As calls increase on the government to expedite energy generation from independent producers, politicians are having a field day with their conjuncture.

That’s beside some economic activities in her community having collapsed as a consequence of damaged electrical equipment repudiated by insurers. Yet, promises are recycled into platitudes with no end in sight. In March 2019, public enterprises minister Pravin Gordhan said Eskom will overcome the electricity crisis in two years’ time.

But the blackouts went completely haywire, exposing Gordhan’s vacuity of ideas to arrest the root cause of the crisis. Moreover, outgoing Eskom CEO Andre de Ruyter couldn’t account for putting the country under the worst stages of load-shedding in history. In July 2022, President Cyril Ramaphosa announced a 10-point crisis plan to be implemented over two years. Still, De Ruyter couldn’t pull it off. So, no amount of red herrings will gloss over such ineptitude. Even that blame-shifting narrative of “nine wasted years” won’t wash. Load-shedding has decimated most of the socioeconomic transformation milestones. Register or sign in now.
