Will changing departments help?

Image:The ANC’s calls for Eskom to be placed within the energy ministry has sparked fierce debate, with some arguing it will make little difference to the energy crisis.

The move was proposed during a policy discussion at the ANC’s recent national conference and would see state entities led by relevant departments. The move would see the power utility placed within the energy portfolio.He criticised Eskom’s management in May last year, saying he could not understand why the power utility was resorting to load-shedding when it allegedly had enough electricity in its reserves, and said outgoingWhile some welcomed such a move, others questioned whether Mantashe would prioritise Eskom.

Nope 👎

No. Not even a new CEO. Just fix the politics by a ballot vote.We are stuck until at least 2024.

Of course it won’t help. Mantashe hasn’t got a clue.

😂😂😂😂😂

No it will be a disater

I actually don't care, but just get rid of the oxygen thief in the picture..

Would your father using a condom helped us from the cANCer?

Your question is not even worth an answer

This clown was thrown out of Boswell wilkie circus . An absolute DOOS

No

The problem is ANC

How to fix our power crisis. Give it to the man who: Blocked IPP's, Tried to push Wild Coast exploration, Has been pushing Karpower ships. Pro coal. Could he be intent on making life so difficult for us that we plead for Karpower ships? Just a thought.

I hardly use curse words, but f*%?! you. You have done a great job of bleeding this country dry. All of you, ANC look like fattened calves. DIK GESTEEL, EN GAAN NIE OPHOU NIE TOT DAAR NIKS OOR IS NIE! SKAAM JULLE!

An overwhelming NO!!

No. It will only enrich Mantashe.

The MYANC corrupt thieves are still incharge... no change in the world will help... viva African National Crooks viva✊

It is quite absurd but alas predictable to imagine a national emergency is resolved by a bureaucratic shuffle especially one which places the entire grid in the hands of the man primarily responsible for the blackouts

No changing the Governing party will

Seriously 😒

South Africa I would like to inform that ZESA in Zimbabwe is under the Ministry of Enery .Do the Maths🤣🤣🤣🤣

No definitely no it the mindset that must change ..freedom charter people shall benefit from the countrys wealth

All we are getting is the strengthening of the current crooks who are stealing coal from Eskom. And the ships and nuclear will now be rapidly escalated before 2024

If rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic did help...

This shows that politicians are just USELESS

NO another smoke screen

Yes changing ANC will definitely help.

At the rate of emigration out of the country, there will be no one left to loadshed.

Wel let’s see. “Question”Would by a second hand car from this man? I wouldn’t 🤣😂🤣👏

The actual infrastructure is beyond repair so nothing is going to help at all!

No what a disaster. Are there thieves waiting to pounce. I think so.

How can one not be blown away by GwedeMantashe1 enthusiasm and winning attitude?

Guaranteed changing governments will.
