The ANC's NEC heard wide-ranging and spirited calls for intervention in response to the Eskom energy crisis, which ranged from the declaration of a state of emergency to immediately moving Eskom from the Dept of Public Enterprises to the Dept of Energy.

An ANC NEC meeting heard calls for the declaration of a state of emergency to deal with the power crisis, amid varying suggestions to deal with the matter.

The ANC's national executive committee heard wide-ranging and spirited calls for intervention in response to the Eskom energy crisis, which ranged from the declaration of a state of emergency to immediately moving Eskom from the Department of Public Enterprises to the Department of Energy. However, the ANC NEC did not make concrete resolutions on the way forward in the energy crisis gripping South Africa.

Gordhan came under attack in the meeting for not coming up with solutions to the problems and his handling of the situation publicly. He is said to have raised the ire of some NEC members for blaming sabotage for the ongoing crisis, which has led to stage 6 load shedding and unplanned blackouts across the country.

"The main point was that from the government, we look like we are not doing enough," the second insider said.Gordhan was further grilled on the state of the Eskom board, which, sources said, was described as"invisible during the crisis".

Eskom you can take your electricity but not the street lights more especially in the morning and at night some of us we walk to the taxi rank and others they nock off at 9pm,we need the lights because golefifi batho ba Modimo

The state of emergency is not eskom. It is the ANC govt

we must push humpty jamnampi off the wall ! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😷

the bullshit that they not involved is getting very old.

But smeone must be moved not the whole company!

It has begun: which consortium will be made responsible for that takatso

Will there be no corruption if the Department of Energy takes over Eskom as it is advised by the ANC NEC?

Why is Banyana Banyana not trending 🤔 Banyana_Banyana SAFA_net Ngcobo2010

They needed to have a meeting and “dialogue” while the country suffers. No prepared contingency - no idea. I hope this is the last of SA being governed by a “collective”. Useless ducks!!

.....there will be more enough electricity if all the ANC et al and other politcians share our loadshedding hours ....

Lol 🤣🤣😆 the Privatisation spring party dealth with a blow lol 🤣🤣🤣

Written by the notorious journalist. No condemning gordan. Birds of the same feather

Useless NEC, we have an ANC problem here. Moving things is never a solution. Sies

This curry boy has failed

So that Motsepes IPPs can take over mxm

Yes...Please take it away from that thieving pharmacist

This a calculated move to privetise Eskom away from the umbrella of SOE's and protect pravin from this next move. It would have been great to remove Ramaphosa

Crises or crisis?

In fact why is Eskom falling under Public Enterprises and not Energy? I don't understand 😳🤔

This statement is telling us that the African National Criminals will soon try to rob Peter to pay Paul... And then idiots like us will chant the organization name again.... 😂😂😂

the great minds collaborate, here comes kak

Not another state of emergency.🙄 Where is the money going to?🤔

I like the Idea of moving Eskom from DPE to DOE and fire Pravin while at it,Fokon Jamnanda

So the very people who broke and stole the system want a state of emergency so they can do more damage. The ANC is clueless

Are going to move the whole company instead of moving 1 person? Pravin has to go home

Gordhan and his corrupt ANC must all voetsek

It means someone else will steal the money!

Give it to the dinosaur! Let him show us how he will rescue eskom! But give him 6 months to sort it out!

Gwede's Karpowership deal loading 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️And SA will be stuck with the messy and expensive deal for 20 yrs, long after ANC no longer the Government.

Or rather fire Jamnandas
