Hogan shields Maroga from 'unfair' barbs  Comments
November 5, 2009

By Donwald Pressly


Embattled Eskom chief executive Jacob Maroga was defended in the National Assembly yesterday by Public Enterprises Minister Barbara Hogan.

She said it was unfair to publicly accuse him without him being able to respond. She was responding to criticism from DA MP Pieter van Dalen, who said Maroga had been briefed on problems in the electricity parastatal "which he ignored".


Hogan said "the issues" at Eskom had arisen from a long history of decisions. As speculation grows that Maroga is about to be axed, she said that it was unfair to place "entire dilemmas" relating to the Eskom build programme "on one individual". - Donwald Pressly

Is there absolutely no sense of accountability anymore? It is shameful that as the captain of Eskom that Maroga earns such a large salary without merit - judging by the state Eskom finds itself. It is not an excuse to say that huge price increases happend in the past and is rather an indictment of negligent leadership that no lesson was learnt from the past price hike. -He should at least leave of his own accord without a non performance bonus.

The man has proved that he has neither managerial nor leadership abilities in this position. New VISIONARY leadership is needed so that SA's electricity and power needs can be met with realistic yet creative planning and alternative thinking. The whole world is not only going green energy, but LOWER costs. For example, there are whole towns in the USA that feed electricity back into the grid. We are being lumped with planning that is doubling and tripling our power costs when we should be reducing them. Our thinking is in the wrong direction. It is extrapolative which shows no creativity to solve the problem. Einstein said “ You cannot solve a problem with same level of thinking that created it”. New energy is needed!
