Does SA need Denel?

[bwana]

Does SA need state owned enterprise Denel? Is it worth providing them with a "significant cash injections to support current operations and implement a new operating model"?

True

No, use the land to grow vegetables, this will make it more productive

 

[RedViking]

Yes. They need all the channels they can get to filter money through. Viva!

 

[TelkomUseless]

Agreed.

Most government departments can rather grow veggies and be more productive.

They could rather just pocket the money without trying to use a SEO as cover. They should optimize their looting and cut out the middle-man.

 

[Brian_G]

Defence is necessary. Our gov is crooked and useless. Guess I'll vote Other.

 

[Grubscrew]

Yes, but not with a government like the ANC in place.

old apartheid era ==> yes
new apartheid era ==> no

 

[Benedict A55h0le not]

Is there anything loot-worthy at Denel? Like ammo?

 

[Stonemason]

Without Denel the SANDF will, amongst others, not be able to maintain the Rooivalk helicopter, the armoured vehicles that it uses and the assault rifles issued to every soldier. There will be no small arms ammunition for the SANDF and they will have to throw away the world famous G5 and G6 artillery because only Denel can manufacture the specialised base-bleed shells that it uses.

If Denel closes down it will cost billions of dollars to replace the hundreds of military systems manufactured and maintained by them.

Or if they were your biggest customer last year.

 

[lkswan747]

Yes, where else will tax payer money be diverted to for easy looting?

We need the jobs, the innovation, the research and the technologies that flow out of defence research.
It is not about arms manufacturing in itself. It is about the knock multiplier effects that we all benefit from.

The SJW idiots will never understand that.

Use a Search Engine Optimization as cover?

I wish I could agree with you. I really do. The collapse of Denel will mean that the sandf would have to tender on the open market for a vast range of fixed and consumable items. In many cases this will be the international market. They simply don't have the infrastructure to do this without massive graft and fruitless expenditure. Over control will lead to excessive downtime of mission critical systems leading to a further decline in their readiness. If such a thing were possible that is.

Who is going to get that juicy tender....
Assuming there is any money for anything such as new weaponry anyway...

This army needs more front end loaders and cattle ramps to load up the porky ones...
