Public Enterprises youth development programmes

The Department of Public Enterprises (DPE) aims to provide effective shareholder management of state-owned companies (SOCs) that report to the Department and support and promote economic efficiency and competitiveness for a better life for all South Africans. The SOCs are strategic instruments of industrial policy and core players in the New Growth Path (NGP). The Department aims to provide decisive strategic direction to the SOCs so that their businesses are aligned with the national growth strategies arising out of the NGP. It will do this by ensuring that their planning and performance, investments and activities are in line with government's Medium-Term Strategic Framework and the Minister's Service Delivery Agreement.
