Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan says it’s likely thatGordhan was speaking during a media briefing where he announced Eskom’s newly appointed board members.
“And part of the reason that we are at level four is firstly, unplanned outages are still sitting at around 5000 MW and planned outages also around 15000 MW and those need to be rapidly reduced in order that more megawatts are available and the expectation is that many units will be returning over the next 72hrs to service and if it all goes well, there’ll be more megawatts available in the system.”He added that the board will assume its role as of Saturday.
“The new members of the board are firstly, Mpho Makwana, he’s going to be the chairperson, the next member is Dr Busisiwe Vilakazi and I’ll give you a brief CV of each of them in a moment, the next Leslie Mkhabela, Fatima Ghani, Ayanda Mafuleka, Tsakani Mthombeni, Claudelle Von Eck, Bheki Ntshalintshali, Clive le Roux and Rod Crompton.”

We know that, we saw it when he filled the new board with accountants instead of engineers
We already know that Pravin's job together with Ramaphosa is to collapse Eskom and sell it to US, UK and other members of G7 who will capture Eskom by stopping coal and roll out renewable energy to their own benefit
