GUESTS – Khaya Sithole - Independent Analyst and Parmi Natesan, CEO of Institute of Directors in South Africa
In this conversation we dive into the ongoing struggle South Africa faces with State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) and the financial strain they place on the national economy. Join us as we unpack the current challenges, exploring the key issues within SOEs like Eskom, SAA, and others, and how they contribute to the country’s fiscal woes.
We also look ahead to Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana's upcoming budget speech on Wednesday, discussing potential strategies he could adopt to tackle the SOE crisis. What bold steps can be taken to reduce reliance on the state, improve operational efficiency, and ultimately relieve taxpayers from footing the bill for underperforming entities?
