Youth economic council defends Eskom's proposed move to energy ministry: The South African Youth Economic Council has welcomed the proposal adopted by the ANC to move Eskom from the department of public enterprises to the department of mineral resources…
“This resolution also means that the confusion caused by frequently contradictory messages from DMRE and DPE on Eskom's problems, as well as the presented solutions, will come to an end.”
“The current notion in the public discourse and mainstream media, advanced by co-ordinated groups, seeks to paint minister Mantashe as an incompetent fossil fuel fundamentalist who is to blame for South Africa's electricity and energy crisis.“Our priority as South Africans should be on the science and mitigating factors for achieving energy security, rather than on individuals,” Msomi said.
The government's strategic policy direction should not be dictated or influenced by foreign lobby groups or corporations“Coal, gas, nuclear power and renewable energy sources all need to be a component of our grid's energy mix. As a council, we believe that this plan is pragmatic as it seeks to uphold our nation’s energy security,” Msomi said.
