he recent report by Deloitte on load shedding is so damning I am lost for words. When the Brian Molefe scandal unfolded at Eskom after the State of Capture report, there was more evidence of Gupta empowermen­t at the expense of all South Africans.

In a normal democracy, heads would roll. After the State of Capture report, it is clear that the rot in President Jacob Zuma’s and the Guptas’ network is too strong and Zuma is willing to take the country down at any cost.

A quote from another article: Deloitte’s investigat­ions are understood to have also led to the Special Investigat­ing Unit getting involved. President Jacob Zuma has allegedly known about Deloitte’s findings since 2014.

Eskom said on Tuesday it had implemente­d all Deloitte’s recommenda­tions.

The 2015 Dentons report has also been making headlines for similar reasons, having found that Eskom’s senior executives also allegedly benefitted from contracts, with coal being bought for as much as 200% more than the ruling market price.

TimesLive reports that Deloitte’s findings “strengthen speculatio­n that the blackout emergency, which cost South Africa an estimated R300 billion, was engineered to benefit favoured companies”.

R300 billion! The ANC should hide in shame! They cannot save themselves, let alone SA!

Zuma is now threatenin­g to poke his nose in the banking institutio­ns, not for our benefit but for his and the Guptas.

I hope the revolution­aries will occupy Eskom the same way they occupied Absa. R300 billion is a lot of money.
