The DA’s Natasha Mazzone has called for a debate on the financial crisis at Eskom following the swearing in of South Africa’s 6th Parliament and the election of a new Speaker.
Mazzone said the opposition party would write to the new Speaker requesting “a debate of national importance on the unfolding financial crisis at Eskom”. “The South African taxpayer, already burdened with rising electricity costs and flat-lining economy, cannot be expected to keep pouring billions of rands into the Eskom black hole, even as evidence continues to mount on the entity’s terminal decline.
“It is outrageous that the architects of state capture, some of whom were directly involved in the collapse of Eskom, will be sworn in as ‘honourable’ members of the 6th Parliament. Instead of facing consequences for bringing the country to close to financial ruin, they are being rewarded and protected by the ANC.”
