‘We can no longer afford the blackmail that Eskom is too big to fail’: Stinging words at Nedlac summit

Tshefuta pointed out that the “battering effect” of the Covid-19 pandemic had worsened SA’s socioeconomic troubles and ruined the lives and livelihoods of many people.as an example, Tshefuta said the plight of households and communities was as important as the plight of the economy.

The effects of load-shedding were felt not only by big business but also pupils writing matric exams and whose futures were written off as a result.“You buy a kettle, there is load-shedding, the kettle is damaged, you must go and buy another.”fault lines in SA’s economy such as poverty and inequality, which had been worsened as people lost their jobs during the lockdowns.s wishes but was the result of people who lost their jobs during the lockdowns and turning to the informal sector to survive.

“Those are the channels through which we must begin to support other sectors of the economy,” said Tshefuta. It was also important to change the relationship communities had with infrastructure, he said. “Communities must no longer be passive consumers of infrastructure that government will come and deliver, but must be empowered with the necessary skills so they are active agents for the delivery of that infrastructure.

“It is only when communities are agents of the delivery of infrastructure that they will jealously guard it with their lives.”

Indirectly pushing for privatization of Eskom. We are in deep trouble...

He is probably promised something ... That statement is attached to a statement.

If you can't save Eskom resign and let those believe Eskom can be saved to chair the project of keeping the lights on and making Eskom to be profitable again.. What's tantamount to blackmail and hampering the supply of electricity to SA is you and Ramaphosa.
