Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>Former president Thabo Mbeki says he believes there was a systematic attempt to collapse key South African institutions like Eskom, leading to rampant and \u201cdeliberate\u201d load shedding in the country.<\/p>\n

He said the systematic collapse of key institutions had set in since about 2008, which was around the time he was booted out of government after a bruising defeat to Jacob Zuma at the 2007 Polokwane Conference.<\/p>\n

Mbeki was forced to resign in September 2008, almost 10 months after losing to Zuma at the ANC\u2019s elective conference in Polokwane.<\/p>\n

Mbeki, who is the chancellor of the University of South Africa, was speaking during a dialogue hosted by the Thabo Mbeki School of Public and International Relations.<\/p>\n

Mbeki said the ruptures at Eskom, Transnet, the SA Police Service (SAPS), the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) and at the SA Revenue Services (Sars) were a coordinated attack on the State.<\/p>\n

He said there were elements who were hell-bent on ensuring that South Africa did not succeed.<\/p>\n

LOAD SHEDDING
\nReflecting on load shedding, Mbeki claimed that the country’s first bout of load shedding was experienced in 2008, and big industries such as mines had to be shut down for a week.<\/p>\n

He said it was wrongly reported that the cause of the load shedding was that Eskom leadership had approached the government in 1998 asking for new power stations, and the government had supposedly ignored them, leading to the first bout of load shedding in 2008.<\/p>\n

“That story was cooked; it was false,” said Mbeki, who said the actual reason for the load shedding was that some power stations had run out of coal and had not replenished the coal supplies accordingly.<\/p>\n

“They did not replenish the coal. There was not enough coal at the power stations. There was coal in the country,” said Mbeki, alluding to sabotage from within Eskom.<\/p>\n

Describing former Eskom chief executive Brian Molefe as an old friend, Mbeki said Molefe dealt with load shedding by managing and repairing infrastructure, and there was no load shedding between 2014 and 2017.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy the time load shedding comes back in 2017\/18, you have new people who don’t behave in the way Brian Molefe behaves, why, I think it is deliberate,\u201d said Mbeki.<\/p>\n
