South Africa's sluggish economic growth since 2010 has left its citizens 40% poorer than the global average. Osagyefo Mazwai, investment strategist at Investec Wealth & Investment International told BizNews in an interview that the country's GDP per capita decoupled from global peers in 2010, with growth averaging just 1% annually compared to 4.5% for emerging markets. This has resulted in a nominal GDP of R7.4 trillion today, versus a potential R11.5 trillion had growth kept pace. The R5 trillion shortfall in government revenue could have reduced national debt and funded critical infrastructure, like Eskom's R400 billion transmission network expansion. He said key barriers to growth are energy shortages, logistics inefficiencies, crime, and an under-skilled workforce and called for urgent government action to stabilise electricity, improve logistics, reduce crime, and enhance workforce skills and to foster a business-friendly environment with less red tape.

In January 2025, ESKOM, South Africa's electricity monopoly, announced its first round of load-shedding in over ten months. Load shedding basically meaning rolling blackouts to prevent the grid from collapsing. 2024 had been a good year (relatively). Just 83 days of load-shedding. Not too bad after 332 days in 2023, and over 200 days of power cuts in 2022. ESKOM is one of South Africa's biggest companies. It is also arguably its most important. And it is in shambles. In this video, the story of a state-owned electricity monopoly that triggered an energy crisis.

Eskom het herklemtoon dat die kragnetwerk steeds beperk is, ten spyte van 'n meer bestendige kragstelsel en beurtkrag wat opgeskort is. Eskom-woordvoerder Daphne Mokoena sê meer as 2 600 megawatt sal teen Maandagaand weer in gebruik wees om in die winteraanvraag te voorsien. Onbeplande onderbrekings is op veillige vlakke op gemiddeld meer as 14 000 megawatt. Sy vra Suid-Afrikaners om onwettige verbindings te vermy en krag verantwoordelik te gebruik om die voorraad gedurende die winterseisoen te handhaaf:

Die DA sê vyf munisipaliteite in die Wes-Kaap, wat almal regeer word deur onbestendige koalisies, sukkel met onbetaalde Eskom-skuld ter waarde van altesaam 93 miljoen Suid-Afrikaanse rand. Vier van hierdie munisipaliteite sal hul skuld afgeskryf kry as deel van die munisipale skuldverligtingsprogram, maar Theewaterskloof kwalifiseer nie. Dave Bryant van die DA dring aan op beter bestuur, aangesien dié munisipaliteite se finansiële probleme basiese dienste belemmer en so ook hul vermoë om met die privaat sektor saam te span vir energieopwekking:

Millions of South Africans were plunged into peak-hour darkness again last night. In this interview with BizNews, Kevin Mileham, the Democratic Alliance (DA) spokesperson on Electricity and Energy, says that ESKOM's fleet is running at 28% unplanned outages - and that “this last week, they've burned 210 million rands worth of diesel to keep the lights on.” As for sabotage, Mileham says: “I think that we've come a long way in that respect, that there's less, to use that word, sabotage than there was before… and I think that certainly the department and ESKOM are taking steps in that regard to weed those people out and take the necessary action against them. It's not happening as quickly as I would like, but there are steps being taken.” ESKOM is also battling the financial impact of corruption . “I think one of the challenges that we've got is, and again, I'm going to emphasise State Capture as being part of the problem, that we had a massively corrupt entity where things ran years over time, cost more than double what they were budgeted for. And as a result, ESKOM's balance sheet took a huge hammering.” Meanwhile, Mileham expresses concerns around the National Transmission Company which he says “needs to be really fully independent…it needs to be out of ESKOM's control and more independent minded so that there's a level playing field between ESKOM and the private sector generators.” He notes that ESKOM still behaves in a “very monopolistic fashion; that they aren't willing to play fairly and competitively with other role players”.
