Key Messages of this presentation
4
1. Together with other developers, the NEF has built a portfolio of manufacturing
and industrial capacity in strategic economic sectors, which will potentially add
1% to South Africa’s GDP, if fully capitalised to the tune of R5,5 billion.
2. Over the next three years, South Africa could witness history in the making
through the real emergence of brand new black industrialists, supported by the
NEF.
3. These black-owned companies will lead to the creation of more than 100 000
decent jobs, and real investment in poverty nodes.
4. These black-owned companies will drive beneficiation, increase South Africa’s
export-earning potential and reduce import dependency.
5. 10 years after the Codes, this is the critical momentum which B-BBEE now
requires, in order to drive inclusive growth.
6. We urge the Portfolio Committee to proactively support the recapitalisation of
the NEF as follows:
Per Annum over 5 years Black Industrialists
R2 billion for 200 black SMEs R5,5 billion grows to R33 billion value

Checks and Balances The authorization of transactions and the release of funds typically
pass several layers of decision-making, including by individuals and institutions both within and outside the NEF.
We conduct robust checks-and-balances involving the following entities that review all activities for compliance with corporate governance, conflicts of interest and internal control laws and policies :
internal risk
internal audit, the post-investment and legal teams
Finance
the board investment, audit and risk committees (each of which include experienced, independent professionals) and
external, highly regarded audit firms.
Since our inception, the NEF has received unqualified audit opinions from PwC and SizweNtsalubaGobodo.

NEF has delivered on Government’s
promise to drive B-BBEE…
NEF has evolved steadily into a leading, distinctive and effective DFI
Approved over R5 billion into B-BBEE transactions Strategic Projects Fund has the potential to create 150,000-200,000 new jobs within 3 years
Financed and nurtured 391 black South African ventures (55% women-owned)
Enabled entrepreneurs to start their own businesses, to buy into and to expand established
firms, to build community, rural-based entities, and to develop infrastructure projects
Facilitated 87,000 black South Africans to become owners of MTN through NEF’s R1.3
billion Asonge Share Scheme
Enabled 200,000 black South Africans to become owners of Sasol through Sasol’s
R5.8 billion BEE Scheme
Developed a team of 168 experienced, mostly black South Africa investment and
business professionals; operate in all 9 provinces (offices in 8)
Well-managed: Built asset base from R171 million to almost R6 billion; ~55% cost-to-
income ratio
11
But just when our country
demands faster and deeper impact,
other DFIs have exited Despite the NEF’s diverse achievements since
operational inception in 2004, many black South
Africans remain locked out of the economic mainstream.
IDC, DBSA and PIC are no longer significant financiers
of B-BBEE.
NEF is now the only major DFI that is positioned to
finance aspirant black South African entrepreneurs.
Together with other developers, the NEF has built a
portfolio of manufacturing / industrial capacity which will
potentially add 1% to South Africa’s GDP, if fully
capitalised to the tune of R5,5 billion.

• The NEF sees B-BBEE as a cross-cutting
strategic solution to the historical and systematic
exclusion of black people from the economic
mainstream.
• It is our assertion that black enterprises should
not be confined to the periphery of the economy.
• In response to market demand, the NEF supports
both SMEs and industrial / manufacturing capacity
(Emerging Entrepreneurs, Established
Entrepreneurs & Black Industrialists).
Are Black people good enough
only for small businesses?

Not Empowering the Empowered
1. The NEF provides funding of between R250 000 and R75 million to
black entrepreneurs for start-up, expansion and equity acquisition
purposes in order to transform South Africa’s economy, where black
people control only 3,9%.
2. The NEF’s product range encompasses the following segments of
the target market: 2.1 Black individuals and groups with significant operational experience, an extensive
investment portfolio and accumulated capital (Tier 1).
2.2 Black individuals and groups with operational experience which could include having concluded a limited number of BEE transactions. This sector typically has limited accumulated capital with existing
investments still encumbered / “not in the money yet” (Tier 2).
2.3 Black individuals and groups with limited business or entrepreneurial
experience (Tier 3).
3. Over 60% of NEF approvals have gone to SMEs in support of rural and community development, enterprise development, preferential procurement, franchising and the transformation of all sectors and across the different levels of the South African economy.

Key Challenges
and
Way Forward
46
Key Challenges
Re-capitalisation risk:
The risk that the NEF will not be able to follow
through on equity options secured in early
stage projects,
The NEF not having sufficient capital to
continue its Strategic initiative.
Sustainability risk: The risk that the NEF
will not be able to sustain itself over the
strategic planning period based on current
capital and internally generated cash
flows.
47
Way Forward
As is best practice within both the public and
private sector, the cash reserves should be used
as the initial consideration when determining the
level of commitments that can be incurred.
In evaluating the extent to which the NEF can incur
commitments it is advised that a detailed analysis
of cash flow projections in the near to short term be
performed against projected approvals as per deal
pipeline.
Thereafter the legal applicability of paragraph 66 of
the PFMA should be considered in so far as the
NEF as a schedule 3A entity is permitted to incur
commitments that bind the National Revenue
Fund.
48
Way Forward (Continued)
The previous points should be considered within
the context of the following matters that are
currently in progress:
The possibility of the NEF being capitalised
further via the MTEF process.
The possibility of IDC funding worth R1 billion

Market Failures confronting black business
The NEF seeks to address the following market failures:
Lack of access to finance
Lack of access to markets
Lack of specific industry-knowledge and/or management
experience
Limited or no equity contribution
SMEs have low bargaining power with suppliers and
customers (they are price-takers)
SMEs compete with well-established businesses
They are often undercapitalized and have low asset base
SMEs are characterised by lack of accurate and reliable
information, and lack of business-planning skills
Lack of management depth – small and multifunctional,
and often lack a range of business-management skills
51
91% of formal business
entities in South Africa are
SMEs
SMEs contribute between
52% and 57% to GDP
61% contribution to
employment by SMEs
Importance of SMEs
52
NEF Funding Criteria
Each application is assessed in terms of the following criteria:
minimum percentage of black ownership or interest,

commercial viability of the business,
job creation,
specific product criteria,
geographic location of the business (rural/urban/disadvantaged areas),

Key Insights Gained …
and Lessons Learnt
Fronting in the forms of contract management agencies
Effective equity interest in conglomerate group structures equally weighted to direct equity interests
Finance leveraging experiences with banks who have an aversion for equity/ quasi-equity without an understanding of cash flow financing
SME challenges: equity contributions; management skills; access to new markets; business planning
Ongoing passive investment applications without direct operational involvement
The need for close post investment monitoring
High quality management information reporting systems
The role of the NEF as an advisor
The growing importance of the Tier 4 target market (white business owners and managers)
57
Enterprise Development Fund
Broad – Based Black Economic Empowerment Codes of Good Practice –
Section 9(1) Series 600 provides that companies make monetary or non
monetary contributions either recoverable or non recoverable for development,
sustainability and financial and operational independence of beneficiaries.
58
Why Enterprise Development?
Limited management time to spend on non-core business
Insufficient knowledge of BEE ED requirements
Insufficient resources and skills to support BEE start-ups, which require significant skills injection to achieve economic viability
Poor economies of scale achieved based on number of initiatives
Lack of time and resources to identify sustainable Beneficiaries;
Lack of a business model to maximise recognition of contribution;
Lack of a process to monitor progress on projects and to introduce corrective measures, where necessary;
Delaying implementation until the right partner comes along; and
Reservation of spending lump sum due to fear that money will be wasted or misused.

Key Messages of this presentation
70
1. Together with other developers, the NEF has built a portfolio of manufacturing
and industrial capacity in strategic economic sectors, which will potentially add
1% to South Africa’s GDP, if fully capitalised to the tune of R5,5 billion.
2. Over the next three years, South Africa could witness history in the making
through the real emergence of brand new black industrialists, supported by the
NEF.
3. These black-owned companies will lead to the creation of more than 100 000
decent jobs, and real investment in poverty nodes.
4. These black-owned companies will drive beneficiation, increase South Africa’s
export-earning potential and reduce import dependency.
5. 10 years after the Codes, this is the critical momentum which B-BBEE now
requires, in order to drive inclusive growth.
6. We urge the Portfolio Committee to proactively support the recapitalisation of
the NEF as follows:
Per Annum over 5 years Black Industrialists
R2 billion for 200 black SMEs R5,5 billion grows to R33 billion value
