Thank you, Speaker. Minister, for a number of years, Eskom has consistently performed poorly and lacks the foresight required to meet its obligations as an electricity supplier. They showed their best performance when they cried "unaffordable" when unions demanded a 9% salary increase. Yet the same Eskom executive committee that cried "unaffordable" to the unions gave themselves exorbitant salary increases during the past financial year. I heard what you said about the percentages, that is why I don't mention percentages.
While we welcome the Minister's announcement that the salaries of Eskom executives will be reviewed, what I want to know is whether the hon Minister will put a curb on the salary increases, perks, and performance bonuses that these executives give themselves and will also ensure that ordinary workers are paid well by Eskom.
