Eskom has yet again entered stage 4 load shedding where 4,000MW is removed from the grid. The latest reasons include diesel shortages, Mozambique supply issues with cyclone damage and boiler tube leaks at a number of plants.
While a technical team has been given four weeks to evaluate and provide a report on Eskom, load shedding continues to cripple the country. Having Deputy President David Mabuza head up the joint special cabinet committee on Eskom hardly sends the right signal either. He oversaw the province of Mpumalanga where he was allegedly involved in tender fraud and multiple political killings.
The DA would privatise the generation part of Eskom which will allow for power units to be properly maintained and stockpiled, allowing well-functioning metros to source power directly from Independent Power Producers and freezing the build on the outstanding units at Kusile. Eskom needs to immediately freeze the build on the last two outstanding units at Kusile, and instead look to bring on more IPPs to provide power.
