In response to a Democratic Alliance (DA) parliamentary question, Defence and Military Veterans Minister, Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula, said Denel cannot continue to exist in its current form: "[it] is clear, without a significant bailout by government, Denel will not be able to exist in its current form and will not be in a position to meet its contractual obligations to Armscor."
Interim Denel Chief Executive,Talib Sadik, is on record as saying that Denel would not seek any government equity injections to stay afloat: "[at] this stage it is not in our plan." Sadik is reported as saying in an interview, when asked if Denel would approach government for further bailouts; "[our] view is we need to fix our own house, because what we have is a bit of moral hazard".
