Code 600, dealing with the measurement of the Enterprise Development Element of B-BBEE seeks to measure the extent to which enterprises carry out initiatives aimed at contributing to Enterprise Development.

Saldanha – A strategic location for SMME development
• Saldanha Bay is the largest contributor to the West Coast district’s economic output.
• The municipality is predominantly residential; although about 39% of local households can be classified in the middle income bracket, the majority of people in SaldanhaBay Municipality are relatively poor.
• The local economy is in the midst of a major diversification, from being dependent on fishing and agriculture, to including manufacturing and tourism as major economic sectors.
• Furthermore, Transnet will be investing in expanding the current capacity of the bulk iron ore handling facilities along the Sishen - Saldanha Export Corridor, culminating at the Port of Saldanha.
• This diversification and investment in the region holds the potential for major economic growth and job creation, but the local community may be at risk of not being able to take opportunities in the new economic sectors due to a lack of skills as well as financial and non-financial business support.

Transnet Enterprise Development Hub – Future plans

SOURCE: Team
• The fundamental objective of the Transnet Enterprise Development Hub is to demonstrate Transnet’s commitment to the development of Small, Medium and Micro enterprises (SMMEs) and deliver on Government’s developmental objectives.
• Based on the success of the pilot phase (Carlton Centre), Transnet will be establishing additional ED Hubs across South Africa with a particular focus on the priority/underserved provinces.
• Transnet favours a structured “needs-based” approach when it comes to the roll-out of Enterprise Development Hubs nationally in order to ensure sustainability.
• These ED Hubs may also be utilised to support local business communities in the areas linked to Transnet CAPEX programmes.
• Transnet’s objective is that the ED Hubs are also to be strategically located closely to the identified target market in order to assist with reducing the cost of doing business for SMMEs.
• Initial feasibility studies have highlighted following areas as potential locations for the next Transnet ED Hubs i.e. the Western Cape (Saldahna), Eastern Cape (Mdantsane), Limpopo (Tubatse) and Northern Cape (De Aar).
