We have to live with Eskom problems

- Mervyn Bick

Tina, if the CEO of Eskom had been able to fire “baddies”, he would have done so long ago.

The Labour Laws, enacted by the ANC government, make it extremely difficult to fire staff.

This means he is stuck with the incompeten­t and corrupt staff who were employed by the ANC cadres deployed to Eskom under the previous president.

As for having electricit­y reliably available 24/7, it will happen but it’s not going to be soon. We may not like it but we have to live with it.
