"We strongly urge that it is a time for calm and well-executed actions, and we express our support for Eskom leadership and staff who are managing through this crisis," the Energy Council of South Africa, Business Unity South Africa , and Business Leadership South Africa said in a joint statement.
As SA hit Stage 6 load shedding this week, Mantashe pushed for Eskom management to fix the operational issues or step down.Aside from claiming on Thursday that Eskom was"actively agitating for the overthrow of the state" through load shedding, Mantashe has launched attacks on CEO André de Ruyter in recent months, and previously told News24 that De Ruyter should be replaced with someone who has technical capabilities.
Eskom also says it has run out of funds for diesel, to run its Open Cycle Gas Turbines , which are used to prevent higher stages of load shedding. The utility burnt through R12 billion in diesel this year, which is double its initial budget, due to significant usage of the OCGTs.The Energy Council, BLSA and BUSA also asked government on Thursday to deal with the diesel problem.
