I think tha Maroga did a good thing buy resigning but the gvt shouldn't be flatered when it comes to critical issues like loss of power in the country, the gvt shouldn't use their political differences and impose them on other sectors as it has happened with eskom planning.

At least Maroga was hands-on and knew the business. What did Godsell do for Eskom except grandstand?

Whilst I agree that Jakob Marogashould go,as he exacerbated the ESKOM malaise, I dont see any of the Goct Ministers accepting any blame for refusing to allow ESKOM to build new powerstations 8 years ago when they were warned we would run out of energy. Typical ostrich syndrome. If I ignore it, it doesnt exist or will not happen, an attitude displayed by the vast majority of Govt and quasi Govt corporations. Time to wake up and enter the REAL world, not the world of Black make believe!

Yes, that just shows that appointing someone to a job just because he or she is black, just does not work. Skills are needed to make any business or other organisation work, whether it is State, Semi-State or private. Forget the racist quotas and you will see how things improve. Fire all incompetents that prevent us from getting proper and decent services we pay for.

good news

It's about time that something was done about Eskom. Hopefully the ANC does not just put another useless party cadre in to replace him. Maybe with better management it won't be necessary to force the citizens of this country to fork out more of their hard earned cash to bail out yet another failed parastatal.

I feel sorry for Mr.Jacob Maroga ,i think he is a good leader ,every thing cannot put on his head ,what about the previous leaders before him ,everybody must take responsibility in ESKOM .

It appears that if the Board is out of touch with business, the best defence is to get rid of someone that knows the business. Jacob was not the 'bad boy'. Look at the decision maker or 'owner' of Eskom!!
