Finance minister Enoch Godongwana has clarified government's position on new regulation changes for BEE procurement in South Africa.
Opposition parties, civil society and business groups have welcomed the government's move to lift South Africa's national state of disaster after almost two years - but almost all of them caution that the government has not totally relinquished control.
Businesses group Sakeliga says companies and individuals should refrain from supporting the new state of disaster regulations proposed by Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (Cogta) minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma.
