Although South Africa spent much of last week at Stage 5 or 6 of rolling blackouts, and there is still much more pain to come, it should not be surprising that the ANC is divided on how to handle the country’s energy problems.
The Energy Council’s CEO, James Mackay, made the point last week that there is a huge shortage of trust among all the role players, underlining the sense of chaos that South Africa suffers because of the ANC’s internal chaos. This is largely due to supply problems in China and because of increased demand in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.It should be no surprise to anyone who has followed our politics over the past 15 years that Mantashe is at the centre of both of the big issues of this moment: continuous power cuts and President Cyril Ramaphosa’s continued stay in office.
Manthase should become the new CEO of Eskom, if only to proof he has the balls to fix this catastrophe caused over a long period by the ANC....
Must it always to about race, renewables that haven't shown to be reliable where implemented and ESG? Why can't we just fix the issues and kick out the problem causing people for good?
Still wish I could hear and understand the spitting
The ANC is so fixated on money, power and race. It is simple, exempt Eskom from BBBEE.

Ramaphosa always lies and speak about a plan in place
marinavanzyl It's not an our country crisis, neither is it an Eskom crisis. It's an ANC crisis.

Eskom is a cash cow for anc cadres. 15 years meetings and blaming apartheid don't fix it. Voting anc out
This is not a government its a crime syndicate
In a nutshell, 'André de Ruyter is the best. He did you a favor in taking this job Gwede is the worst. Let's not blame de Ruyter, find someone else to blame. The BBC, BMF or Lumkile Mondi. Thanks bye!' Why speak in riddles to communicate such a straight forward issue?
They do! Gwede is clear that incompetence must be gotten rid of. André de Ruyter is the face of such incompetence
