Gordhan’s Eskom ‘blame game’ underwhelms ANC leaders - Sources at a meeting of the national executive committee said a call was made to shift the power utility to Gwede Mantashe’s ministry of minerals and resources
Eskom confirmed on Sunday that stages four, five and six rotational blackouts would take place on Monday and Tuesday, with the stages for Wednesday to Friday being dependent on the return of generating units to service.
While Gordhan had said that agreements were reached on the wage negotiations, unions denied this, saying talks were ongoing. Gordhan was expected to make his presentation to the national working committee on Friday, but had asked for more time, the insiders said. The NEC is also said to have discussed the addition of executive capacity at Eskom to assist chief executive André de Ruyter and his team manage the blackouts.
“There was no decision reached. We only discussed this disaster and there was no decision taken. We wanted to know why, when black people participate in the coal industry, there is talk of a coal mafia … The only agreement that was made was that this is a disaster and we don’t have a concrete plan yet to get out of it,” one insider said.
