Ramokgopa urges ‘timeous’ passage of Bill to usher in new SOE shareholder management model

Minister in the Presidency of Planning, Monitoring, and Evaluation Maropene Ramokgopa, who has taken over the coordination of State-owned Enterprises (SOEs) that previously fell under the Department of Public Enterprises, has urged lawmakers to support the timeous processing of the National State Enterprises Bill that includes far-reaching changes to the shareholder management model for SOEs. Delivering her Budget Vote address, Ramokgopa promised to convene a workshop with the Portfolio Committee on Public Enterprises to finalise the passage of a “fit for purpose” piece of legislation.
