Local Economic Development would like to encourage businesses in the Langeberg area to apply for BEE certificate. A company requires a BEE certificate to prove their level of BBE status. The certificate includes company turnover, the level of black ownership and overall BEE status. Once a business receives its final rating certificate the rating agency will inform the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) of the new B-BBEE Procumbent Recognition level. The BEE empowered mark and logo will be available for your business for use on stationery or other company materials to demonstrate your B-BBEE status. Furthermore BEE status can be a marketing tool as your company will be listed on the website’s BEE directory and will be available to all those searching for BEE compliant suppliers.

Cape Winelands District Municipality (CWDM) together with the Local Economic Development Department of Langeberg Municipality held an event for handing over of certificates on 21 May at Callie De Wet Hall in Robertson. The certificates were a result of a collaboration of CWDM who provided funding, Langeberg Municipality and Stellenbosch Entrepreneur & Enterprise Development (S.E.E.D).
