Abstract: | The pace of privatisation in South Africa has been slow and grudging. On the other hand, the government is keen to raise as much cash as it can through the sale of public assets; on the other, social and political pressures are working against the move. The bottom line in South Africa's privatisation programme is disappointing. If delivery is measured against promise, the results are in the red. Of the 16 state corporations to come under the hammer, just two actually changed hands. |
