Former Eskom CEOs have reached out to the power utility offering to help as SA faces another week of rolling blackouts.
Public enterprises minister Pravin Gordhan told the ANC’s national executive committee meeting on Monday the former CEOs were likely to bring former power station managers who have much-needed experience to the company which faces, among its many challenges, a skills shortage.
Gordhan was briefing the NEC about the state of Eskom amid the rolling blackouts which reached stage 6 last week. On Monday, Gordhan sought to assure the meeting that sooner rather than later the energy situation would improve and the stage 6 blackouts were likely to be reduced to stage 2 by the end of the week.
There were significant skills shortages in operational depth and experience and there was an active recruitment process to find former operators who might have left Eskom but also to restart training and upgrading programmes.
