• 15% have to be black people from local communities;
• Half of the employees in the maintenance and operating phase of the project have to be comprised of black women;
• At least 15% (20% in the operating and maintenance phase) of the goods and services have to be procured from Tshwane-based enterprises;
• Over half of the skilled employees in the operating and maintenance phase of the project have to be comprised of black women;
• A portion of the goods and services have to be procured from Tshwane based black women owned enterprises; and
