. The Liquid Fuels Charter is in the current state inadequate for effecting transformation: o Makes broad statements of intent without specific indicators for measurement (how will we know how well we're doing?). o There is no enforcement and/or alignment of the Charter with the BB-BEE codes. . During the Charter review of Feb 2006 the Minister reminded industry that it is far from reaching the LFC target of 25%. . In SAPIA's Annual Report of 2008: o The Minister in her foreword raised concerns that procurement still requires further attention & laments the inaccessibility to the oil companies by HDSA's/SMMEs. o SAPIA Executive Director in his report highlighted meeting LFC procurement targets as a challenge for industry. . The irrefutable fact is that the Charter's target of 25% commenced in 2000 and was to be implemented within 10 years (i.e. by November 2010)
