So a very big and bold and critical statement to make about the state right now.

Pretorius cited the impact on business from the collapse of both Eskom and Transnet as the main reasons, but he also highlighted the social knock-on from the implosion at Transnet which has “placed commuters at the mercy of the mini-bus industry”.
