquid fuels industry1) In considering licence applications in terms of

this Act, the Controller of Petroleum Products shall- a) promote the advancement of historically

disadvantaged South Africans; andb) give effect to the Charter.

2) The Controller of Petroleum Products may require any category of licence holder to furnish information, as prescribed, in respect of the implementation of the Charter.

Licensing concern

“It would be unfortunate, for security of supply, if one or major refineries in

South Africa were not granted a licence because they refuse to

conclude an empowerment deal”

BEE as means to an end, not an end by itself…

empowerment of historically-disadvantaged South Africans through increased access to industry procurement opportunities

SASDA

Way forward

• Ownership– Review of some of the transactions

• Sustainability of the transaction need to be seriously evaluated

– Source of finance– Terms of finance– Cost of finance

– Maybe a new approach is required• Control

– Review the basis of determining control in the entities

• Shareholder level and Board level

• Employment Equity– Attention needs to be paid on black women

participation

Way forward

• Procurement– Address fronting problems– HDSA participation across the value chain– Learn from Malaysia and Norway

• Retailing– Increasing of access to HDSAs– Innovative financing mechanism required– HDSA operational capacity improved

• Overall– Clear and measurable targets need to be set

for all the elements of the Charter– Uniform measurement mechanism

• Compare all companies on a same basis

Way forward

• Licensing of liquid fuels operations critical– Use of import and export to promote

HDSA wholesalers– Use of licensing to ensure retailer

survival– Use licensing to promote development

of local suppliers of goods and services• Imperative for infrastructure development• Critical for growth and diversification
