'However, SOCs have become a slaughterhouse for skilled black leaders and executives whose reputations get tarnished because of factors that are beyond their control.'

"There was a time when some SOCs [state-owned companies] were reasonably well run under the leadership of black people such as Reuel Khoza, Thulani Gcabashe and Peter Matlare.

"However, SOCs have become a slaughterhouse for skilled black leaders and executives whose reputations get tarnished because of factors that are beyond their control. "It has come to our attention that other black leaders and executives are on the verge of also submitting their resignation letters due to intolerable levels of political interference and the failure of the government to fully support them and address the capital structures and funding models of their struggling SOCs," Nomlala said.

Nomlala accused public enterprises minister Pravin Gordhan of behaving like the de facto CEO within state-owned companies. "This governance framework should also outline the role of the minister of public enterprises, who has clearly over-reached his authority," he said.

They are also a feeding trough for the AMC connected elite

Fokken BMF morons 🙄 They'll squeal like stuck pigs when WHITE CEOs are appointed, so what is their constructive proposal ?

Like 21 CEO's in 10 years ? And they are more bankrupt than before ? Ja riiiiight! Nice try . 😂😂😂😂
