South Africans are facing another round of power cuts despite promises from South Africa’s power utility, Eskom, that it would keep the lights on.

When André de Ruyter resigned as the CEO of Eskom last week, the EFF expressed the thinking of our political class. In an official statement, dated 14 December 2022, entitled ‘De Ruyter’s resignation long overdue’, the EFF declared that the ‘Eskom CEO is incompetent, arrogant and useless and he was never qualified to be appointed to position.’

Intelligence reports obtained by Daily Maverick link two senior members of President Cyril Ramaphosa’s Cabinet to four criminal cartels operating inside Eskom.

If you haven’t yet seen Annika Larsen’s interview with outgoing Eskom CEO André de Ruyter on eNews Channel Africa, you should take an hour and do so.
