ANC veteran and NEC member Tokyo Sexwale has described as “sloppy” the divergent views on Eskom as expressed by the deputy president, and the subsequent response by the Presidential spokesperson which contradicted David Mabuza’s views.

The politician turned businessman, speaking on SABC, was referring to the contradictory response by presidential spokesperson Khusela Diko after Mabuza said the power utility’s board had misled President Cyril Ramaphosa.

Diko responded that there was no “ill intention” on the part of the Eskom board when it told Ramaphosa that there would be no load shedding before January the 13th, adding there were “unforeseen circumstances” which resulted in renewed power cuts – despite the assurances from the Eskom board.
