Western Cape premier Alan Winde has written to finance minister Enoch Godongwana objecting to the proposal to exempt Eskom from disclosing its financial statements.

In terms of the proposal, the power utility will not have to disclose irregular, fruitless and wasteful expenditure in its financial statements for 2022/23 and the following two years.invitation for comment on the matter must comply with the requirements of the Fair Administrative Procedures Regulations 2002 made under the Promotion of Administrative Justice Act .

“As South Africa has spent the majority of 2023 in various stages of load-shedding, it is without question that the life of each resident has been adversely affected by the failings of Eskom. Any measure pertaining to the oversight of Eskom and the preventive measures taken to reduce the scope of corruption at Eskom affects the lives and rights of all residents,” said Winde.
