Simple: whatever policy is in place doesn’t work and there is no co-ordination or any intervention because the situation doesn’t get any better,” he said.

The lack of energy security, said Xulu, is devastating to SA’s economy and erodes the confidence of citizens in government. “It doesn’t work if you don’t have a reliable energy solution and I think now we get to a stage where we are on our own unless something drastic happens to Eskom. “We don’t believe there is a plan at Eskom to save it — a lot is happening, everyone seems to be doing their own thing but this economy is at the greatest risk now if nothing happens at Eskom,” he said.

It can't work, because GwedeMantashe1 is a huge supported of cadre deployment. His first priority is towing the party line and doing what's best for the MYANC
