Minister Gordhan is hopeful that talks with his Chinese counterparts will yield positive results in the interest of both SOCs and in particular to ensure the effective and efficient South African logistics and network services for the benefit of country’s economy.
After his return, the Department of Public Enterprises will confirm the date for the Minister’s appearance before Parliament’s Standing Committee on Public Accounts (SCOPA) on a date to be agreed with the committee.
