Jon Duncan’s well-written and balanced opinion piece does not shy away from laying out the challenges South Africans face in implementing a greener trajectory than the one the country is now on.
However, the conclusion Duncan draws does not flow logically from the important and sobering facts that permeate his article. It is far from “clear” that Eskom can be fixed “through global concessionary climate funding”. True, the apparent impossibility of financing Eskom’s growing debt has caught the attention of many.
Yet it is mainly operational and management failings that resulted in the rolling blackouts that plague the country. Setting aside for now the almost traditional sabotage claim, sources as disparate as statements by Eskom’s COO and last week’s report by the CSIR are clear on this. It will take something other than mere money to fix Eskom.Send us an e-mail with your comments. Letters of more than 300 words will be edited for length. Send your letter by e-mail to
