Energy department will oversee Eskom, Ramaphosa says

accreditation

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa said the energy department will take

over responsibility for overseeing state utility Eskom, which has been failing to

meet the nation’s power demand since 2008.

The change will be in line with a resolution adopted by the governing African

National Congress at its national conference last week, which specified that state

companies operating in specific economic sectors should be overseen by the

relevant government departments. That could potentially signal a dissolution of the

Department of Public Enterprises, which oversees Eskom, logistics company

Transnet and several other entities.
