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 & energy.

Council spokesperson Sthandiwe Msomi added that the resolution acknowledged a need to cut down on “unnecessary government expenditure as it will lead to a much more reduced cabinet”.

The council recalled that Mantashe and his DMRE team have often emphasised the necessity of advancing the Integrated Resource Plan of 2019, which promotes an energy mix to provide South Africans access to reliable and cost-effective electricity. “International players and different lobby groups have opposed Mantashe and the DMRE's firm stance on prioritising the needs of our sovereign state and its developmental agenda because their interests are more centred on maximising personal profit through participation in private power generation and less on South Africa's energy security.”“The government's strategic policy direction should not be dictated or influenced by foreign lobby groups or corporations,” Msomi said.

Are these departments from different government / political parties or the same, before I cast my vote. Just asking. Okanye siyaqheleka. Fix the grid and stop playing you old topies.

For the fact that they're supporting this move, they should now be called the South African Youth Poverty Creation Council.

It doesn’t matter what department it goes to it will still be f&cked as long as ANC is around they steal and f&ck everything up!
