Eskom chairperson Dr Mteto Nyati, whose term has been extended by a further three years, says the board’s top priority has shifted from guaranteeing electricity stability to ensuring affordability. In addition, he drew a direct link between that goal and moves under way to fully separate the National Transmission Company South Africa from Eskom Holdings, while questioning the prevailing view that he and the board were opposed to such restructuring.
