State defence company Denel has asked the government for a R2.8bn cash injection to help it emerge from a financial crisis

Denel, a cornerstone of the country's once-mighty defence industry, is one of several state firms whose finances were damaged by years of mismanagement during former president Jacob Zuma's tenure.

CEO Danie du Toit, appointed late last year to oversee a turnaround plan, said recovery efforts were progressing well and Denel could secure deals worth R30bn in the next two years if it received help to overcome acute liquidity constraints. Denel produces military equipment from ammunition and armoured vehicles to missiles and attack helicopters for the SA's armed forces and for export.

"We have an excellent return on investment potential on recapitalisation," Du Toit said in an interview at Denel's offices outside Pretoria.

State runs out of cash, struggles to pay salariesThe management of beleaguered state institutions and local municipalities reached new crisis levels after employees at a number of institutions were either not paid on time or not at all. Why do we have so many municipalities the demarcation board needs to look at this before local elections we don't need this many municipalities Eastern Cape always counted among those evil activities. To all those municipalities 99% management is black people. When our people we voted will come right once they are in paying positions. They look nice in those suites but brainless. Welcome to the future! Can’t wait for IMF to take over and give RET the snotklap it deserves ! EWC is gonna be expensive 😂😂😂😂😜😜😜😜
