South Africa’s Electricity Minister, Kgosientsho Ramokgopa, announced that the country will prioritize the expansion of its grid over the next decade to address power shortages and end daily power cuts.
Former Eskom CEO, Jacob Maroga, stated that changes in the power utility’s leadership have led to fundamental improvements, resulting in reduced load-shedding.
The Special Investigating Unit (SIU) is expanding its investigations into corruption at Eskom, including contractors and private companies involved.
The investigations have grown as more corruption is uncovered, ranging from employee-related cases to coal contracts, sabotage, and power station construction, including projects like Medupi and Kusile.
