We Celebrate BEE

It is always a privilege and pleasure to be able to conduct business in one’s own country of birth. And to be in the fortunate position to be able to do so.

A host of important factors contribute to the privilege we have of trading in an environment familiar to us, and towards being able to do so freely and without hindrance.
Factors such as a stable economy, a safe country which is at peace with the world, an economically active, vibrant and competitive workplace and an internationally respected and accepted market.

South Africa, as the economic and socio political ‘big brother’ of the African continent, and newest member of BRICS (which firmly entrenches us as one of the world’s major emerging markets), is indeed a sought after arena for all those wishing to expand markets, create new opportunities and generally create wealth and jobs.
It is our Government’s desire to do just that, just as any responsible free market economy driven administration should be striving to do.

By introducing and enforcing the BEE compliance requirements for businesses in South Africa, the Government have made it abundantly clear that they expect us all to buy into and be part of this project. We all have a responsibility to uplift all sectors of our population and to assist in finding all possible ways of lifting our people out of poverty and taking bthem towards a better life for all.

Hence we are indeed proud and honoured to have been awarded our Level 2 Contributor BEE status from Empowerdex. A small but significant indication of Accelerate’s commitment towards the ideals of making South Africa a better place for all her people.

We are proud to be a Player, no matter how small, in the greater scheme of things, and will continue to play as meaningful a role as we possibly can, to keep South Africa the great and amazing country that it is.
