BEE forwarders From Nangu’s investigations, seven of the major forwarding companies in the Council of 10 (a group established to draft the sectoral BEE charter) have BEE elements within their organisations. “They look at this as enterprise development,” he told FTW, “but we regard a BEE located in a big company as just fronting.” The issue is about transforming traditional companies, Nangu added. Although the BEE group has different views on the charter, it has met with the Council of 10 and settled the issue. They have similarly come to an agreement with the department of transport - which is the overseeing authority. “But,” said Nangu, “issues outside the charter still need to be addressed.”
