Ugesi omningi waseNingizimu Afrika uhlinzekwa ngabakwa-Eskom ngoxhaxha lweziteshi eziphehla ugesi ngamalahle osekuphele iminyaka zisetshenziswa ngokweqile futhi zinganakekelwa kahle.U-Eskom unamandla amancane okusekela, okwenza kube nzima ukukhipha amayunithi ungaxhunyiwe ku-inthanethi ukwenza umsebenzi obalulekile wokulungisa.
Inhlangano isilahlekelwe yimali iminyaka futhi, naphezu kokwenyuka kwamanani entengo kumakhasimende, isathembele ekutakulweni kukahulumeni ukuze ihlale iqinile.Iminyaka yokungaphathi ngendlela kanye nenkohlakalo ehlelekile kukholakala ukuthi yizona zizathu ezibalulekile ezenze u-Eskom wehluleka ukugcina izibani zikhanya.
Ikhomishana ebiphenya kabanzi ebiholwa nguJaji Raymond Zondo ngenkohlakalo nokukhwabanisa ezinkampanini zikahulumeni eNingizimu Afrika iphethe ngokuthi amalungu ebhodi langaphambili lakwa-Eskom kumele ashushiswe ngenxa yokwehluleka kwabaphathi kanye “nesiko lenkohlakalo.”
