“The great difficulty is the fact that the legislative process doesn’t make it a worthwhile investment because with this current law, if you don’t pass a cheaper Energy Bill, what you are going to end up saying to the people is that it is better to take a company and let it sell energy to Eskom, which doesn’t make it compatible.”“I’d want for South African companies, obviously, to be at the forefront of that. Technology has made us a global society.
