The conversation discusses the turnaround of Eskom, the South African power utility, under the leadership of CEO Dan Marokane. It is revealed that corruption was not the main issue with Eskom, but rather the reliance on coal. Marokane prioritized fixing coal power stations, met with staff, and allowed them to do their jobs, resulting in no load shedding for close to three months. The conversation also touches on the green agenda and the need to use available resources, such as coal and nuclear energy, before transitioning to renewable sources. Overall, the conversation highlights the positive impact of the new CEO and the stability of electricity supply in South Africa.
