Public Interest SA’s statements coincided with Eskom issuing a statement committing itself to “the Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act and all government policies aimed at transforming the South African economy to deal with the pervasive conditions of inequality and socioeconomic imbalances”.
“As the Eskom leadership collective we place a high premium on our role as a catalyst for transformation and empowerment. Eskom continues to be the largest supporter of black-owned suppliers who are positively contributing value to the production of electricity and we promote black industrialisation as a deliberate approach to supply chain management, localisation and industrialisation in our value chain,” said Mpho Makwana, the Eskom board chairperson yesterday.
Nyati has done no more than heed the commission’s recommendations on public procurement by seeking to ensure that Eskom “derives maximum value in the procurement process”. Put differently, for the public derives no value if the pursuit of certain empowerment and transformation objectives are hijacked and rendered antithetical to their [reasons for their existence],” says Khaas.
“Lest we forget, in 2018 US multinational consultancy firm McKinsey was forced to issue a public apology for overcharging Eskom.”
