The proposed National State Enterprises Bill has been published in the Government Gazette and is now open for public participation until 14 February. The bill seeks to establish a centralized holding company, State Asset Management (SAMSOC), which would oversee 13 state-owned entities (SOEs) currently under government control. While the bill aims to streamline SOE oversight, improve governance, and tackle financial mismanagement, it has sparked heated debate regarding its implications for accountability, transparency, and potential for political interference. Lerato Mbele was in conversation with Brian Molefe, Former Eskom CEO & Member of Parliament and Theliswa Mgweba, Chairperson Of The Portfolio Committee On Planning, Monitoring And Evaluation.
