Eskom must attract people with appropriate skills: Analyst:
Energy Analyst and Managing Director of EE Publishers, Chris Yelland says expertise of theRamos’ appointment has however not been confirmed.The unbundling of the power utility is expected in June this year. The struggling Eskom allegedly came close to imploding financially in recent days.In his budget speech in February, Finance Minister Tito Mboweni said pouring money directly into Eskom in its current form is like pouring water into a sieve.
Eskom was at risk of not meeting its debt repayment obligations. Yelland says these funds will do nothing to fix the problems at Eskom. He says Eskom has lost people with appropriate skills to run the organisation. “The loss of those skills is devastating to Eskom.”It is important for Eskom to attract people with the right skills from within the country and abroad because solutions will not be found in textbooks but rather in the correct expertise.”
