Daily Maverick a week ago, Minister of Public Enterprises Pravin Gordhan wrote about steps taken by his department to reverse the effects of the “ruthless looting and destruction” which has taken place in the country’s state-owned enterprises (SOEs) over the past few years.
He said the Department of Public Enterprises was taking “decisive steps to recover assets, money and intellectual properties stolen from SOEs as part of State Capture”.
In the case of South African Airways (SAA), Gordhan said restructuring which would include the selection of a strategic equity partner (SEP) would lead to “the emergence of a competitive, viable and sustainable national airline that is agile, techno-savvy and that will not need any further funding from the fiscus”.

One South Africa Movement leader Mmusi Maimane has sounded the alarm at what he believes is evidence that the infamous Gupta family is still unduly benefiting from Eskom.
The power utility is at the centre of the commission of inquiry into state capture where evidence leaders are scrutinising business deals signed off by former board members.
Since its first sitting, the commission has heard testimony of a 2015 coal contract facilitated by former CEO Matshela Koko and former CFO Anoj Singh, for the power utility to purchase a year s supply of coal from Optimum.
