Eskom getting its house in order
Acting Eskom Chief Executive Matshela Koko says progress is being made to restore the power utility to its former glory.
Eskom briefed the media at their Megawatt Headquarters in Sunninghill.
Koko says the days of load shedding is long gone, with the power utility managing to generate surplus electricity.
He says Eskom is playing its part, in the quest for improved economic growth.
Koko also lauded former Group CEO Brian Molefe, saying he played a leading role in Eskom's turnaround.
"When you are compromised, you are disempowered and you can't talk back - even if you know the guy is wrong, because they knew they were wrong. We could not talk, because we were costing the economy a lot. I said to my team that when you are costing the economy, you have no right to talk. Fix your house. When your house is fixed, then you can talk back and now we are talking back," says Koko.
