SHADOW COUNCIL UNVEILED: Tech Titans and Ex-Politicians SECRETLY Handed Keys to South Africa’s Economic Future for the NEXT FIVE YEARS.
In a SHOCKING move that reeks of corporate capture, Trade Minister Parks Tau has ILLEGITIMATELY installed a cabal of former politicians and connected tech executives onto the powerful Special Economic Zones advisory board. This SECRETIVE panel, operating until 2030, will have UNCHECKED control over lucrative tax breaks, infrastructure, and streamlined regulations meant for the PUBLIC GOOD.
This is not governance; it is a NAKED POWER GRAB. The board is chaired by a former deputy tourism minister with ZERO private sector expertise, while the so-called “independent” business representatives are DIRECTLY linked to global tech giants like NTT Data and Uber. These are the SAME corporations that have systematically dismantled local industries and exploited regulatory grey areas worldwide.
Why are the chiefs of FAILING state monopolies like Eskom and Transnet – entities synonymous with collapse and corruption – being given a VIP seat at this table? Their inclusion is a BLATANT admission that this board is designed to protect FAILED legacy systems, NOT to foster innovation. Meanwhile, true small business innovators and the public have been COMPLETELY locked out.
The implication is TERRIFYING: a handpicked elite, answerable to NO ONE, will now decide which sectors and which connected players get to feast on South Africa’s dwindling resources. This gazetted list is a BLUEPRINT for the next decade of cronyism, dressed up as policy.
Is this the final stage of South Africa’s democracy – where elected officials simply hand over the country’s economic levers to an unelected, corporate-controlled SHADOW COUNCIL? The deal is already signed. The question is, will the people ever get their country back?
