JOHANNESBURG - Sabotage and the recent labour unrest have been placed at the centre of the latest Eskom power cuts, but opposition parties in Parliament are not convinced.On Tuesday, public enterprises minister Pravin Gordhan said the country was subjected to stage 6 load shedding, for the second time ever, due to unlawful strike action at its plants.
“You can’t just scapegoat labour. That’s a convenient excuse at the moment and there might be some truth to it. There are as I pointed out a host, a plethora of other issues which actually must be placed at minister Gordhan’s feet and he must address this."Meanwhile, GOOD Party Member of Parliament Brett Herron said South Africa was captured by a monopoly that could not deliver on its mandate.
He further called for diversification in the energy sector and the introduction of an independent supply of power. Herron said Eskom’s real crisis is a failure of skills and leadership, adding that the country could not afford the merry-go-round of unsustainable excuses.
