After failing to halt rolling electricity blackouts that have added to the country’s economic woes, Eskom suffered another blow on Friday, 10 January 2020 as the state-owned enterprise lost its chairman of the past two years. Jabu Mabuza resigned two weeks into renewed electricity rationing , as the utility failed to keep the lights on.
More board members are likely to follow in Mabuza’s footsteps. Mabuza was the utility’s sixth chairman since 2008. On 10 December 2019, Eskom told the president and government ministers that they would minimise the risk of load shedding during the festive holiday period, leading into the third week of January 2020. However, during the last week of December, electricity rationing resumed as Eskom lost about 15,000MW of generating capacity.
presidencyza , cyrilramaphosa must be absolutely shocked 😳 that Mabuza has resigned . How could he leave us in the dark as to why i mean that literally Mr President 🙅🏽♂️
SikonathiM Guys. This is expecting a captain to sail the Titanic again. Eskom is done. No matter who or what is leading it. The band is playing (luckily string instruments...). If no independent power producers can provide life rafts to the sinking SA economy,we're doomed.
Cyril's view on who to run Eskom is much like thinking a good captain can still sail the Titanic. Eskom has sunk. Get independent power producers up and running before SA totally collapses.
A rat jumping the sinking ship. He have been singularly a great failure who does not have the intellectual or professional capacity to be in charge of more than a train station. You cannot take a job and fail at it, only blame others.
Load of nonesense!
What about your boss, Pravin?
He resigned to go find his hat.
SikonathiM Clearly we are unable to resolve this issue on our own. Is there a reason why we can't temporarily import capable engineers to stabilize the ship?
SikonathiM Right thing to do
SikonathiM Jamnandas must follow him
