"Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment in South Africa" is a scholarly book that thoroughly examines the economic empowerment strategies and policies of the South African government post-apartheid. Written by Dr. Loyiso Mbabane, an experienced academic, the book provides a comprehensive analysis of the laws and policies introduced by the Mandela government and its successors to address the economic imbalances caused by colonial and apartheid-related inequalities. The author argues that the development of human capital, both in educational institutions and in the workplace and society, is key to sustainable economic empowerment for the disadvantaged black population, including women and youth. The book highlights the BBBEE policies of the South African government between 2003 and 2007 and compares them with international literature on human capital. Additionally, it advocates for a transformational leadership approach as the most promising way to implement BBBEE, in contrast to previous transactional approaches that benefited only a few.
