Important South African company collapsing in front of everyone's eyes

Denel, South Africa's state-owned aerospace and defence company, has collapsed to a level where it is barely functioning.

Denel is the primary supplier for the South African National Defence Force (SANDF). It designs, develops, manufactures, and supports defence material.

Amazing how capable the RET & co. are when it suits them.... anyone else smell a socialist destructive rat yet?

By design or by nature ?

By design or by nature ?

Both.

Former Denel employee Stef Pretorius said that a transformation agenda replaced the focus on employing the most skilled and competent people.

This, in turn, shifted Denel’s traditional focus from engineering methods to finding solutions and producing results to an ideologically driven company.

No ways, diversity is our strength! Hire for quotas, not for the skill you need.

If you want to f*** something up properly, just give it to the cancer that is the ANC

Although the elite are like cancer and emptied the piggy bank so skilled workers will be wasting their talents.

To think.... I once spent a good hour discussing guided missile tech with a Denel engineer as he was testing the tracking gimbal with a lit cigarrette... .Designed and built by Denel. From scratch. That was our level of independence.

Gone. All that skill is gone. Destroyed by everyone's favourite cANCer.

Major success story worth celebrating.

I see it got the Eskom treatment.

And SAA and the Post Office and Transnet.
