The Committee was told that the main issue was that the business was in trouble. The Board would meet on 6 December to discuss the turnaround plan, to review the vertical integration of Safcol, and to make a decision on Ifloma on whether to disengage or to continue and in what form. It also needed to engage with the Department on what would happen to Komatiland (the understanding was that government was moving away from privatisation and waiting on the Minister of Public Enterprises for confirmation). Safcol needed to engage with the Department on the remaining shareholding in the four forestry packages already privatised and to consider expanding the developmental role to see if land claimants could become partners in Safcol.
