No 'permanent' jobs were lost at Komati power station when its last unit was decommissioned last year, Eskom has said. This is contrary to claims by Mantashe that the energy transition at Komati power station was not 'just' given job losses.

Energy Minister Gwede Mantashe has criticised the energy transition at Eskom's Komati as not being"just".

The minister made the remarks last week during the Presidential Climate Commission's quarterly meeting. Eskom said that those permanent employees who left were reskilled, and others redeployed to other power stations. These efforts are supposed to ensure that communities and workers whose livelihoods were dependent on the station are not left destitute.
