It is important to maximise the impact on the economy of the SOEs and agencies that report to the DOT and ensure that they continue to implement aggressive transformation policies. The SOEs and agencies will contribute towards economic growth by significantly increasing levels of investment and implementing best practice human resource development (HRD) strategies on a large scale to create a cadre of highly-skilled employees who can raise the productivity of investment in the transport sector and the economy. The restructuring of state assets will proceed in a manner that does not reverse the gains made by SOEs and agencies in areas such as ownership, employment equity, procurement and job creation.
