Eugene Brink: New government needed to save SOEs; after de Ruyter's Eskom nightmare

Loading player...
A change of Government is needed to save South Africa’s State-owned Enterprises (SOEs). This after the horror management experience of former Eskom CEO André de Ruyter who tried “every which way to rectify the troubles and the travails that Eskom had and still has”, but did not have the necessary political backing - and failed in the end.
