Eskom at a Crossroads: The Urgent Need for Reform

Eskom at a crossroad

Eskom stands at a crossroads, burdened by debt, inefficiency, and systemic mismanagement. The urgent need for reform is no longer a matter of debate—it is a matter of survival. Without decisive restructuring, improved governance, and a commitment to sustainable energy, South Africa risks deeper economic stagnation and continued power insecurity. The time for half-measures has passed; only bold, transparent action can restore trust and secure the nation’s energy future.

NERSA’s Role in the Electricity Sector: A Critical Examination

NERSA’s role in South Africa’s electricity sector is pivotal, yet increasingly contested. As the regulator, it must balance utility sustainability with consumer protection, but inefficiencies, opaque processes, and inconsistent decision-making have eroded trust. A critical examination reveals the urgent need for reform—strengthening transparency, aligning with global best practices, and ensuring that regulation drives stability, efficiency, and fairness across the energy landscape.
