Public enterprises minister Pravin Gordhan on Thursday told MPs Eskom was neither broken nor dysfunctional but faced serious challenges.
However, Gordhan said the attacks on the party were not justified as some individuals were truly committed to fixing the mess in“Reference to the ANC as criminals is wrong. There are many honest, dedicated, patriotic South Africans who are members of the ANC, just as there are members of the DA, EFF, IFP or any other party.
Mkhuleko Hlengwa of the IFP lamented the 26 days of load-shedding so far this year costing the country billions of rand. Eskom’s national control manager has told parliament they predicted 100 days of rolling blackout throughout winter. Eskom has become a curse word in every household in our country because this entity is unable to deliver on its mandate to generate enough energy to power our national grid“Estimates gauge that load-shedding costs SA’s economy R500m per stage, per day. Eskom has become a curse word in every household in our country because this entity is unable to deliver on its mandate to generate enough energy to power our national grid,” said Hlengwa.
