Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan and Eskom board chairperson Jabu Mabuza are giving an update on the status of electricity supply in South Africa.
Dawie Roodt, chief economist with the Efficient Group, said the Eskom tariff increase will be the first of many to come.
“Eskom is hopelessly bankrupt, it is corrupt and is massively overstaffed and the majority of their power stations would require billions of rand to get them to properly function. Without a doubt, they are simply going to keep on increasing their tariffs,” Roodt said. “The situation at Eskom is dire – debts exceeding R420 billion, gross operational failures, general mismanagement and corruption is still very much the order of the day,” Roodt said.
