Chapter 3: Holding Company
The fact that the proposed holding company will be 100% state owned already raises a major red flag. The involvement of the Presidency in the governance of SOE's is a major concern, as this will threaten the balance of power and opens up the potential again for undue political interference which led to the hollowing out and destruction of all SOE's. Despite promises to deal with corruption by President Ramaphosa, corruption is alive and well to this day and there is still no accountability, as ANC Ministers in the Cabinet who fall under the spotlight are merely moved to another portfolio. Furthermore, no action was taken after the Zondo Commission completed its findings, and those individuals are sitting in our Parliament today. Entrusting oversight of all strategic SOE's to a state-owned holding company while the ANC is still predominant will make it that much easier to hide corruption and again there will be NO accountability. This Bill will be putting the proverbial fox in charge of the henhouse!

The ANC historically have proven that they are incapable of managing state institutions.

My vote Is a fat NO !!!!!!!!
Why is Parliament now decided to form a company to take care of the state owned a State Assets.
They failed dismally in a position they have been appointed to. Their job was to ensure that these SOE’s generate income to supplement the pensions of those citizens who is on or below the breadline.
The question begged to be ask are.
Are those who looked after the Soe’s in Parliament going to be appointed to this State Asset Management SOC Ltd (SAMSOC), a holding company.
If they were not capable of taking care of the state owned assets while holding the portfolios what is the reasons for forming a holding company to oversee this impotent function?
These SOE’s assets is valuable to the state as it really belong to the citizens of this fair South Africa
When Parliament promulgate the idea of forming an outside company to manage the SOe’s they should have consulted the citizens of this fair South Africa.
They should not pass the law first and then expect that some of citizens will come to hear of it and then have object to something that is not in the interest of the citizens.

An example of the chaos that occurred recently is when Parliament tried to sell off our national airline South African Airways,(SAA)
So please keep the SOE’s in Parliament and appoint people (Parliamentarians) who want to serve the citizens of this fair South Africa and not them selves.

The ANC historically have proven beyond doubt that they incapable of managing state institutions for the past 30 years.

Whenever the ANC is involved in state institutions then historically there is financial irregularities and malfeasance through rampant corruption with zero consequences, neither prosecution nor removal of ANC officials.

The logical conclusion is that the ANC are a self-serving bunch of criminals never fit to hold public office.

Mentally there is no substance in any ANC members except for criminal intentions and self-enrichment.

The practices of democratic governance, upholding human rights, morals, ethics, honesty, work ethic and building a non racial culture in SA are devoid in the DNA of ANC members.

The rich ANC elite have spat in the face of their fellow African brothers and sisters due to their race and tribal ideologies and criminal acts.

Therefore, I don't support the National SOE Bill in any form whatsoever since the ANC is historically inept and foster criminal behaviour in SOEs.

SOE's are corruption personified, now they want to create a "master" SOE to make sure that all other SOE's do their corruption correctly. Pffff

I believe this is one more step towards Marxism (whicg I believe has been successfully sold to the common man). Already a proponent of privatisation, the last thing I want is a single, goverment-owned entity wielding this kind of power. This would limit accountability and allow sharing of resource allocation between.

As usual, this is a distraction to allow for further complexity in a simple solution.
The answer does not lie in another entity, it lies in holding responsible parties accountable. None of the existing entities have clean audits. If the responsible parties are able to hide and obfuscate activities, naturally corruption will be rife. The approach should be to have a single throat to choke with the required roles and responsibilities under that individual. Make that individual legally liable to ensure that nothing shady is happening on their watch. Give them a big fat bonus if they get clean audits and hit them with the law if they do not!

I don't understand the obsession with making profit in everything, Can we leave this capitalist imperial colonizer mentality out of SoEs.
Why are we a part of BRICS if we so desperately clinging to the silly Western notions of everything must make a profit and be financialized.
America's empire is crumbling, evidence enough of the failures of the capitalist system.
Actually embarrassing that we have not escaped the grip of our colonial past when you look at what the Alliance of Sahel States is doing.
Why can we not do the same?
Do you think any other country tells America and the West how they can spend their money? They waste billions on war and empire but we let them tell us no you can't spend your money like that because it does not align with their imperialist agenda.
Funny how effective their anti communist propaganda has been. Look at moneyweb.co.za a cesspool of people brainwashed by capitalist/imperial propaganda.
Look man, SoEs are there to provide a service to the country and its citizens not to make a dam profit.
Embarrassed to be South African really, want to do something for the country and the people.
Do it, print the money, allocate the resources, hire and employ the people.
LEAVE THIS IMPERIAL CAPITALIST COLONIZER MENTALITY FOR THE WESTERNERS AND LET THE MARCH THEMSELVES TO COLLAPSING THIER EMPIRE.

Centralisation of soes under one department is not the answer. There must be proper oversight on these SOEs and they must be individually held accountable.

We need competent people in charge , not another department. Tax payers can not afford more taxes for another government department.
Put people in SOE's that know what they are doing .

We need to protect our assets and need a legal watch department.
Not under the state only ,but maybe another umbrella.

There should be more oversight on SOEs and government spending - hiding them inside a larger entity will make this more difficult
