Governance and performance of State-owned enterprises in South Africa
Résumé
In this policy brief, the governance and performance of
State-owned enterprises in South Africa is explored.
A discussion of the general developmental (or noncommercial) role of such enterprises worldwide is
followed by an examination of how they have influenced
socioeconomic development in South Africa. Using case
studies of six State-owned enterprises in the country,
insights are offered into the challenges that they face
and the opportunities awaiting them if good governance
principles are implemented successfully. The brief closes
with a set of recommendations for a reform agenda.
