The Department of Public Enterprises (DPE) was one of the ministries of the South African government. It was the government's shareholder representative with oversight responsibility for a number of state-owned enterprises (SoEs). The department was shut down after the 2024 elections[2] and folded into the Department of Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation (DPME) during the process of implementing a new shareholder model.
