Johannesburg - Experts are urgently needed to deal effectively with the severe crisis at Eskom, Christo van der Rheede, CEO of the business organisation AHi, told Fin24 on Tuesday.
"Feedback from our members shows they are quite perturbed by the constant change in leadership at Eskom. The business sector requires stability and strong leadership to deal with the impact of the Eskom crisis at hand," said Van der Rheede.
"Eskom faces a severe financial crisis, a maintenance backlog and problems with the completion of Medupi and Kusile. On top of that there are stories of corrupt practices, for instance, in the supply of diesel and coal. To us Eskom is a critical role player in South Africa's economy.
