But if PG really wanted control, he should have dissolved the ill-suited board in Dec. This is what I recommended in Parly in Appril 2018. Next he should

have installed an interim Working Group of 5 highly experienced professionals with deep aviation knowledge to accelerate the restructuring, because obviously, he could not tolerate Jarana, who fearlessly defended his executive authority.
What we now have is a perfectly self-created mess and tragedy. I have argued in Fit for Purpose that the DPE is Not the correct structure to oversee the SOEs. SAA and Eskom are typical outcomes of an undesirable governance structure. I deal with this more
comprehensively in my next book due this August. We cannot continue on this basis. A painful and challenging decision Must be made by President Ramaphosa if he really wants to make an impact with his new Dawn. He needs immense courage and vision.
The unfitness of DPE has been identified in the report of the Presidential Commission on SOE in 2012. God knows why the report is lying in limbo. But clearly its adoption would have created a Chinese wall that would hinder and frustrate rent-seeking.
This is the albatross on our necks; state capture and rent-seeking by ANC cronies. It never stops. Even under the emergency of a pandemic and lockdown. I think we are a cursed society. Check this: threadreaderapp.com/thread/1259926…

Now PG says the BRP team have delivered nothing.🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️He knew by end of Feb that they had No competence Nor capability to deliver the rescue plan. Yet they continued to pay them. Clearly DPE failed dismally to exercise their fiduciary duties on this contract.
No amount of blame shifting can change that. In the process Covid-19 has made recreation prospects almost null and void.
We must urgently rethink custodianship of the oversight of SOEs. DPE is Not structured optimally for this function.
I have discussed this in Fit for Purpose. I go much deeper into the subject in my next book due in August. The R200m wasted on the BRP exposes this serious weakness. The BRP should Not have happened. It was unwise and terribly ill-informed.

Everybody including the DPE knew that liquidation was a possible outcome of the BRP process. If DPE rejects that now, what informed its decision embark on a BRP process. We all warned against

it. The alternative was to bring in an experienced aviation consulting company to wind down the business, retrech all employees with acceptable packages and concurrently create SAA 2.0 Why did DPE ignore this rational advice? What does it say about
the leadership of DPE? We now have a BRP team that has earned R200m over five (5) months and delivered no strategy or solution as required by law. 🙆‍♂️🙆‍♂️🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️ We need to call this for what it is. Does DPE add or destroy value to the President's efforts?

I'm informed that President Ramaphosa described the governing party as having been "down and out" and requiring intervention by the ancestors. Correct on 1st but wrong on the intervention. They Must just study Fit for Purpose via thabangjmotsohi.com
The ancestors have played their part in their time. This is his time. They must be humble to listen to strange voices. Note opening papragraph:

The ANC is like rotting carcass that is being eaten from the inside. The eating must be fast because others will finish it off. Look at how donated food for the hungry and the poor was hijacked in many place for selfish ends. That was a sacrilege.
