About XSEVEN
Helping organisations comply, and benefit while they do
XSEVEN is a South African compliance consultancy specialising in B-BBEE, Employment Equity and Skills Development.
Our philosophy
When a country’s economy grows, it brings with it opportunities for the rich and the poor. We understand the intention behind the B-BBEE Act, and we are excited about the good it brings, as long as it benefits your organisation and ultimately the economy.
We study the B-BBEE Act, the Codes of Good Practice and sector charters in order to optimise your return on investment. Our aim is to find the most efficient ownership strategy for your organisation, Enterprise Development partners that will add value to your organisation, and Skills Development initiatives that enhance your employees and your score.
We understand that B-BBEE is very often a complex and emotional endeavour. Our first priority is that you keep running your business effectively while complying with the law.
Our story
Andre van Tonder founded XSEVEN in 2009. What started as a transformation consultancy now works with trusted partners in training, procurement and supplier development, so we can bring the right specialist to every part of your compliance.
Today we consult on transformation planning, human resource compliance, responsible supplier development and socio-economic development, working with a team of specialist consultants matched to each client and project.
Andre has been involved in the founding of eight different companies, all of which are still running today. He currently holds six directorships, has started three Black women-owned organisations, and is the co-founder of a non-profit company that trains and mentors young people in entrepreneurship, life and business skills.
How we work

- Our systematic and comprehensive documentation of your evidence ensures maximum scores during verification.

Andre van Tonder
Founder and Managing Director, XSEVEN
Andre founded XSEVEN in 2009 to help South African organisations deal with transformation the practical way: plan it properly, comply with the law, and make it work for the business.
He brings together academic training in research psychology, education and B-BBEE management with hands-on experience of transformation consulting since 2009. That mix means he looks at the people behind the scorecard, not just the numbers on it.
