Bad decisions to blame for Eskom's woes

Clipped to the Drawing Board by Administrator

If we are lucky, the current electricity crisis will mark the end of a 15-year battle to privatise electricity production . But it is a crisis that has already cost us dearly.

It cost lives. Apart from a few deaths in hospitals as a result of power cuts, far more have been caused by poverty, which has been aggravated by the cuts.

It cost jobs. One reason poverty has increased is that there have been direct job losses in mining and manufacturing, and indirect losses as less money circulated in a stalled economy.
