The Committee requested Safcol to forward a copy of the transformation plan. Since Safcol was a state-owned entity, transformation should be a high priority. Concern was also expressed that the trade union was not represented on the Board. The entity made an undertaking to send the bursary information table to the Committee which would reflect more information about the fields of study and who received bursaries. The DPE informed the Committee that the remaining shares in the entities Safcol had sold off were earmarked for empowering communities surrounding these plantations through a community trust.
