Marokane says while there are a few bad apples, the majority of Eskom staff are ethical and committed.

“Many people forget how great people are here, how many ethical people are here and that the few cannot be used to judge the majority of the employees,” he said.

“I’ve had the privilege of working in the private sector and I tell them that you haven’t met very skilled people until you go to Eskom.

All that needs to be done is to take our skills and light it up to get results on the scoreboard.”
