Boardroom Talk: How South Africa is being privatised by stealth, helped by theft, incompetence, etc
Alec Hogg writes on South Africa being privatised by stealth - replacements that may just deliver major improvements for SA society.

During our discussion in BizNews's Cape Town studio at the Latitude last week, DA leader John Steenhuisen went into some detail about how challenging it would be for a post 2024-government to break the cadre-filled public service stranglehold on SA society.
The conversation provided visions of Maggie Thatcher's showdown with UK trade unions in the 1980s. And got me wondering whether something of this nature would even be possible in country where because of our history, taking to the streets en masse in protest is embedded into the popular culture.
