Although the enhancement of customer satisfaction and employee engagement is embedded in its vision, Telkom understands that leadership depends on balancing and advancing the interests of all stakeholders. The Group’s strategy focuses on creating value for all stakeholders including achieving sustainable and healthy financial returns for shareholders. To ensure Telkom can sustain the creation of value in response to developments in its dynamic and changing market environment, management determined certain shifts in strategic emphasis in the 2006 financial year. Telkom’s ‘Vision 2010’ focuses on five strategic pillars to sustain long-term value creation for all its stakeholders, and sets specific goals to be achieved by 2010. Enhancing customer satisfaction through customer centricity Customer centricity will underpin all Telkom’s efforts to be a leader in the ICT sector. It is a key deliverable for customer-facing and support staff. Core objective: To develop a customer centric culture that permeates the entire organisation through people, processes and systems, with the objective of making Telkom the customer’s ICT service provider of choice. 2010 goal: • To improve Telkom’s rating in the South African customer survey index. Engaging employees to maintain competitive advantage Employee centricity will provide Telkom with focus and direction as it acknowledges the only way to shape the future is through its employees. Core objective: To develop initiatives to enhance employee satisfaction and sustain a culture of engagement with all Telkom employees. 2010 goals: • Position Telkom as an employer of choice. • Improve performance and productivity. • Build employee competencies and enhancing Telkom’s leadership capabilities. • Transforming towards a customer centric corporate culture. 6 Evolving the fixed-line network to a NGN to support profitable growth through prudent cost management Telkom is embracing and will seek to continue to provide compelling value propositions to all customer segments across the ICT value chain, and creates opportunities to reduce the cost of operating the network, by implementing an Internet Protocol (IP)-based operating platform, or Next Generation Network (NGN). Core objective: To evolve the network, operating support systems, IT and skills fit to a NGN in order to support Telkom’s growth strategy, while expanding existing services and applying continuing prudent cost management. 2010 goal: • Substantial progress in attaining a full ICT-capable NGN. Retaining revenue and generating growth Telkom’s aim is to minimise the impact of competition from existing and new entrants and penetrate new markets to supplement diminishing revenue streams.

South Africa held its first democratic elections in 1994 and has subsequently returned Telkom; to the international arena. Its citizens should rightly expect to be able to participate in all that Social justice this return offers, not only politically, but also economically and socially. Telecommunications are vital to making such participation possible. In recognition of this fact, the newly elected government developed policies and enacted legislation to ensure that the telecommunications sector, and specifically the sole fixed line service provider Telkom, provides South African citi- zens affordable access to the telecommunications infrastructure whilst providing acceptable levels of service. However, rather than meeting its obligation to the government and the people of South Africa, Telkom has misused its monopoly. The social injustice that this situa- tion creates is critically examined against the background of the right to communicate based on Rawls’ principles of social justice and Sen’s capability approach.

  • 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.

    DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY PRESENTATION TO THE IEP STAKEHOLDER CONSULTATION NELSPRUIT 19 NOVEMBER 2013 PRESENTED BY: MJ MACHETE OVERVIEW OF THE LIQUID FUELS SECTOR IN SOUTH AFRICA BY MOHUDI MACHETE Historical Excursion On The Liquid Fuels Sector • Liquid Fuels sector is more than 100 years in SA • Almost all petroleum products sold in South Africa were imported as refined product by the respective wholesale companies who distributed this to their branded retailers and various commercial customers. • In the first half of the 1950s, the government-initiated project to produce oil from South Africa’s abundant low- grade coal reserves, which saw the formation of the South African Coal, Oil and Gas Corporation Limited, later called Sasol Limited • In 1955 the first oil-from-coal-synthetic fuel plant – Sasol One – was constructed Historical Excursion On The Liquid Fuels Sector • Period of the Sasol Supply Agreements (SSA) or the Main Supply Agreement (MSA) between Sasol and the major distributors. • The international oil crisis of 1973 accelerated government’s plans to expand the capacity of Sasol’s oil-from-coal facilities • The UN’s imposition in 1977 of a mandatory crude oil embargo underlined these concerns, as did the Iranian revolution of 1979. • Sasol Two and Sasol Three were commissioned at Secunda, also in the inland region, in 1980 and 1982 respectively. Historical Excursion On The Liquid Fuels Sector • In 1987 when natural gas condensate was discovered off shore, the Government built a gas-to-liquids plant Mossel Bay (now owned and operated by PetroSA). • The Mossgas plant commenced production in late 1992. • Government, in addition to its direct intervention through Sasol to secure indigenous sources of petroleum product, also encouraged private sector initiatives aimed at addressing these concerns.
