We will get state-owned entities back into shape eventually, insists DPE

Deputy Minister of Public Enterprises Phumulo Masualle told Parliament on Tuesday afternoon that despite ongoing troubles at state-owned entities (SOEs) and delays in already announced plans to get them back in shape, the department still had a plan to improve the fortunes of beleaguered parastatals. Masualle was replying orally to questions from members of Parliament during a virtual plenary of the National Council of Provinces. He was a stand-in during the plenary for Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan.
