In a short letter to the editor, MP Michael Bagraim, who is the Democratic Alliance’s (DA’s) labour spokesman, writes bluntly that Eskom should embark on mass retrenchments.
He points out that Eskom is “grossly overstaffed”, with the World Bank saying that the overstaffing is almost 60% overstaffed, and says that mass retrenchments are required “to correct this very serious imbalance of staffing.” The letter has provoked reactions on social media.
