    The purpose of the study is to evaluate the impact of the Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) transaction on shareholder value. In this study a specific reference data of 2002 has been chosen for analysis. The analysis measures and compares various financial ratios before 2002 and after 2002 for those companies that implemented BEE transactions in 2002. This is basically an event study where the event window is in 2002. We have a sample of 33 companies from a population of 103 BEE transactions from listed and unlisted companies. The ratios such as ROI, ROIC, ROE, ROCE, EVA and CVA were calculated for each of the 33 companies before 2002 and after 2002. Test results show there is no statistically significant change in the various ratios. Thus the BEE transactions are adding no significant value to current shareholders in the target companies. The findings have significance for future BEE policy considerations
