    CHAPTER 1

    INTRODUCTION

    1.1 INTRODUCTIONSince the inception of democracy in 1994, the maineconomic objectives of government have been jobcreation, the elimination of poverty and the reductionof inequality. In an effort to address these inequalitiesandtodriveeconomictransformation,theSouthAfricangovernmentembarkedonacomprehensiveprogrammetoprovidealegislativeframeworkforthetransformationof South Africa’s economy. In 2003, the Broad-BasedBlack Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) Strategy waspublished as a precursor to the B-BBEE Act, No. 53 of2003.ThefundamentalobjectiveoftheActistoadvanceeconomic transformation and enhance the economicparticipation of black people in the South Africaneconomy. The Act provides a legislative framework forthe promotion of B-BBEE, empowering theMinister ofTradeandIndustrytoissueCodesofGoodPracticeandpublishTransformationCharters,andpavingthewayfortheestablishmentoftheB-BBEEAdvisoryCouncil.

    InMay2015,theCodesofGoodPracticewasamended,reducing the number of compliance elements tofive, namely ownership, management control, skillsdevelopment, enterprise and supplier developmentandsocio-economicdevelopment.Theamendedcodesfurther identify priority elements on which companiesshouldconcentrate:ownership, skills development and enterprise and supplier development.

    A B-BBEE scorecard was issued as a Code of GoodPracticeintermsoftheforthcomingenablinglegislation.Thecodeallowsforameasureofflexibilityinorderthatit can be adapted to the particular circumstances ofspecific sectors or enterprises,while at the same timebringingameasureof standardisation to thedefinitionandmeasurementofBEE.Inparticular,itisthemandateof government to apply BEE criteria, as set out in thescorecard,wheneverit:

    • grants a licence to engage in a specific regulatedeconomicactivity,forexample,gamblingormining

    • grants a concession to a private enterprise tooperate an asset or enterprise on behalf of thestate

    • sellsanassetorastate-ownedenterprise• entersintoapublic-privatepartnership• engagesinanyeconomicactivity

    In a 2002 report by TIPS (Trade and Industry PolicyStrategies)titled“TheChallengeofTransformationwithinthe Regulatory Environment of the Gambling IndustryThe Role within the Southern African Environment” itwasstatedthatanumberofparticipants(andso-calledbeneficiaries of the economic empowerment agenda)at the National Gambling Conference in 2002 statedveryclearlythatempowermentfailedwithinthegamingindustryandthatparticipationinthemainstreamoftheindustry remain limited and sparse. The challenges ofskills, technology and high capital investments forcedmostofthekeyrole-playerstobefromtheglobalarenawith lesserparticipationof localplayers in the industrythrough the empowerment initiatives. This conferencewas however hosted before the 2003 B-BBEE Act and2007 Codes of Good Practicewere published and thatnotable changes have been effected in the gamingindustryoverthepast18years.

    Thedriversofaregion/industry’seconomictransformationcan be very diverse, and can include, amongst others,improved governance, strong economic growth,employmentexpansion(directandindirect),stronglocalandforeigninvestment,andpolicyreformsundertakeninearlystagesoftransformation.

    In an extract from National Treasury’s 2017 BudgetReview,itisstatedthat“Growthwithouttransformationwouldonlyreinforcetheinequitablepatternsofwealthinherited from the past. Transformation withouteconomic growthwould be narrow and unsustainable.Government’s objective is not merely to transferownershipofassetsoropportunitiestocontractwiththestate:itistochangethestructureoftheeconomy.Broad-basedtransformationshouldpromotegrowth,mobiliseinvestment, create jobs and empower citizens. Itmustcreatenewresourcestosupportsocialchange,includingassets and livelihoods for themajority, and strengthenSouthAfrica’sconstitutionalfoundations.”

    The above relates to transformation in general andwas not aimed specifically at the gambling industry. Itwouldneverthelessbeimportanttoconsiderthedriversof growth in the gambling industry. It is on this basisthat it is important to understand what drives growthin the gambling market. A holistic understanding oftransformationandgrowthwithintheexistingregulated

    modesofgamblinghasnotbeenassessedintermsoftheCodesofGoodPractice.

    1.2 STUDY RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES

    The rationale for the study is to ultimately advise theMinister on the current status in the South AfricanGambling Industry in termsof Transformation (B-BBEE,inclusive of growth (continuous improvement in sector of gambling mode productivity), shareholding andemployment.Themainaimoftheresearchistodetermineorreflectthecurrentstatusintermsofeconomicgrowth,transformationandeconomicparticipationofHistoricallyDisadvantaged Individuals (HDI’s) and women in theSouth African gambling industry (excluding NationalLottery).

    Thepurposeofthisreport istoassisttheNGBandtheMinisterofTradeandIndustrytounderstandthecurrentsituationwithintheSouthAfricanGambling Industry intermsoftransformation(inclusiveofgrowth).Ultimately,thisreportisaimedataddressingthefollowingaspects:

    1. Determine the current shareholding in terms oflicensedoperators–allregulatedmodes,includingmanufacturing and testing laboratory operations,impact of mergers and acquisitions within thegambling industry and identify possible dominantroleplayersandpractices;

    2. Determine the current economic benefit to HDIlicensees/HDIoperators/HDIowners;

    3. Determine the current levels of transformationin terms of B-BBEE contributor levels from 2000to the promulgation of the B-BBEE Act in 2003and reaching of set targets based on the sectoragreementtoreachlevel2by2015(i.e.whatentitieshaveendeavouredtocomplytotheserequirementsandwhatwerethechallenges,alsoconsideringthefuture taking into account the amended B-BBEEcodes and identification of licensees who arecomplying or not, and what are the challenges,takingintoaccounttherequirementsofB-BBEEActandCodesofGoodPractice,theNGASection45(2)(b)(ii)andSection53(1)(a)(i);

    4. Determine the current economic participationof HDI’s and women in the regulated gamblingindustry;

    5. Determine barriers to entry into the gamblingindustry (gambling operators, manufacturers andtesting laboratory operations – as referred toabove);and

    6. Determine current contribution to the GrossDomestic Product (GDP) with years of interestspecified (FY2000/01 to FY2017/18), and formalemploymentpositionsbrokendownasfollows:

    - Total direct employment includingemploymentmultiplierspermode(e.g.directjobsperRand spentat thevariouselementsofthehorseracingvaluechainfrombreeding,training, courses, operators, governance,breeding,betting,bookmakers),

    - Indirecttotalemployment,and- Taxes and contribution todirect and indirect

    householdincome.

    1.3 RESEARCH DESIGNAs emphasised by the background information andstudy rationale, the current status of transformationandinclusivegrowthwithintheSouthAfricanGamblingIndustryremainsunknown.Broad-BasedBlackEconomicEmpowerment (B-BBEE) isaneconomicandastrategicobjective of the South African Government. However,the gambling industry, to date, does not have its owntransformation charter or industry code, and gamblingoperators are thus measured in terms of the GenericScorecardandCodesofGoodPracticeaspublishedbythe dtic. TheNGB thusmonitors the industryperformancein terms of contributor levels for each province pergamblingmode,basedontheinformationsubmittedbythePLAs.

    Even though it was previously stated at the 2002National Gambling Conference that the industry wasnotconsideredtobetransformedatthatpointintime,thisstatementhasnotbeenofficiallytestedandrevisedin the interim. And it is on this basis that the primaryobjectiveoftheinvestigationistomeasuretheextenttowhich the gambling industry has transformed over thepast18years.

    For thepurposesof thisstudy,and inkeepingwiththestudyobjectives,transformationinthegamblingindustrywill bemeasured on (a) the inclusion of black people1 1 Africans,ColouredsandIndians-(a)whoarecitizensoftheRepublic

    ofSouthAfricabybirthordescent;or(b)whobecamecitizensoftheRepublicofSouthAfricabynaturalisation-before27April1994;oronorafter27April1994andwhowouldhavebeenentitledtoacquirecitizenshipbynaturalisationpriortothatdate.

    in ownership/shareholding structures of entities; and(b) on the participation of black people1 inmanagerialoccupationlevels.

    The key research questions that need to be addressedare:

    • Towhatextentdoblackpeople1participateinthegambling industry? (i.e. economic empowermentandemploymentequity)?

    CHAPTER 2

    POLICYRATIONALE

    This chapter provides a synopsis of relevant policydevelopment and legislationon a national governmentlevel. TheChapterplacesemphasison theapplicabilityof thesenationalpolicies, legislationandtheirstrategicalignment to the growth and transformation of thegamblingindustryinSouthAfrica.

    2.1 THE CONSTITUTION OF THE REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA, 1996 (108 OF 1996)

    The Constitution is the absolute supreme law ofSouthAfrica; any law or conduct inconsistentwith theConstitution is deemed invalid, and the obligationsimposed by it must be fulfilled. The Constitutionassented in 1994 identifies the ability of theprovincialgovernmentstolegislateonmatterswithinthefunctionalareas of ‘casinos, racing, gambling and wagering’,excludinglotteriesandsportspools.

    The Constitution provides in Schedule A Part 4 that aprovincial legislature shall be competent tomake lawsfor the province with regard to casinos, gambling andwagering;andempowersParliament tomakeprovisionin an Act of Parliament for the promotion of uniformnorms and standards applying generally throughoutthe Republic with regard to casinos, racing, gamblingand wagering; and further states that it is necessaryto determine national economic policy and to preventprovinciallawsfrommateriallyprejudicingtheeconomicinterestsofotherprovincesandtheRepublicasawhole.Hence theestablishmentof theNationalGamblingAct(Act33of1996)whichwasrepealedbythecurrentNGA,2004(Act7of2004).

    The Constitution further seeks to address historicinequalities in section 9 (equality clause) by statingthat everyone is equal and that no-one should bediscriminated against, directly or indirectly, in terms ofrace, gender, sex, pregnancy, marital status, ethnic orsocial origin, colour, sexual orientation, age, disability,religion,conscience,belief,culture,languageorbirth.

    The Constitution, as absolute supreme law of South Africa, drives transformation through the equality clause and it seeks to address historic inequalities. It furthermore provides for uniform norms and standards within the gambling industry.

    2.2 NATIONAL GAMBLING ACT, 2004 (Act 7 of 2004)

    TheNationalGamblingActof1996madeprovisionsforthe regulation of gambling activities and promotion ofuniform norms and standards in relation to gamblingthroughout the country. It gave definitions to differentgambling notions, described how the 40 gamblinglicencesshouldbedistributedamongtheprovincesandprovided informationon liability. ItalsoestablishedtheNGBasanorganisation responsible for the supervisionand regulation of the gambling industry. This changein legislation saw the establishment of legal casinos, anationallotteryandotherformsofgambling.

    TheNationalGamblingAct of 1996was later repealedby theNationalGamblingAct 7of 2004 (theAct). TheNationalGamblingAct,2004(Act7of2004)islegislationthatwasadoptedfortheuniformregulationofgamblingactivities in South Africa. The Act has the followingmandates:

    • To provide for the coordination of concurrentnationalandprovinciallegislativecompetenceovermatters relating to casinos, racing, gambling andwagering

    • Thecontinuedregulationofthosemattersforthatpurpose to establish certain uniform norms andstandards applicable to national and provincialregulation, and licensing of certain gamblingactivities

    • The creation of additional uniform norms andstandardsapplicablethroughouttheRepublic;andincidentalthereto

    TheNGAstatesinPartE,Section(53)that:

    (1) When considering an application for a licence,other than an employment licence, or whenconsidering an application for the transfer of alicence,aprovinciallicensingauthority—(a) mustconsiderthecommitments,ifany,made

    by the applicant or proposed transferee inrelationto—(i) blackeconomicempowerment;or(ii) combatingtheincidenceofaddictiveand

    (b) must consider the potential socio-economicimpact on the community of the proposedlicence;and

    (c) may impose reasonable and justifiableconditions on the licence to the extentnecessary toaddress thematters referred toinparagraphs(a) and (b).

    (2) At least once every year after the issuance of alicence other than an employment licence, theprovincial licensing authority that issued thatlicence—(a) must review the commitments considered

    in terms of subsection (1)(a) and theachievements of the licensee in relation tothosecommitments;and

    (b) may impose further or different reasonableand justifiable conditions on the licence tothe extent necessary to address themattersreferredtoinsubsection(1)(a) and (b).

    The National Gambling Act, 2004 (Act 7 of 2004) thus prescribes black economic empowerment as a consideration for regulators when issuing/transferring a license, but does not prescribe any targets/minimum requirements.

    2.3 THE BROAD-BASED BLACK ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT Act 53 of 2003 AND CODES OF GOOD PRACTICE

    TheBroad-basedBlackEconomicEmpowermentActof2003(Act53of2003)istoestablishalegislativeframeworkforthepromotionofblackeconomicempowerment;toempower theMinister to issue codes of good practiceandtopublishtransformationcharters;toestablishtheBlackEconomicEmpowermentAdvisoryCouncil;andtoprovideformattersconnectedtherewith.

    The objectives of this Act are to facilitate broad-basedblackeconomicempowermentby:

    • promoting economic transformation in order toenablemeaningfulparticipationofblackpeopleintheeconomy

    • achieving a substantial change in the racialcomposition of ownership and managementstructuresandintheskilledoccupationsofexistingandnewenterprises

    • increasing the extent to which communities,workers, cooperatives and other collectiveenterprises own and manage existing and newenterprisesandincreasingtheiraccesstoeconomicactivities,infrastructureandskillstraining.

    This act was promulgated in to law in 2003 during atime inwhich the implementation of BEEwas facing acritical stage especially regarding theway inwhich theprivate sector approached economic transformationandempowerment.Therefore,thegazetteoftheCodesofGoodPractice (CoGP) inFebruary2007wasadirectresponsetotheneedforredefiningempowermentfromanarrow-basedtowardsabroad-basedapproach.

    Although a nationwide consultative process with keystakeholderswereundertaken,thereleaseoftheCodeswasprecededbythereleaseoftheDraftCodeswhichwereextensively published for public comments and inputs.Despite this, certain aspects of the Codes presentedcertain interpretation challenges given the various andoftencontestedinterestsintheimplementationofBBBEE.SincetheCodesaregenerallyavehicleandmechanismthroughwhichvariousempowermentobjectivesare tobe achieved, the underlying provisions, principles andmeasurementtoolswillalwaysbesubjectedtoavarietyofscrutinyanddebate.Toacertainextent,thisresultedinthedelayinimplementingB-BBEEasmanycompaniesarguedthattheywerereceivingconflictingadviceaboutthetrueintensionsoftheCodes.Inviewofthis,the dtic released an interpretive guide that sought to furtherexplain certain provisions and principles and providemoreguidanceaboutthetrueintentionsoftheCodes.

    The interpretive guide however presented morechallenges than was envisaged. Not only was its legalstatusa subjectof legal challengebycertainsectorsofstakeholders,somecontentsoftheguidealsopresentedevenmoreuncertaintiesandconfusion.This continuedtothreatenthecredibilityoftheCOGP.

    The Act was positioned as soft legislation with noconsequences for non-compliance, and therefore hadto be strengthened to ensure effective and consistentimplementationandreportingacrosstheeconomy.It isonthisbasisthattheB-BBEEActof2003wasamendedin2013byAct46of2013.ThepurposeofamendingtheActwere:

    The most significant amendment for purposes of thepresentdiscourse is thatSection10 (2013AmendmentAct, Act 46 of 2013) now mandates organs of stateandpublicentitiestoapplytheCodeswhen, inter alia,determiningcriteriafortheissuingoflicensesandotherauthorisations foraneconomicactivity in termsofanylaw.Thisisasignificantdeparturefromtheprescriptsofthe2003B-BBEEAct,whichonlyrequiredorgansofstatetotaketheB-BBEEActintoaccount“asfarasreasonablypossible”.ItprescribesthattheB-BBEEActshallprevailintheeventofaprovisionofthesaidActbeinginconflictwithotherlegislation.Italsoprovidesforthecancellationof any contract entered into by an organ of state orpublicentitywhere itwasawardedonaccountof falseinformation relating to the B-BBEE status of the othercontractingparty.(LCF,2014).

    The B-BBEE Amendment Act, 2013 (Act 46 of 2013) mandates organs of state and public entities to apply the Codes of Good Practice and Generic Scorecard for determining criteria for the issuing of licenses, thereby encouraging transformation.

    2.4 THE PROMOTION OF EQUALITY AND PREVENTION OF UNFAIR DISCRIMINATION ACT, 2000 (ACT 4 OF 2000), AS AMENDED

    The Promotion of Equality and Prevention of UnfairDiscriminationAmendmentAct, 2002 (Act 52 of 2002)(also referred to as the Equality Act) endeavours tofacilitatethetransitiontoademocraticsociety,unitedinitsdiversity,markedbyhumanrelationsthatarecaring,compassionate,andguidedbytheprinciplesofequality,fairness, equity, social progress, justice, human dignityandfreedom.TheobjectivesofthisActare:

    (b) To give effect to the letter and spirit of theConstitution,inparticular–(i) Theequalenjoymentofallrightsandfreedoms

    byeveryperson;(ii) Thepromotionofequality;(iii) The values of non-racialism and non-sexism

    containedinSection1oftheConstitution;(iv) The prevention of unfair discrimination and

    protectionofhumandignityascontemplatedinSections9and10oftheConstitution;

    (v) Theprohibitionofadvocacyofhatred,basedon race, ethnicity, gender and religion,that constitutes incitement to cause harm

    as contemplated in Section 16(2)(c) of theConstitutionandSection12ofthisAct;

    (c) Toprovideformeasurestofacilitatetheeradicationof unfair discrimination, hate speech andharassment, particularly on the grounds of race,genderanddisability;(d) To provide for procedures for the

    determinationof circumstancesunderwhichdiscriminationisunfair;

    (g) To set out measures to advance personsdisadvantagedbyunfairdiscrimination;

    (h) To facilitate further compliance withinternational law obligations including treatyobligations in terms of, amongst others, theConventionontheEliminationofAllFormsofRacial Discrimination and the Convention oftheEliminationofAllFormsofDiscriminationagainstWomen.

    ThisActdoesnotapply,however,toanypersontowhomandtotheextenttowhichtheEmploymentEquityAct,1998(Act55of1998)applies.Section7oftheactstatesthat no person may unfairly discriminate against anypersononthegroundofrace,includingSection7(b)theengagementinanyactivitywhichisintendedtopromote,or has effect of promoting exclusivity, based on race;and Section 7(e) the denial of access to opportunities,includingaccesstoservicesorcontractualopportunitiesfor rendering services for consideration, or failing totake steps to reasonably accommodate the needs ofsuchpersons.Sections8and9furtherelaboratesontheprohibitionofunfairdiscriminationbasedonthegroundsofgenderanddisabilityrespectively.

    The Promotion of Equality and Prevention of Unfair Discrimination Act, 2000 (Act 4 of 2000), as amended, promotes transformation in that it prohibits unfair discrimination against persons based on especially race, gender and disability – across the entire value chain of the gambling industry, as is evident and highlighted by the case of Maharaj vs Gold Circle (Pty) Ltd2.

    2.6 NATIONAL GAMBLING POLICY, 2016

    The National Gambling Act, 2004 is premised on theNationalGamblingPolicy,2016. It is throughthepolicythattheoutcomeoftheworkoftheNGBmanifestsbytheeffectandqualityofitsadviceandrecommendations,amongstothers,mattersofnationalpolicyandlegislativechanges relating to gambling. The policy is premisedpartlyontheGamblingReviewCommission(GRC)Report,reportsfromParliamentontheGRCReport,stakeholderengagement,benchmarksandexcursionconducted.

    The Wiehahn Commission set principles, whichbecame the yardstick for the national gambling policyas enshrined in the National Gambling Act. The policyobjectiveswereanalysedtodetermineiftheyhadbeenachievedandifnotidentifyanygapsthatstillexist.Theresults raised a concern that the achievements havenot improvedtherepresentationson theownershipbypreviouslydisadvantagedand femalepersons. Progresswasreportedtobemainlyontheemploymentandseniormanagementpositions.

    There are key policy proposals that are intended toenhancethecurrentlegislativeframework,thefollowingarethekeyelementsoftheseproposals:

    • Regulatory structuresand frameworkwhich looksattheeffectivenessofthecouncilandtheroleoftheNGB

    • Theeffectiveregulationofcasinos

    • AwellregulatinglicensingprocessforLPMs

    • TheneedtocreateanationalframeworktoregulateEBTs

    • Statutory regulation of betting by horse racingoperatorsandbookmakers

    • Provisionsconcerningtheunlawfulwinningtrust

    • RecommendationthattheNGRmakeprovisionforsocialimpactminimisation

    • Responsibility towards penalties of perpetualtransgressors in respect of illegal gambling (i.e.onlinegambling)

    • Economic and employment benefits within thegamblingsector

    • Nointroductionofnewformsofgambling

    The Policy document states that all forms of gamblingoperators must comply with the Employment EquityAct, the Labour Relations Act, the Basic Conditions ofEmploymentActandtheB-BBEEActandCodes.

    The Gambling Policy promotes transformation in that it calls for a conducive environment to be created for new role players to enter the industry to promote transformation within the gambling industry and that all associations must be recognised and must be given an opportunity to affiliate with the regulatory bodies where possible. It states that all provinces must strive for harmonious implementation of employment and economic equity legislations.

    ECONOMICPARTICIPATIONANDTRANSFORMATION IN THE SOUTH AFRICAN GAMBLING INDUSTRY

    3.1 INTRODUCTIONThepurposeofthisChapteristoobtainanunderstandingof the current levels of transformation and economicparticipationofHDIsintheregulatedgamblingindustry.TheWiehannCommissionReportintroducedsettargetsforthesectortoreachLevel2statusby2015.However,inadditiontotheB-BBEELevelcompliance,theGamblingBill of 2016 states the following: “It is important forB-BBEEcompliancetonotonlyensurelevelcompliancebut to ensure that there is significant participation ofhistorically disadvantaged individuals.” This statement/requirementassetout intheGamblingBill iscurrentlynot being focused on, with gambling operations onlybeingexpectedtoreportontheir levelcomplianceandnotondetailedemploymentfigures”.Thisisaconcernsasthisopensupopportunitiesforfrontingpractices.

    However,theEmploymentEquityActemploysaffirmativeactionprovision toemployerswhoemploy50ormorestaffmembersorwhoseannualturnoverismorethanthatsetdowninSchedule4oftheAct.Thestatisticsreflectedin the remainder of this section have been obtainedon this basis (employment equity reports) through theDepartment of Labour. These statistics are used as arepresentationofthecurrentstateoftransformationandeconomic participation by Black Employees and BlackFemaleEmployeesinthegamblingindustry.

    3.2 DEFINING TRANSFORMATIONThe main aim of the research (as outlined in Chapter1 Section 2) is to determine and reflect the currentstatusintermsofeconomicgrowth,transformationandeconomic participation of Historically DisadvantagedIndividuals (HDI’s) and women in the South Africangamblingindustry(excludingNationalLottery).ThetermsHDI andBEE (BlackEconomicEmpowerment) areusedinterchangeablyintheindustry–forexample,operatorsare required to report on B-BBEE levels to regulators,

    but yet somePLA license conditions specify targets forHDI inclusion inownershipstructuresandoccupationallevels.

    It is therefore important to firstly understand thedifferencebetweenHDIandB-BBEE,toultimatelyderivea definition of transformation for the purposes of thisstudy.

    “Historically Disadvantaged Individual (HDI)3” aredefinedbythePreferentialProcurementPolicyActasaSouthAfricancitizen-

    (d) who,duetotheapartheidpolicythathadbeeninplace,hadnofranchiseinnationalelections,priortotheintroductionoftheConstitutionoftheRepublicofSouthAfrica,1983(ActNo110of1983)ortheConstitutionoftheRepublicofSouthAfrica,1993(ActNo200of1993) (‘the InterimConstitution”);and/or

    (e) whoisafemale;and/or(f) whohasadisability:

    Provided that a person who obtained South AfricancitizenshiponorafterthecomingtoeffectoftheInterimConstitution,isdeemednottobeanHDI.

    The problem with this definition from the PreferentialProcurementRegulationsisthatitisverybroad.Almostthe only people who are not defined as historicallydisadvantaged are adult white males. HDI’s receiveconsiderable preference when government contractsare awarded. In May 2010, the government began toput inplacenewprocurementrulesthatwouldchangethe definition to include only black people and toreducefrontingbycompanies– fromtheretheB-BBEEAmendment Act and Codes of Good Practice. TheseCodesarecurrentlybeingusedbygamblingoperatorstoreportonB-BBEElevels.

    For thepurposesof thisstudy,and inkeepingwiththestudyobjectives,transformationinthegamblingindustrywill bemeasured on (a) the inclusion of black people1 in ownership/shareholding structures of entities; and(b) on the participation of black people1 inmanagerialoccupationlevels.

    To investigate the transformation in managerialoccupation levels, the employment equity figures ofa sample of companies in each of the four gamblingsectors were analysed in terms of compliance to theManagementControlScorecardStatementintheCodesofGoodPractice.
