Black Business Council president Sandile Zungu says BEE cannot simply be wished away as it is necessary for creating a more orderly and peaceful society.
His remarks come amid growing criticism of black economic empowerment .

The party says its new approach ensures that the beneficiaries of economic transformation initiatives are not confined to politically connected people of one race.
