Q: Question: Does ERWAT apply Broad Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE)?

Answer: Yes. To be considered for the preference points in respect of the supply of goods, services or construction works, an original or certified copy of B-BBEE certificate or letter of exemption must be supplied to ERWAT with the completed application form in order to update your supplier data and if not received, your Preferential Status will be regarded as zero. Note should be taken of the newly gazetted B-BBEE Code of Good Practice under section 9(1) of the Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment Act, 2003 (Act No. 53 of 2003) as amended and promulgated in Government Gazette No 36928 on 11 October 2013.
