Without alternative power generation capacity, unemployment will remain rampant in South Africa, DBSA chief executive Patrick Dlamini said.
Cape Town - Without alternative power generation capacity, unemployment will remain rampant in South Africa, Development Bank of Southern Africa chief executive Patrick Dlamini said on Tuesday.
The DBSA CEO said Eskom was in a bind because of a number of factors - including low economic growth, planning inefficiencies and legislation. "Look at the Medupi and Kusile power stations. They are operating at some 30 percent of their design capacity. Again why did you allow it to happen because when you don't have regulations that will deal with the rot and governance you are bound to have these kind of issues...," said Dlamini.
