Minister Pravin Gordhan, the Minister of Public Enterprises, has taken a strong stance against the deliberate misinformation surrounding the restructuring of Eskom, a state-owned company (SOC). Gordhan has reiterated his commitment to revitalizing SOCs and rooting out corruption in these institutions.
Gordhan has denounced the individuals with vested interests who have been spreading false claims surrounding Eskom’s restructuring. He has encouraged the public to read the official statement issued by the Department of Public Enterprises (DPE) last week, which debunks the misinformation and emphasizes that Eskom’s three new subsidiaries will remain wholly owned by the state.
Gordhan has identified recent attacks against him and the DPE by Collen Malatji and other counter-revolutionaries as evidence of vested interests determined to undermine the ongoing reforms of SOCs. He has emphasized that these individuals seek to harm the interests of millions of South Africans for their own gain.
Despite the attacks, Gordhan and the DPE remain committed to revitalizing SOCs, rooting out corruption, and ensuring they fulfill their mandates to transform and develop the South African economy. The minister believes that restoring SOCs to functionality is about serving current and future generations and fostering growth and development, while remaining accountable to the public they serve.
Minister Gordhan is set to meet with the ANC Youth League to discuss these issues and reiterate his unwavering commitment to restructuring state-owned companies. He is determined to make sure that these institutions remain a force for positive change within the South African economy.
Gordhan’s dedication to restructuring state-owned companies and ensuring their viability is a testament to his unwavering vision of a thriving South African economy, free from the shackles of corruption and special interests.
As the government and DPE continue their efforts to reform state-owned companies, it is essential for citizens to remain informed and engaged. By staying informed and committed to transparency, the people of South Africa can support the ongoing transformation of these vital institutions and contribute to a brighter future for the nation.
