OPINION | In engagements with government, business typically speaks strategically, not loudly. But the reality of our time is that the ability to interact constructively with the state has deteriorated past the point of diplomacy, says CoruscaKhaya.

Seven years ago, as the country's state enterprises served as fertile ground for the extraction networks masquerading as governance structures, FutureGrowth – an asset manager with large investments in the bonds of state entities – announced that it would cease lending to six of the biggest public enterprises. The list of affected entities included Eskom, Transnet, Sanral and the Land Bank.

At that stage, the governance crisis embedded across these entities was rapidly being discovered by the public through a combination of whistleblowing and investigative reporting. As the entities were being gradually hollowed from within, investors in their bonds preferred to express alarm in quiet circles rather than public confrontations.Get 14 days free to read all our investigative and in-depth journalism.
