Pravin Gordhan must be investigated for Eskom's load shedding debacle

Kimberley - Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan should be investigated following remarks by Deputy President David Mabuza that he, along with the Eskom board, misled President Cyril Ramaphosa about the power utility's load shedding debacle.

This call was made by the legal think tank and lobby group Insika Economic Movement, who have called on government to probe the matter further. In December, after consultation with senior officials at the power utility, Ramaphosa promised South Africans that Eskom would keep the lights on until at least January 10 But this did not materialise, as load shedding resumed a week earlier. Speaking in Kimberley, Mabuza told journalists that the president had been told that there would be no load shedding during the festive season until January 10, but load shedding returned earlier than the promised date.

Mabuza's comments have touched a raw nerve with Insika with the movement calling for 'Gordhan to be dealt with'.

Jamnandas Gordhan must just hand himself over to the nearest SAPoliceService South African police station, he is just a criminal who thinks he owns SA & he can do whatever he wants because CyrilRamaphosa is weak and always shocked, there is lot of replacements who can take over

Bay'fake makhaleni bay' User 'Eskom'

Oh know u are not defending him wow

Thevu_Masiya He is probably getting his friends jobs for supplying diesel or something. Self created crisis

IamMosiuwaK Finish and klaar!

Those that fcuked around with the coal contracts, the building of Medupi and Kusile , the ones that didn’t do maintenance for decades need to be investigated!!!

In fact on top of investigations, Eskom_SA should sue this minister for falsifying allegations & putting the name of this institution into disarray. No Sabotage formed against us shall prosper.

PravinGordhan is the appointed champion of white capital PravinMustGo

mytouchrecords Those investigations can start when he is removed as a Min, nothing less

HloCofu The Pharmacist is very misleading...but again what did he know about electricity

Those wanting PravinGordhan to be investigated championed StateCapture n they want to soil the names of those pursuing StructuralEconomicReformSA so that SA fails.

Investage by who? The man looks untouchable even our president is scared of him.

Why are you waisting energy on something that is too obvious. Fire him. Simple

The sooner this is done the better please.

Question is . Who is saying this ?

Mabuza is up to something. It can't be that Cyril was always misled. 1st it was Bosasa donation, now is load shedding. This is nonsense

DjNewSouthAfric If we had a corrupt free Judiciary, corrupt free media, corrupt free NPA and a corrupt free system of governance we'd have hope but only a revolt and charged one at that can in all hope bring justice. We cannot be subjected to this. We're worse that women in Afghanistan

RSA is a banana republic

Don't forget fired

Pravin will demand an apology from DD & also to retract his comments🤷🏿‍♂️

This is indeed a banana country led by a Cupcake

He is one of the competent minister we hv and Mabuza mst jst stay on his line

Pravin needs to be out out to pasture. Just another cadre bullshitter. Talks the talk. But no action

I think we have had enough investigations already what we need is for the ANC to step down and the EFF to take over and be about African matters. All this nonsense of entertaining PG and Zille is tiring. South Africa has losing momentum and it needs to catch up soon.

KabeloMpyatona Lol they have made this man to be untouchable hes grown to big for his shoes

2nd power failure today, 6 hours apart! This shit has got to end, NOW! We all need to call for a Black Monday march & DEMAND that a state of emergency is declared and the inept and corrupt MYANC regime be re-called and placed under administration.

Why investigate just fire him. His got nothing to offer

You touch pravin you going to die politically. Hence matamela can't do nothing

It all started in 94. Deal with it people.

Scandals are about to come crushing on him (DD Mabuza), nobody touches the prime minister of South Africa ( Pravin Gordon )

They won’t do anything to him.

I support it.. How come all our SOEs are under fire and mess while he's a minister, How many ministers were fired for failing

I have heard this story alot with the ANC , no one knows anything , please the president knows fully well eskom is in trouble , this is an insult to the people of south Africa! No one lied to him or covered up anything , he is trying to cover himself by blaming Pravin !

He is gaining weight while payers battle to eat!

Crap

ANC “collective responsibility” isn't it?

Pravin and Jabu are not technically knowledgeable about blackouts, and thus also misled.

this is mabuza blaming gordhan for load shedding before 10 January..a minister goes so low to this level..

What a joke! 😂😂😋
