South Africa: Brown Must Suspend Arrogant Eskom Board, and Full-Scale Parliamentary Inquiry Must Follow

press release

The DA has today publicly called on the Minister of Public Enterprises, Lynne Brown, to immediately suspend the board of Eskom following their shocking and flagrantly arrogant statements at the extraordinary sitting of the Portfolio Committee of Public Enterprises today. They simply refuse to take any responsibility for the governance failures plaguing Eskom.

Moreover, while the Minister stated that she wants to go ahead with a limited investigation into procurement at Eskom only, the DA cannot accept that with the overwhelming evidence of the complete breakdown of governance and extensive political meddling at Eskom, Brown's investigation will scratch the surface of the problems at the entity. Procurement is but one factor of the disastrous state Eskom finds itself in.
