GCIS responds to Dr. Charles Sinkala's remarks on section 89 of the South African Constitution

The Government Communication and Information System (GCIS) has released a statement, noting with concern remarks made by Dr Charles Sinkala, during a recent television interview on SABC, in which he incorrectly claimed that Section 89 of the Constitution of South Africa was responsible for the decline or "killing" of State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs).

Section 89 of the Constitution specifically provides for the removal of the President by the National Assembly under defined circumstances and it does not relate to the governance, administration, or operational management of State-Owned Enterprises.

In the statement, government says several State-Owned Enterprises continue to play a critical role in economic growth, infrastructure development, service delivery, and national development.

It says a number of SOEs have demonstrated resilience, improved governance, financial recovery, and operational progress despite existing challenges.

For more on this we now bring in Acting Government Spokesperson, Nomonde Mnukwa.
