ic Enterprises Minister Alec Erwin is "open-minded" about the
privatisation of the Airports Company of South Africa (Acsa), his
director-general Dr Eugene Mokeyane said.
"The position is that the minister is open minded on this,"
Mokeyane told Parliament's Ad Hoc Committee on Public Enterprises
yesterday.
He said several teams were reviewing industry opinions on the
privatisation of Acsa.
"They are just reviewing broadly what opinions exist. There is a
compelling case to probably do so... the minister is noncommittal
but open minded (on privatisation)," he said.
The department was developing a restructuring plan for Acsa.
Erwin was meant to brief the committee, together with Mokeyane, on
the department's strategic plan but had to attend a Cabinet
meeting.
Mokeyane said the impressions that the privatisation of parastatals
was on hold were incorrect.
"Government is not letting off quietly. We engage with investors
and discuss and share ideas on continual basis. They know that
restructuring is continuing. The investors have a full
understanding of what is happening... certainly matters are not on
hold." - Sapa
