Minister of public enterprises Pravin Gordhan and Eskom chair Jabu Mabuza. Picture: Freddy Mavunda
He transcended his immediate business interest to embrace the need to ensure that the economy is inclusive, transformed and delivers for all South Africans. Mabuza was a businessperson with a deep love for this country and a passion to contribute towards the country’s economic and social development.
When President Cyril Ramaphosa appointed me minister of public enterprises in 2018, the country was in the midst of rolling load-shedding — even though that is still the case — with Eskom experiencing operational, financial and governance challenges. The country was just getting to grips with the phenomena that was state capture and its effect on our state-owned enterprises.
My first encounter with Jabu Mabuza as Eskom board chair was characterised by a “business unusual” approach as we pondered the enormous task that lay ahead, and it was clear from the onset that egos should not get in the way. We immediately got rid of officialdom. I called him Jabu and he called me Pravin. Jabu always reminded me that he was a self-made businessperson who started his business empire in the taxi industry during the 1980s.
Mabuza contributed immensely to the stabilisation of Eskom and availed himself when many leaders were reluctant to contribute their skills and expertise to managing our SOEs, especially the troubled Eskom. He proved to be a hardworking and courageous business leader, not averse to making difficult strategic decisions.
South Africa will be richer if Pravin Gordhan voetsek
