BEE makeover - Is Tau’s Transformation Fund glow-up enough?

Trade and Industry Minister Parks Tau’s dream of realising a massive voluntary fund to uplift small black businesses gets a reality check in this edition of The Lead. Specialist journalist Carol Paton tells us that Tau has revised this concept to include a key incentive for big business to help build the R100-billion chest. Later, in our trending topic, political silly season’s in full swing with a top Cape ANC man defecting to the DA. Finally, the Cullinan diamond was cut up, not for any South African’s benefit, in our regular On This Day in SA History segment at the end of the show.
