Deputy SA Electricity Minister advocates for transparency in Eskom to combat energy crisis

Date: Jul 3, 2024

South Africa's Deputy Minister of Electricity and Energy, Samantha Graham, has emphasised the importance of transparency in managing the country's power utility, Eskom.

According to Graham, access to comprehensive information on Eskom's operations is crucial for resolving the ongoing energy crisis and preventing corruption.

The power utility has historically attributed its challenges to sabotage and coal theft by organised crime groups.

Graham, who was sworn in on Wednesday expressed her eagerness to collaborate with the reappointed Minister of Electricity and Energy, Kgosientsho Ramokgopa.

She commended Ramokgopa's efforts, noting the country's progress towards a significant milestone of 100 days without load shedding, and highlighted the absence of any suspicious activities under his leadership.

Graham underscored the necessity of having the right data to conduct effective oversight, ensure accountability, and uphold integrity within Eskom.
