Denel, which is one of the many parastatals struggling to recover from state capture, has recorded massive losses in recent years. In the past financial year it posted a loss of close to R2bn, with revenue dropping 36%. In the 2017/2018 financial year it suffered a net loss of R1.8bn on a 38% decline in revenue, to R5bn from R8bn the previous year.

“We have really worked hard in trying to keep job losses to a minimum and some of the employees will be transferred to other positions within the Denel group while voluntary severance packages have been offered,” said Kgobe.
