Eskom Group CEO Phakamani Hadebe says reducing the headcount of the debt-laden power utility cannot be avoided, but plans are in place to manage the process well.

"So let me assure you that, even though reducing our headcount is part of the journey of building a more sustainable organisation, the options that Eskom has put on the table to assist in headcount management include natural attrition, early retirement and we are also considering the possibility of offering voluntary separation packages," he said in the memo.Hadebe also spoke out against corruption at the organisation, which seemingly has been enabled by some of Eskom's staff.

"As leaders, we need to keep our employees and teams motivated and actively work towards building a culture that we need to heal and to thrive." "This amount extends beyond Generation and will include maintenance in Distribution and Transmission. At a briefing earlier in April, Hadebe, board chairperson Jabu Mabuza and Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan briefed the media on the status of the electricity system. Eskom expects to implement Stage 1 load shedding through the winter months.
