DENEL TO TOUT IN LIBYA

A DELEGATION from armaments parastatal Denel will be represented on this week’s high-powered trade visit to Libya. However, CEO Max Sisulu said at the weekend that Denel is not planning to sell weapons to Libya. He said: “We are not going there to sell arms, we are going there to sell South Africa.” Sisulu noted that Denel comprises 22 companies selling a variety of high-tech equipment in addition to arms, including soya products, money counters, plastics and demining systems.
