Bus/Financial - Business/Commerce (general) / Mining industry | | English term or phrase: fronting | The context here is very important. This is a speech given by the minister Shabangu at the Investing in African Mining Indaba.
Here is the sentence in which this word occurs:
Were it not for the mining industry lagging behind in terms of implementing the provisions of the Mining Charter, the Mineral Petroleum and Resources Development Act and FRONTING amongst others, this debate would not have been there in the first place
Thanks in advance for your help! |

| | l'utilisation de responsables noirs de façade | Explanation:
alors que les mines sont en fait toujours aux mains de sociétés de blancs, je suppose.
J'ai quelque peu modifié mon interprétation de société de façade, il s'agit d'individus noirs présentés comme responsables, mais qui en fait n'ont aucun pouvoir/expérience.
"Shabangu also took mining companies to task for dragging their heels in implementing policies, fronting black partners to score points under affirmative action laws and failing to meet social needs.</B>
The nationalisation debate would not have taken place if the companies had not lagged on these matters, she said.
Shabangu also criticised mine bosses over safety, with 13 fatalities so far this year despite a three-percent drop from 127 deaths in 2010 to 123 last year."

"Shabangu blamed the mining sector for creating the debate about nationalisation by not implementing provisions of the Mining Charter and the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act. This was partly because of the practice of fronting, whereby companies circumvent the Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment Act."
