The Eskom Board chairperson Mr Mpho Makwana addressed the nation yesterday, on the new plans in place and Update on System Challenges amid load shedding.
The new Eskom Board had to get off to a good start while
getting to know the engine room of the country’s important economic backbone,
ways of living and building sustainable livelihoods.
The
key levers to the success of the recovery of Eskom is the fixing of the
systematic issues that are troubling the organisation such as Leadership, organisational
culture and poor internal controls required to operate an organisation.
Eskom
Distribution Division will be intensifying their focus in Demand-side
Management efforts.
Criminals who are stealing coal and spares, and who commit
sabotage, must be held accountable. Eskom welcomes the recent arrests and the
deployment of the South African National Defence Force and requests a
redoubling of efforts in this regard to apprehend the leadership of the
syndicates.
Six power units are anticipated to return to service during
the week, allowing Eskom to maintain load shedding at the lower stages in this
period. There is considerable risk to
this as the coal plant is highly unreliable and unpredictable.
Eskom urged all South Africans is to use electricity
sparingly. Should further breakdowns occur, Eskom would be required to change
the stage of load shedding at short notice.
