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”.

President Cyril Ramaphosa “stumbles through life under the misapprehension that he's not accountable to South Africans for what he does, forgetting who put him there in the first place. South Africans.” This is the charge from Democratic Alliance (DA) MP Advocate Glynnis Breytenbach. She spoke to BizNews after the DA laid charges of corruption against Human Settlements Minister Thembi Simelane for allegedly stealing more than R700 000 by fraudulently billing Eskom when she worked for Vitrovian whose charges to Eskom appear “ridiculously” inflated. Eskom was allegedly invoiced by Vitrovian for work done by employees that did not exist, and Simelane's signature appears on the very first of these fraudulent invoices. The corruption charges come on top of Simelane's alleged involvement and subsequent implication in the looting of VBS Bank - after which the President ignored calls to suspend or sack her, and instead just moved her from Justice to Human Settlements. He has also repeatedly refused to disclose the content of Simelane's report to him on these allegations. Breytenbach believes his continued protection of Simelane raises serious questions on his ability and willingness to root out corruption at the highest level. “There are many ministers in the Cabinet that are less than…salubrious…who should, in all fairness, step aside and not hold those positions,” Breytenbach says.
