‘Minister cannot act like a bull in a china shop’
The Black Business Council (BBC) has accused the public works minister, Dean MacPherson, of poking his nose in the operational matters of the Independent Development Trust (IDT), the public entity in charge of rolling out social infrastructure across South Africa.
MacPherson is in the government as a minister through the DA ticket.
BBC president Elias Monage told Sunday World on Friday that his organisation is demanding an audience with the minister to address issues related to his alleged interference.
Tension has been brewing between MacPherson and the IDT bosses over issues relating to tenders, administration and organisational affairs of the state-owned entity.
