Podcasts about Eskom

Die Suid-Afrikaanse Federasie van Vakbonde het Eskom se aankondiging sterk veroordeel om teen Maart 2026 'n halfmiljoen slimmeters te installeer, ten spyte daarvan dat hulle slegs 278 000 in voorraad het. Saftu se woordvoerder, Asive Dyani, sê dié Eskom-plan is teen-armoede, en 'n inkomstegedrewe obsessiewe beleid wat invordering bo diens, straf bo solidariteit en winste bo mense plaas:

Stephen Grootes speaks to Matthew Cruise, Energy Expert at IMPOWER, about Eskom’s push to reduce load shedding and improve electricity access through the accelerated rollout of smart meters, expanded Free Basic Electricity registration, and deployment of Distributed Energy Resources.

Die Nasionale Energiereguleerder van Suid-Afrika het ʼn konsultasiedokument vrygestel oor Eskom se aansoek om die berekeningsmetode vir heffings op verliese van ingebedde kragopwekkers te wysig. Nersa het in Augustus berekeningsfoute in sy vroeëre veeljarige prysbepaling vir die kragverskaffer verduidelik wat gelei het tot hoër tariewe van 54 miljard Suid-Afrikaanse rand vir 2026 en 2027. Nersa-woordvoerder Charles Hlebela sê Eskom wil die gewysigde metode instel in die 2026/2027-boekjaar se program vir standaardtariewe:

Cosatu het Eskom se nasionale bekendstelling van slimmeters verwelkom. Die projek is deel van die kragvoorsiener se groter plan om die nasionale netwerk te moderniseer. Eskom beoog om oor die volgende drie jaar 7,2-miljoen slimmeters deur die land te installeer. Die huidige fase van die bekendstelling sal na verwagting sowat 800 000 kliënte bevoordeel. Matthew Parks van Cosatu sê die projek is 'n belangrike deel van Eskom se maatskaplike ooreenkoms wat hulle aan die gang gesit het:

Stephen Grootes speaks to Bernard Swanepoel, Chair of the Joburg Indaba and former mining executive, about key takeaways from Day One - from how global geopolitics are reshaping South Africa’s mining landscape and the renewed importance of PGMs and gold, to what’s on the agenda tomorrow, including coal’s evolving role, reviving diamond mining, updates on Eskom and Transnet, and investor confidence ahead of the Minister’s address.

Lobby group AfriForum has temporarily halted a R54 billion settlement agreement between Eskom and energy regulator Nersa. The deal stemmed from an error at Nersa, affecting calculations for Eskom's revenue clawback amounts. Originally, Nersa approved tariff hikes of 5.36% for 2026 and 6.19% for 2027. However, admitting mistakes in depreciation and asset valuation, Nersa agreed Eskom could recover the additional R54 billion, pushing increases to 8.76% and 8.83% for those years.

Eskom sê hy neem kennis van die Appèlhof se uitspraak wat die omgewingsgoedkeuring vir die voorgestelde gekombineerdesiklus-gaskragaanleg van 3 000 megawatt in Richardsbaai, KwaZulu-Natal, tersydestel. Die hof het bevind daar was onvoldoende openbare deelname en daar is nie met kwesbare gemeenskappe beraadslaag nie. Hy voer ook aan ander hernubare energiebronne of kumulatiewe omgewingsgevolge is nie oorweeg nie. Eskom-woordvoerder, Daphne Mokwena, sê hulle bestudeer die uitspraak en oorweeg hul volgende stappe:

In a brisk, plain-spoken BNIC#2 Q&A, economist Dawie Roodt argues that South Africa's future prosperity won't be engineered by bureaucracy but built outside it—through skills, private capital, and technology that decouples work from place. He frames Bitcoin as an idea (money as a social construct), pours cold water on gold's fundamentals despite recent gains, and pegs the Rand's fair value near 17 on purchasing-power parity—stronger absent political shocks. With SOEs effectively "privatised by default," he backs full concessioning of Eskom and Transnet, urges a shift from credentials to skills, and warns high debt leaves markets vulnerable to external triggers. The ultimate safeguard, he says, is South Africa's democracy—use it to vote out decay and protect the institutions that remain. This BizNews production is brought to you by Brenthurst Wealth.

In today's BizNews Briefing, Cyril Ramaphosa unveils the ANC's new Service Delivery Action Plan, Thabo Mbeki explains why his foundation pulled out of the National Dialogue, and Andre de Ruyter challenges claims of Eskom's overstaffing while warning of soaring wage costs. Also in focus: Transnet failures, Tesla's succession plan, Fed rate signals, and Victor Matfield's banter after the Boks' record victory over the All Blacks.

In a candid Q&A at BNIC#2, former Eskom CEO Andre de Ruyter unpacked the end of load shedding, crediting new generation units, rooftop solar and heavy diesel spending. He stressed that the private sector, not government monopolies, holds the key to sustainable energy security. De Ruyter warned that sabotage, corruption and weak political will had crippled Eskom, and said government should exit business where markets can deliver. Reflecting on his own tenure and experiences abroad, he left the audience with a stark choice: South Africa can decline through drift, or renew through reform.

Die DA sê die Mededingingskommissie se verslag oor lewenskoste bevestig die ANC het sedert 2020 'n mislukte elektrisiteitsbeleid gedryf met pryse wat met 68 persent opgegaan het, meer as dubbeld dié van inflasie. Die party voer aan gesinne word gedwing om tussen kos en elektrisiteit te kies. Die DA-lid, Kevin Mileham, vra vir 'n nuwe prysbeleid, 'n einde aan Eskom se monopolie, en volle aanspreeklikheid vir regulatoriese mislukkings, insluitend die energiereguleerder Nersa se onlangse foutiewe berekening van 54 miljard rand:

Die vakbondfederasie, Saftu, het kommer uitgespreek oor die energiereguleerder, Nersa, se skikkingsooreenkoms van 54-miljard Suid-Afrikaanse rand met Eskom. Dit volg nadat Nersa ʼn fout begaan het in die berekening van die kragvoorsiener se inkomste vir die huidige en volgende twee boekjare. Ná die prysbepaling se hersiening verhoog die tarief in elk van die volgende twee jare met 8,8-persent, wat drie keer hoër is as die verwagte verbruikers-inflasiekoers. Saftu-woordvoerder, Asive Dyani, sê dis nog ʼn terugslag vir die werkersklas en arm huishoudings:

A actualidade desta semana em África ficou designadamente marcada pela visita de dois dias que o Presidente moçambicano, Daniel Chapo, efectuou ao Ruanda, país cujas tropas apoiam o exército moçambicano na luta contra o terrorismo em Cabo Delgado, no extremo norte do país. No âmbito desta deslocação, foi assinado em Kigali o Acordo sobre o Estatuto da Força que regula a presença das tropas ruandesas que lutam contra os grupos armados em Cabo Delgado, um documento apresentado como um instrumento padrão regido pelo direito internacional. Apesar de o Presidente moçambicano explicar que o acordo militar assinado com o Ruanda não prevê o aumento do contingente desse país em Cabo Delgado, os termos desse protocolo não deixaram de suscitar interrogações no seio da sociedade civil moçambicana. Noutro aspecto, no rescaldo das eleições gerais de 9 de Outubro de 2024, a Comissão Nacional de Eleições (CNE) notificou 12 dos 37 partidos políticos que participaram nas eleições gerais para corrigirem irregularidades na utilização dos fundos atribuídos durante a campanha eleitoral. Para o Presidente da Acção do Movimento Unido para a Salvação Integral (AMUSI), a ausência da Frelimo, partido governamental neste processo é questionável. Ainda na actualidade moçambicana, esta semana esteve eminentemente virada para questões económicas. Foi inaugurada segunda-feira e decorre ainda até este domingo em Marracuene a 60.ª edição da FACIM, Feira Internacional de Maputo, um evento que reúne mais de 3 mil expositores e cuja importância foi destacada pelo Presidente da República durante a cerimónia de abertura. Foi neste contexto que a fundição de alumínio Mozal suspendeu contratos com 20 empresas nacionais, deixando mais de mil pessoas em situação de desemprego. Esta informação foi avançada pelo Presidente da Confederação Económicas de Mocambique, CTA, Álvaro Massingue que apontou esta como sendo consequência directa do anúncio da suspensão das actividades pela fundição até Março do próximo ano, caso não se encontre uma solução para o fornecimento de energia eléctrica, após o término do contracto actual com a Eskom. Na Guiné-Bissau, os advogados da coligação eleitoral Plataforma Aliança Inclusiva - Terra Ranka afirmam que está em curso um plano para impedir a participação do seu líder, Domingos Simões Pereira, nas eleições presidenciais do próximo mês de Novembro, sendo que também denunciam alegadas irregularidades no processo eleitoral. Também esta semana, o Primeiro-Ministro guineense Braima Camará foi hospitalizado de urgência no Senegal após sentir-se mal durante a cerimónia de tomada de posse de novos membros do Conselho de Estado, na capital. Entretanto, a RFI apurou que pelo menos até esta sexta-feira, o chefe do governo guineense ainda se encontrava no Senegal, mas que estava a a recuperar e que tenciona regressar em breve à Guiné-Bissau. Noutra actualidade, aqui em França, o Presidente Emmanuel Macron recebeu esta semana no palácio do Eliseu o seu homólogo senegalês Diomaye Faye, ambos tendo manifestado a vontade de reforçar os elos entre os dois países, depois de meses de algum distanciamento, desde a chegada ao poder das novas autoridades no Senegal no ano passado. Um dos indícios mais flagrantes da nova tonalidade das relações bilaterais foi a saída no passado mês de Julho dos cerca de 300 militares franceses que ainda se encontravam no país, isto a pedido do poder do Senegal. Em Cabo Verde, a França tem estado a apoiar a ilha de São Vicente a se reerguer após a destruição causada pela tempestade Erin. Um navio da Marinha Francesa, com técnicos, mecânicos e engenheiros, chegou esta semana à ilha cabo-verdiana para apoiar a resposta às necessidades após a tempestade que provocou nove mortos e dois desaparecidos naquela ilha. Relativamente desta vez à actualidade de São Tomé e Príncipe, o antigo primeiro-ministro, Patrice Trovoada, manifestou a intenção de ocupar o seu lugar de deputado da Assembleia Nacional. Expedientes já foram feitos para que a sua reintegração seja efectivada. Em Angola, a equipa da casa tornou-se campeã africana de basquetebol após a sua vitória, na final, no domingo, face ao Mali por 70-43. O Presidente angolano, João Lourenço, saudou na segunda-feira a vitória da selecção angolana pela conquista deste que é o seu 12.º título de campeã africana da modalidade.

Africa Melane speaks to Matthew Cruise, Energy Analyst at IMPOWER, about what the spike in electricity prices means for households and businesses, how such regulatory missteps occur, and whether these higher tariffs will genuinely improve Eskom’s performance — or simply deepen the strain on already struggling consumers.
