    INVESTIGATION INTO THE LEVEL OF SKILLS DEVELOPMENT AT TELKOM AFTER PRIVATIZATION
    (2011-10-24) MOFOKENG, LOUIS
    The skills profile of South African workers does not match current or future market needs and contributes to poor performance by industries. The purpose of the research was to investigate whether Telkom has been able to utilize the opportunity of privatization to assist in empowering its workforce with skills training for the benefit of the company‟s growth. Documentary analysis was at the foremost of the methodological approach in this research. The findings indicate the existence of a number of training initiatives for skills development. Telkom expenditure on skills development is the highest in the sector from 2004 to 2007. It is therefore imperative for Telkom to continue to improve on skills development initiatives in the context of global competition and to fulfil the call by government for all South African companies to invest in skills programmes.

    Negotiating the Debt Portion of the Port of Maputo Privatisation
    (2011-10-07) Johnstone, Gordon
    Public Private Partnerships are becoming a key trend with regard to the provision of infrastructure in the Southern African region, as evidenced by the increasing number of Public Private Partnership transactions taking place. These transactions depend on financing and, for them to be a success, a thorough understanding of the factors affecting the debt and equity sides of the transaction is necessary. This study, through the use of the Port of Maputo as a case study and in depth interviews with selected respondents, sought to determine these factors and to gain a better understanding of them. The financing process, mitigating factors in relation to success factors, risk and conflict have all been explored. The initial model therefore explores the conflict in the financing side of PPP transactions and then posits various reasons for the possible failure of PPP transactions and how these reasons can be mitigated, as well as possible success factors in the financing side of these transactions
