EXTERNAL TO DENEL • Majority of technical skills are vested internally with limited skills in the supplier base. • These external skills are largely in place but have been negatively impacted by the programme delay and financial position of Denel • Some suppliers no longer exist and components will need to be sourced and industrialised again to ensure integrity in supply. 18 YOUNG TALENT ON HOEFYSTER • Renata Westmacott who hails from Eldorado Park and joined Denel five years ago after obtaining a B Eng degree from the University of Johannesburg. Her responsibility is to provide system engineering and development support to all Badger variants as well as technical support during the industrialisation and production phases. • Nkabe Motjale, a mechanical engineer, has been with Denel Landward for five years. The 31-year old from Ficksburg in the Free State is responsible for the design and integration of platform-related components. • Lyzander Prinsloo, a structures and mechanism designer from Port Elizabeth, looks after the integration of all subsystem mechanical hardware on the Badger.

  • Which Is the Largest Manufacturer of Defence Equipment in South Africa and Operates in the Military Aerospace and Landward Defence Environment
    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY DENEL Denel is a state-owned company (SOC), which is the largest manufacturer of defence equipment in South Africa and operates in the military aerospace and landward defence environment. Denel is an important defence contractor in the domestic market and a key supplier to the South African National Defence Force (SANDF) both as original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and for the overhaul, maintenance, repair, refurbishment and upgrade of equipment in the SANDF’s arsenal. Denel reports to the Minister of Public Enterprises who appoints an independent board of directors to oversee an executive management team, managing the day-to-day operations. The executive management team also manages several business divisions and associated companies, including Denel Aeronautics, Denel Maritime, Pretoria Metal Pressings, Denel Dynamics, Denel Land Systems, Denel Vehicle Systems (Pty) Ltd and Denel Aerostructures SOC Ltd. With the release of the #Guptaleaks in May 2017, the actions and good governance of the board of directors were brought into question, not only because of the Denel-Asia deal, but also because of the relationships between key decision makers and the Gupta family. OUTA explores the capturing of Denel in this submission and provides supporting evidence. Before July 2015, Denel was led by a board of directors chaired by Riaz Saloojee. This board’s direction resulted in a series of profitable years as set out in the second issue of a 2015 Denel- issued communique. Denel had good prospects for its future and an order book of more than R35 billion and the group CFO Fikile Mhlonto was nominated as Public CFO of the year.

  • Overcoming the Legacy of Exclusion in South Africa
    Republic of South Africa Systematic Country Diagnostic Public Disclosure Authorized An Incomplete Transition: Overcoming the Legacy of Exclusion in South Africa Public Disclosure Authorized Background note Corporate Governance in South African State-Owned Enterprises Sunita Kikeri Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized Corporate Governance in South African State-Owned Enterprises Sunita Kikeri1 Introduction State-owned enterprises (SOEs) play an important role in the South African economy. Since 1994 SOEs have been a significant vehicle for achieving economic growth and poverty reduction. They are especially important vehicles for addressing market failure and for delivering key infrastructure services such as energy, transport, and water that allow the economy to grow while ensuring equity through access and quality of social services to all citizens. Strengthening their role and performance is a key component of the Developmental State agenda. This agenda addresses the key challenges facing South Africa: high poverty and unemployment levels; skewed distribution and maintenance of infrastructure; unequal distribution of land and capital; and growing disparities between the rich and poor. The Government’s New Growth Path (NGP), which sets a target of creating five million additional jobs by 2020, specifically calls on SOEs to play a key developmental role. Other policies such as the National Development Plan (NDP), the Medium-Term Strategic Framework (MTSF), and the Industrial Policy Action Plan also highlight the role of SOEs as major contributors to infrastructure development and to economic restructuring, while the Nine-Point Plan, which outlines Government priorities, includes addressing the electricity challenge and supporting reforms in SOEs. Through these initiatives, the Government’s goal is to ensure that SOEs deliver on broader developmental goals and that they support the transformation and competitiveness of the economy.

    WRECKING BALL Why Permanent Technological Unemployment, a Predictable Pandemic and Other Wicked Problems Will End South Africa’s Experiment in Inclusive Democracy by Stu Woolman TERMS of USE This electronic version of the book is available exclusively on the NISC website for free download to use in research or private study. It may not be re-posted on book or other digital repositories that allow systematic sharing or download. For any commercial or other uses please contact the publishers, NISC (Pty) Ltd. Print copies of this book as well as e-Book versions available for online ordering from the African Books Collective and Amazon.com. © NISC (Pty) Ltd WRECKING BALL Why permanent technological unemployment, a predictable pandemic and other wicked problems will end South Africa’s experiment in inclusive democracy Wrecking Ball explores, in an unprecedented manner, a decalogue of wicked problems that confronts humanity: Nuclear proliferation, climate change, pandemics, permanent technological unemployment, Orwellian public and private surveillance, social media that distorts reality, cyberwarfare, the fragmentation of democracies, the inability of nations to cabin private power, the failure of multinational institutions to promote collaboration and the deepening of autocratic rule in countries that have never known anything but extractive institutions. Collectively, or even severally, these wicked problems constitute crises that could end civilisation. Does this list frighten you, or do you blithely assume that tomorrow will be just like yesterday? Wrecking Ball shows that without an inclusive system of global governance, the collective action required to solve those wicked problems falls beyond the remit of the world’s 20 inclusive democracies, 50 flawed democracies and 130 extractive, elitist autocracies.
