  2. Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) is a program launched by the South African government to redress the inequalities of Apartheid by giving previously disadvantaged groups (black Africans, Coloureds, Indians and some Chinese[1]--who are SA citizens) economic opportunities previously not available to them. It includes measures such as Employment Equity, skills development, ownership, management, socioeconomic development and preferential procurement.
  3. The transport sector has been highlighted by the government as a key contributor to South Africa's competitiveness in global markets. It is increasingly being seen a crucial engine for economic growth and social development.
  4. 99.9% digital and includes the latest in fixed-line, wireless and satellite communication, the country has the most developed telecoms network in Africa. South Africa ranked 34th in the world in terms of fixed-line telephony, with over 4.3-million fixed-line connections.   46.4-million mobile users in South Africa, ranking the country 26th in terms of subscriber numbers.
