Minister Alec Erwin resigns
24 September 2008
The Minister of Public Enterprises has fully briefed the staff of the department, the chairpersons and Chief Executives of the State of Environment (SOE) of his decision to resign as both the Minister of Public Enterprises, and a Member of Parliament (MP), with effect from Thursday, 25 September 2008.
Given that he had already communicated his decision to retire, a detailed, as in other government departments, handover report was in the process of being compiled. Accordingly the department and the state-owned entities (SOEs) will continue to focus on their very important task of delivery to the South African economy.
