The B-BBEEA provided a legislative framework that, in order to be implemented, required an issuing of a Code of Good Practice. In accordance with Section 9 (1) of the B-BBEEA, the Minister of Trade and Industry, Mandisi Mpahlwa, issued the Codes of Good Practice on Black Economic Empowerment in 2007. The codes provide a standard framework for the measurement of broad-based black economic empowerment across all sectors of the economy.
