Deputy president David Mabuza has urged South Africans to stop making problems at Eskom about race.

Mabuza, who was answering oral questions in the National Council of Provinces, said he is concerned about the racial tone that South Africans, especially MPs, take when they discuss problems at the power utility.

“I've heard this tone in this house before and to which I want to say, we are leaders in our own right and in terms of our own constitution we said we want to build a non-racial, prosperous SA. I think we must desist to look at problems through the eye of racialism, through the eye of racism,” he said.

“We must move away [from that], otherwise we are regressing as a country. That's my appeal,” he said. EFF MP Sam Zandamela had asked about black executives who had been suspended while under investigation, or for incompetence, while their white counterparts remained in their jobs. “We are asking you again, is it only black African managers who get suspended pending investigations at Eskom?” he asked.

That is true Mr deputy President if speak the truth like that you will make a good state President

Useless

Speaking sense there

They invented it

We never had problems like this at Eskom Under Brian Molefe, if load shedding was there was very limited.

President is always shocked and saddened, deputy president is worried heban 😩

Actions speaks louder than words, nothing to do with race. Our democracy administration was manipulated by the government institutions.

Well, who are ones that took Eskom_SA to the ground?
