6. Issues raised by the Committee The Committee raised the following issues: 6.1 The Committee acknowledged that Denel anticipated a financial break- even in 2014/15 but was concerned with the continued financial losses by DSA. 6.2 The Committee noted with concern that DSA was not expecting any income from the airbus A400M project in the foreseeable future, that SAAB had withdrawn its 20% shareholding and the adverse effects these two factors would have on the viability of the entity going forward. 6.3 The Committee was concerned about how important and strategic the A400M project was for DSA, and inquired whether there were prospects of new strategic partners for DSA. 6.4 Clarity was sought on the reasons why SAAB terminated its shareholding in DSA and what the financial implications were for the entity. 6.5 What interventions were required from government to ensure that DSA had a conducive policy environment, and what was it that the executive had not done to enable DSA to progress? 6.6 Information was sought on Aerosud, which was the company that proposed to acquire DSA, on whether the proposal entailed a total takeover or a strategic partnership. 6.7 Detailed information was sought on all non-core assets that would be outsourced. What would this process entail? 6.8 The Committee expressed concern at the challenges facing DTA and proposed that the entity work closely with FET colleges to improve on its capacity for enrolment.
