Wracked by corruption, financial mismanagement and ineptitude, Eskom was looted from inside and out. Now on its knees, itโs nonetheless charging consumers more for a service that itโs failing to deliver. After weeks of relentless loadshedding โ much of it at stage 6 โ there are mounting threats of protests from enraged South Africans, and the president is feeling the heat. But how do we avoid a very grim energy outlook without urgent, workable solutions on the table? There are no easy answers for the national utility, but thatโs unlikely to win them any sympathy among an increasingly fed-up citizenry. Carte Blanche contemplates whatโs next for a powerless nation.
