Members of the African National Congress’s national executive committee concluded a three-day meeting on Monday to discuss the energy crisis. Eskom Holdings last week began cutting as much as 6,000 megawatts, or about a fifth of demand, from the national grid after a pay strike disrupted its operations.
South Africans have been subjected to regular power cuts since 2008 because Eskom can’t meet demand. Gordhan and president Cyril Ramaphosa have repeatedly pledged to address the energy crunch to no avail. NEC members made a number of suggestions including bolstering Eskom’s board and crafting an electricity crisis plan with industry experts, the people said. The panel also debated whether Ramaphosa should address the nation on the outages, and one member suggested moving Eskom to the mining and energy ministry, reiterating a proposal that has come up several times, they said.
Me don't think so. If that was the case they would have removed the CEO long ago since he has proven time and again that he is not the right man to keep ESKOM lights burning.
These ANC thieves are beyond any redemption.Take no accountability for anything.They’ve brought SA+Eskom to its knees,then they plead ignorance.Eskom irks the NEC. What is that?! Eskom’s ANC’s biggest opposition Mantashe says. It’s like the rapist blaming the victim for the rape.
