  3. Evolution of the Department and corresponding mandates • The Department of Public Enterprises was established in early 1990s as the office for privitisation. • In late 1990s, the emphasis shifted to halting and reversing the privatisation policy in favour of developing SOC as sustainable entities delivering on specific strategic economic mandates. • From early 2000 to the current period, there has been a more formal articulation of a strategic perspective on SOC, as levers for directing the economy towards higher growth and employment rates, through investment, industrialisation and transformation. • This evolution has informed the mandate and expansion of the DPE’s shareholder oversight function, on behalf of the State. • Whilst the DPE’s shareholder oversight role is well-established, it has to now respond to the expanded role of SOC in infrastructure development via the massive infrastructure investment programmes of Eskom and Transnet. • Evolution of the DPE will be informed by the President Review Committee on State Owned Enterprises (PRC). 3 CONFIDENTIAL

  4. The DPE has successfully developed and implemented a Shareholder management and governance model. Performance Monitoring & Evaluation DPE reviews SOC performance (Treasury Regulation 29.3) Isibuko Dashboard Minister issues Investor Briefs to SOC Boards on emerging SOC performance trends, highlighting need for corrective action in event of any deviation from agreed key performance areas and indicators. SOC AGMs. SOC reporting to Parliament (PFMA Sec 65). 4 CONFIDENTIAL

  5. The Shareholder has distinct responsibilities… Shareholder Responsibility • Shareholder owns shares, not enterprise assets. • These shares give the shareholder specific rights and powers: • Shareholder Minister to appoint all directors after Cabinet approval - executive directors appointedupon recommendation from Board. • Approval of significant & material transactions. • Issuing of a strategic intent statement. • Conclusion of binding shareholder compact. • Access information to monitor and evaluate performance. • Enforce accountability and take remedial action. • Production of good practice notes. 5 CONFIDENTIAL

  6. …as distinct from the Board and Management…. Board and Management Responsibility • Responsible for ensuring the financial sustainability of the company through coherent utilisation of company’s assets • Responsibility for development and implementation of the strategy: • Development of strategic and business plans and subsidiary plans. (financial, risk management, operational, marketing, etc). • Appointment of management and staff. • Management of all aspect of operations. • Development of detailed company policies (e.g. remuneration, procurement, etc) within guidelines defined by practice notes and implementation of company practice in adherence to the policy. 6 CONFIDENTIAL

  7. Whilst the DPE Shareholder oversight role is well-established, there is still much scope for improvement. In the period ahead, we will focus on: • Consolidating the Shareholder Management Model. • Shifting of emphasis to ensure that SOC drive investment, growth and employment. • Overseeing the strategic, financial and operational turnaround of challenged SOC. 7 CONFIDENTIAL

  8. Current strategic context for the Department • The current prioritisation of infrastructure expansion for growth and employment creation and the role of DPE’s SOC, especially the infrastructure SOC (Eskom, Transnet and Broadband Infraco) will challenge and shape the future trajectory of the Department. • We will be challenged in new ways in respect of the capacity to oversee the investment programmes and its intended impacts i.e. industrialisation, job creation, skills development, etc both from a Shareholder perspective as well as from an SOC performance perspective. • In parallel, South Africa faces significant economic development challenges: • A relative decline in manufacturing capabilities and output since the 1970s and associated loss of employment. • A continued over-whelming dependence on commodity exports, leaving the country vulnerable to the commodity cycle. • A negative current account balance that is driven by manufactured imports, many of which are required by the SOC build programmes. • A market structure and business culture that is associated with key sectors of the economy extracting rents, rather than investing in the future. • Racially skewed economic ownership and management structure and income distribution. How will the DPE respond? 8 CONFIDENTIAL

  9. In this context, the DPE has revised its Vision to the following….. “To drive investment, productivity and transformation in its portfolio of State Owned Companies (SOC), their customers and their suppliers to unlock growth, drive industrialisation, create jobs and develop skills.” We have undertaken an organisational review process which resulted in the development of a new organizational model and functional structure in line with our strategic objectives. Concurrently, a new Strategic Plan for the Department has been developed and describes in detail the objectives and work the DPE will undertake in the period 2012-2016, guided by the overarching policy and strategic direction and priorities of Government, as articulated in the New Growth Path, the draft National Development Plan, and the recent State of the Nation Address by President Jacob Zuma. 9 CONFIDENTIAL

  10. Key Achievements and Budget Expenditure against current year Strategic Plan 10 CONFIDENTIAL

  11. Overview of key achievements • The DPE’s shareholder oversight role and model has become well-established and has continued to be implemented as intended to a large extent, although there are major challenges and much still to be achieved. • For example: • all our SOC conclude Shareholder Compacts, submit Corporate Plans, quarterly reports (as required by statutes), hold Annual General Meetings, and prepare Annual Reports. • Development of frameworks/guidelines for shareholder management to strengthen coherence, discipline and consistency in our Shareholder oversight of SOC. • The focus of the DPE oversight has been on corporate governance (Board and key management appointments), planning (including infrastructure investment planning) and financial sustainability and operational indicators as as economic /developmental impact (jobs, skills, youth, B-BBEE, supplier development, environment/climate change). 11 CONFIDENTIAL
