Media Statement: Submission on National State Enterprises Bill

Last week, the Helen Suzman Foundation made a submission in response to the National State Enterprises Bill (Bill). The Bill seeks to form a holding company, controlled by the Presidency, and to transfer thirteen critical State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) to that holding company. In its submission, HSF warned that the Bill does not insulate SOEs from undue political influence but made several suggestions on how to mitigate the Bill’s risks, if it is to remain government policy.

HSF’s submission can be read here.
