Abstract
The impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) on the public health system of South Africa and the economy is evident. In an attempt to tackle economic hardship, the government created various economic relief packages. One of the industries hardest hit by the pandemic was the tourism sector. The Minister of Tourism then created a fund to assist within the tourism sector but added a separate requirement to access the fund based on the B-BBEE status of the company. This note seeks to answer the question of whether a transformation agenda during a national crisis is appropriate for achieving the desired end. This is especially critical at a time when the entire tourism industry was impacted in some way by COVID-19 and the ensuing lockdown.
