Amid a litany of board resignations at SOEs such as Transnet, Eskom and other entities as well as their poor state of finances, calls for Minister of Public Enterprise, Pravin Gordhan, to step down continue to grow. This past week, Popo Molefe became the latest board member in one of the country’s biggest parastatals, Transnet, to resign just days after the resignation of Eskom board chairperson, Mpho Makwana, who announced his resignation the previous weekend.
