  • Poisoned chalice: Chris Yelland, managing director of EE Business, says the alleged attempted murder of Andre De Ruyter will likely scare off credible people from the Eskom CEO position so that criminal syndicates could continue to dominate and thrive off the corrupt practices at the power utility. Yelland also says there is a fear that De Ruyter’s replacement will be a political appointment rather than the best-skilled person for the job. [CapeTalk]

  • Eskom in the hot seat: MPs will be hauling Eskom management before parliament before it officially opens next month, demanding answers for the extended and elevated levels of load shedding in the country over the past few months. Parliament will seek answers for why load shedding is currently so bad, and wants Eskom to tell it what it intends to do to resolve the problems. Public Enterprises committee chairperson Khaya Magaxa said the outlook for load shedding in 2023 was not positive. [EWN]

Politics responsible for both.
