Eskom chairperson Zola Tsotsi announced this morning that chief executive Tshediso Matona has been suspended as well as other executives and a full inquiry is to be launched into Eskom.
In its quest to address “the current challenges faced by Eskom”, the board deemed it “prudent to seek an independent view” on the poor performance of generation plants, delays in bringing the new generation plant on-stream, high costs of primary energy and cash flow challenges.

Zuma Agrees To Additional Questions Session
President Jacob Zuma has agreed to an additional, fifth oral question session in the National Assembly this year.
The presidency said today it had suggested the date of November 3 for the session to Speaker Baleka Mbete’s office.
This follows heated demands from the opposition yesterday when Zuma answered questions in the National Assembly for the first time since August last year, when he was heckled by the Economic Freedom Fighters over the Nkandla saga. City Press

Eskom's chairperson should have been fired: NUM
The suspension of four top Eskom executives indicates a collapse of governance at the parastatal, the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) said.
"Clearly it means there is collapse of governance. We would have expected that the chairperson of Eskom's board should have been the one who is fired," general secretary Frans Baleni told journalists outside the NUM's national bargaining conference in Midrand.
"We did raise a concern about the reinstatement of this chairperson when the new board [had] been established
.
"We reject this because we've never been consulted. We think that there is a bigger picture rather than to gun for these four executives."
