NUM calls for Eskom’s board to be disbanded

Labour union, the National Union of Mineworkers has reiterated its call for the entire Eskom board to be disbanded and replaced by “competent men and women who will place the interests of the country and its people before anything else”. This follows the resignation, on Friday, of Eskom board chairperson Jabu Mabuza. The union expressed the hope that more board members would voluntarily resign and that government leaders would hold themselves accountable for “unwarranted interference and influence in the parastatal”.
