Questions and answers

Journalist: Mr Manyi there was speculation and you also mentioned it at the last cabinet briefing that there might be changes to the CEO of Transnet. What transpired at the Transnet Annual General Meeting (AGM) and did the Minister decide not to make any changes in light of the outcry that followed his announcements with regard to Denel and Eskom where people said he was acting without warning and without consultation? Thanks.
