Government blamed for snail`s pace of Ariel privatisation
[Bronwen Kausch] The privatisation of Ariel Technologies, the IT arm of Denel, with Datavia, the IT division of Transnet, and the IT arm of Eskom is still no further ahead more than a month after the elections.
Zeth Malele, MD of Ariel Technologies, was unwilling to comment but said the matter was in the hands of the Department of Private Enterprises.
The merged group would focus on providing high-end business solutions, including systems integration, outsourcing, e-commerce and enterprise software implementation.
