The Special Investigating Unit (SIU) investigation into Eskom is a chance to hold this entity fully accountable for the maladministration that has impacted on the lives of so many South Africans.

We have actively campaigned for some time now for a probe to be opened into Eskom’s affairs. The Democratic Alliance (DA) will monitor the progress of the SIU’s investigation closely.

We expect the SIU to use the significant powers at its disposal, such as the ability to subpoena any person to appear before it under oath, to ensure that those responsible are held to account.

South Africans have had to bear the burden of escalating electricity prices, unforeseen blackouts and the negative impact of rising production costs on doing business. We hope that this investigation will be the first step towards a more efficient electricity distribution network that can deliver a reliable service to the South African people.
