Ramaphosa aims to institute special council to focus on SOEs via SABCNewsOnline

All SOEs are experiencing huge financial difficulties due to mismanagement, governance problems and continued losses that have led to government paying billions in bailouts to prevent them from going under.after delivering the ANC’s January 8 statement at the party’s 108th birthday celebrations in Kimberley on Saturday.

“Now, the State-Owned Enterprise Council that I’m going to be setting up, which will have people who are well versed in the running of corporations, in the running of all that including union leaders will be able to assist in helping to reposition State-Owned Enterprises.”

Special council until when? Doesn't President Cyril get tired of these meetings and councils? Eish khathaza of uzalo

Whites

Voetsek! With u council, government people. ESKOM, OUR ELECTRICITY are in huge shit! And u worry about other kak Fix our electricity issues first!!

Clueless fellow

Cyril is admitting that the management of SOEs cannot fill their mandates. So why not fire the useless bunch,bring in competent people. No need for a 'special council'.

I think people should read ' new confessions of economic hitman' by John Perkins.. All what is happening with this administration and I'm sitting of the previous one will make sense.

This president is bad news

Now it is...special counsel...new word...nice word without any meaning

This guy likes to waste SA money on Councils and panels no wonder people lie to him they can see he is lazy

No no no.

Ramaphosa has failed and is clueless, hopeless and shocked.

What have we benefited from those who are already appointed 🤷🏾‍♂️. Our President doesn't have a strong back bone.

These president came on the ticket of business and administrative excellence. But he is failing, isn't time for him to save his integrity and vacate office?

Its shame 2 u your SA African President cant take difficult decisions, he always delegate his decision like Zondo Commission, etc Maybe he never wanted 2 be a President he is just a proxy 4 WMC. Maybe MYANC need 2 check.

'Because we must protect Pravin at all costs' mxm! No need for SC on SOEs get rid of Pravin everything will be fine.

R91 Billion was injected to SAA n it'll never find its way back to State coffers. There's NO wisdom in flocking a dead horse. New perspective thinking is required to curtail unnecessary shelling billions to dead SoEs businesses

We have 50 active councils at the moment

SAfmnews Will they do the job for free because they really care about these SOEs? Or will taxpayers have to compensate them for their time and ideas which taxpayers have no input in?

Sort of like a department of government? headed by a political principal? who maybe called Minister of SOEs? Hey...

More money wasting tactics mxxm

Another Zondo commission to spend more billions😂😂😂

🙄.

Delay tactics

Jesu! Another layer of bureaucracy

Creating committees, councils, war-rooms. He has run out of options.

CyrilRamaphosa PresidencyZA Can we just hire competent people to manage our Institutions and stop appointing councils and tasks teams. Why have we employed people if we cannot develop these councils from the skilled public servants that already exist?

Then it means jamnandas is failing to do his job. He must let go immediately

That wont help either

SAfmnews Gape? 😮

How many 'special what what' do we have now? PresidencyZA

They will fail. SOEs need to get rid of evergreen contracts and monopolies.

LandNoli That's it Mr Prepaid. Use more money to save things that waste more money.

WTF!!? 🙄🤦🏽‍♂️

Clueless president

Makayeke makahambe

LandNoli By the way how is the 'special investment envoy' doing? The one's who were appointed to market the country to the world for them to invest in the country and grow our economy, where are they?

Thought the 'War Rooms' & Highly Paid Boards were supposed to resolve the SOE issues. Now in true South African style a Council must be appointed to investigate & assist the SOE War Rooms & Boards. Another waste of financial resources for special cadres

Pravin's removal will not solve Eskom's problems

Iyooooo

The country is held hostage by one man, Jamnandas Pravin Gordhan. The rest are corrupt criminals whose scandals Gordhan has in a file.

Just a waste of money. We are still waiting for feedback of engineers appointed to look at Eskom

LandNoli Those who voted for him, YENA AYA KWINI. What did you see in him? How did he make his billions? Why did he quit politics during TM’s reign?

Wasn’t Cyril in charge of turing around SOE’s when he was Deputy President?

Special council? Even though we have a ministry on everything? DGs, advisors and specialits? Does it makes sense though?

What's wrong with this man, in fact? Can he tell us the reason for Ministers and their Deputies? I now beginning to take it when people say he's clueless.The problem of being a front just receiving dividends and not working for your riches playing itself out

Another name for task team, they have run out of ideas

Another job opportunity for the few..

Just fire the useless minister, you can’t hide his incompetence anymore

MXM!

Regardless pravin must go

There we go again... Mr summits and commissions at it again.. No decisiveness

LandNoli There is ministry, the whole dept fir that. Lol

Ramaphosa was appointed by JZ 2 look into SOEs 9 yrs ago n failed to improve SOEs. What is this special council will do nw? Moerskont they playing with us kodwa

LandNoli Shuffle maybe?

_AfricanSoil Another Comission. This guy must retire..

Done with Probes Enquiries Commissions .... Now time for SpecialCouncil.. Regardless of ,the findings from this ANC approved 'SpecialCouncil', no SOE will benefit, or make a positive turnaround impact.. = Just another waste of TaxPayers money...

mare0107 Another council; we already have a war room, presidential committee, technical committee, state commission, ministerial oversight committees. The majority are the same delegates. Just wasting more time & money, hold the SOE management responsible for operations not the boards

Soooooo.... basically..... this simply says: Pravin IS A FAILED MINISTER... I mean...

There is no special council that will do anything the only thing is to employ qualified people to run this SOE's and stop political interference to the process

_AfricanSoil Please include the current state of government health care in your focus, instead of advertising NHI.

🙄No Council is needed here Cyril Ramaphosa needs to appoint People who raised through the ranks of these SOE's &STOP appointing the Stellenboch Manchurian Candidates &since he can't fired Lordhan abophe Inja yakhe to Stop interfering ngezinto He knows nothing Abt OK.

This is madness.

This is to protect Pravin? Myb th guy has same files against Cyril

Thays it! We just have to call it now. No more pretence. CYRIL IS AN IDIOT. there! I said it. Time for everyone to acknowledge it now.

I forecast four more 'emergency committees'by the end of the year. Cyril is taking us nowhere but down.

You'd think he wasn't head of Gov business for many years the way he is clueless. I mean, by now he should know what to do without a need for any advisory team. What a waste of time this Thumamina idiot is. Anc must remove cyrilramaphosa before they regret it worse

Yoooh lobaba is useless bathong. Yesses. And he is so good at being useless, he has different names for his ineptitude. From commissions to summits to task teams now special councils? each time you criticise him for arranging any gathering incompetence, he changes its title

This is not a leader. Why he is using other people to do his job ?

I figure special council in new term fod task team in 2020. Clueless as ever.

_AfricanSoil That's what he does... what happened to the experts that were appointed to deal with Eskom issues? Money is paid to friends and there's no accountability!

These are white though from the black jan van riebeeck. Stellenbosch is feeding him a lot of crap.

I can imagine cost of establishing that council not it's work

Get read of Pravin first he will sabotage that council

So what's the point of DPE, the board & so-called war room? All these can't deal with eskom crisis? What are they still there for then?

_AfricanSoil The war room

Wow another one there don't put people who are qualified for the job there only put people who there want to control In doing there favour 👹👹👹

Hai this guy has a thing with task teams, commissions, summits and now a council, sounds like a clueless person, how will this cost us 😢🤷🏾‍♂️

Then clearly Pravin should go

Lots of structures that will conflict wi each other- what’s the role of the board, EXCO, Public Enterprise Ministry, Treasury and Transport - too much stakeholders. It looks like the Gov is ruining out of ideas further!

This is not needed,,,JUST Speak TO PIET MEYER ,

Soecial council, envoys , commission's etc.

Another bunch of clowns to sit around and make no decisions or to interfere in operations ... who is advising Ramaphosa? Aaaargggg!!!!

Another ploy to reward CR17 donors
