Highly respected and definitely a doer! So why was Karen Breytenbach so unceremoniously dumped? BizNews went looking for the answers.

You knew you were in for an increase from Eskom, as the embatteld power producer struggles to recover from years of managerial abuse, looting and gross incompetence. Once the municipality gets involved, many households will be on the receiving end of a 66% increase if you use more than 350kWh per month. That is between

There is a lot going on at Eskom. It is estimated that Eskom is overstaffed by between 66 & 35% depending on your sources. The spiralling debt problem is also a concern with Soweto’s debt increasing by another couple of billion since it was brought to the public’s attention. The Unions are a large part

Thanks to BizNews for always having their finger on the pulse of things. HSF has released an analysis of Eskom’s financials. It is ugly and it is expected. Much like the arms deal under Mbeki (I am sure he was also ‘shocked’) all that these two power staions were was an opportuntiy to rape the

Despite this revelation, it is nothing new, the problem lies in the adminsitration processes and the will to follow these applications to fruition. Carte Blanche did a small expose recently about numerous farmers that

A nice succint article on taxation on solar plants in layman’s terms so people like me can understand it, be an almost early adopter, relaible, cost-effective solar is here!

Ted Blom, along with Chris Yelland are considered experts in the field of energy and Eskom and the complete failure that it currently remains. The current budgeted figures from Tito are no where near enough to get Eskom sorted out. There is ongoing corruption and a complete lack of action from the new board to
