In her pursuing an old case against Pravin Gordhan when Eskom needs all hands on deck, it is easy to think she’s part of a Zuma fightback plan.
When South Africa first had load shedding there was a positive spin: economic growth was so good that the addition of new businesses onto the grid was putting a strain on the electricity supply.
You don’t have to be a conspiracy theorist to link the dots. Gordhan is smack in the middle of the electricity blackout crisis. He represents the country’s best chance of getting some sort of a turnaround at the power utility, even if it’s just temporarily. Let’s not forget that fired head of Sars Tom Moyane has also applied for the right to cross-examine Gordhan at the Commission of Inquiry into State Capture. No one should be above reproach. So if there really is a case for Gordhan to answer, he mustn’t be spared.
