It’s a travesty that the once proud, high-performing Eskom is now a broken, underperforming shadow of its former self. Surely the ANC can see that it is unable to fix the utility?
Bring in the right international talent under an Eskom minister who is dedicated to energy generation; do not hand the entity to yet another recycled ANC minister such as Gwede Mantashe. Why would there be a different outcome from the same, useless cadres who make up the cabinet and the party’s national executive committee?
The South African delegation to the World Economic Forum at Davos has offered nothing to attract foreign investment. Making the correct moves at home will send a far stronger message in the face of other African offerings. The country is running on empty and desperately needs the best fuel to get the economy going. There is life beyond coal. And with coal, the sad truth is that corruption is so rife that blackouts will be here for a mighty long time.
Inverters and solar PV will save my sanity — but these are expensive solutions that not everyone can afford. One wonders if the ANC even cares.
The ANC does not care at all. About anything. Other than looting. Period.
Does parliament care not ANC
Hell no
No ucking way , the ANC only cares for themselves.
No, because it does not affect the bigwigs in the least, with their taxpayer sponsored generators, and blue light brigade who don't get stuck in traffic when the lights don't work.... And it affects everyone badly.....
Escalated food prices makes the grant's that they give to the people worthless. In the end they can completely remove them as this is what they want to do.
I doubt it very much. But what they do care about is having generators at all their residences at taxpayers expense, because they are on duty to serve the people 24/7. The people must be grateful for that.

READER LETTER | Eskom's problem is maintenance, not supplyEskom should focus on energy supply, maintenance and procurement, while the government provides policy on sources of energy. Well between the media and Eskom, it is Coal, then diesel ,then supply, and now it us maintenance They are lying in a circle and the media just spread these stories with out investigation. We need better quality media reporters in South Africa. Eskom must just do its job finish. Eskom's problem is capacity.
