“Internal corruption is largely at the back of empowerment policies that promote local small businesses”, says Eskom board member Mteto Nyati.
There are many rules around procurement that explain why Eskom's power stations keep breaking down, he says.
“Right now we need to be focusing on who is the best person for the job, because those are the ones who should be fixing what needs to be fixed, regardless of how they look.”“We need to discuss these things with the relevant people and clear the way for management so they can go and execute.” Through his committee the board will be more closely and supportively engaged with the management of the utility than any Eskom board has been before.
As someone who spent years in senior leadership positions at IBM and Microsoft before being headhunted as CEO to turn around MTN SA and then Altron, Nyati says he is aware there are lines that must not be crossed.
