Eskom
Eskom’s chief nuclear officer, Riedewaan Barkadien, has handed in his resignation from the power utility after spending 27 years at the state-owned entity.
President Cyril Ramaphosa recently reflected on Eskom's decision to plunge South Africa into various stages of rolling blackouts in his weekly newsletter.
The Congress of South African Trade Unions (Cosatu) believes that Eskom should be declared a state of emergency but that the utility should not be privatised.
The African National Congress National Executive Committee said it's concerned about the effects of loadshedding on the lives of South Africans and the economy.
Eskom’s former CEO Brian Molefe was ordered by the North Gauteng High Court to pay almost R10 million to the power utility's pension and provident fund (EPPF).
President Cyril Ramaphosa said that he wants Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan to put an end to the prolonged, targeted loadshedding in townships.
Striking Eskom workers accepted the power utility’s 7% wage increase offer. They also suggested that the power utility should pay them a R15 000 once-off fee.
The African National Congress’ national executive committee meeting was called to discuss the electricity crisis, energy shortage and blackouts in South Africa.
Stage 6 loadshedding will leave some South Africans unemployed as certain companies have been forced to lay off staff, according to Business Leadership SA.
