Johannesburg - Board members at South Africa's Eskom will vote on whether to remove chairperson Zola Tsotsi on Wednesday, sources said, deepening a leadership crisis at the power utility as chronic power cuts hobble Africa's most developed economy.
Minister of Public Enterprises Lynne Brown told parliament on Wednesday the power outages were costing the economy between $1.7bn and $6.8bn a month and that she was concerned about the management at state-owned Eskom.
According to bdlive.co.za, "Brown has asked for legal opinion from her department on how she can legally intervene in the affairs of troubled Eskom without contravening the Companies Act and the utility’s memorandum of incorporation".
