Cabinet must forget squabbles and back the Mboweni plan

Mboweni has a thick enough skin to deal with the internal fallout from his move to throw the department’s views into the economic debate. It may just be the dry log that will help refuel the fires driving the new administration to deal with our economic malaise.

overnment needs to ensure its departments align themselves in a way that boosts investor confidence and takes advantage of any low-hanging fruit, including appointing the right executives at the most important of state institutions, starting with Eskom.The state of Eskom has clearly placed a cap on SA’s growth potential as it grapples with getting Medupi and Kusile fully functional while simultaneously dealing with a long maintenance backlog.

This is just one of many appointments that should be made as soon as possible, so we get the source of 95% of SA’s electricity back into a strong and stable operational position. It is important to get the right people into the most important positions within the state and its various institutions, and to get the SA government, 30% contributor to the overall economy, functioning optimally.
