Thando Maeko's article on the release of the National State Enterprises Bill for public comment refers (“Cosatu and DA oppose centralised SOE model”, January 20).

I’m with the ANC on transferring ownership of all state-owned enterprises (SOEs) into a single corporate entity. However, I would also like the ANC to give all the shares of that holding company to every black citizen born before 1994, in the ultimate BEE exercise.

The year 2025 is about bold new plans. How about it?
