One of the key issues that we need to solve is by appointing the correct people to run Eskom. [Applause.] That's what we need to do. We must appoint the correct board of directors. We must appoint a competent management team and we must then be in a position to hold the board of directors and the management team accountable for the operations of Eskom.
The problem at Eskom is not just financial. The problem at Eskom is not just financial. If we are going to reduce a complex problem to the lowest common multiplier - being the financial problem - we are not solving the problem. We need to approach solutions to Eskom via complex theory. We need to understand the complexity of the institution we are dealing with in order to come up with complex solutions.
Having said that, and as I take my seat, I have stood on this podium and asked members of the political parties in this House to go out to the communities and their members to mobilise them to pay for services rendered. I repeat
that message, hon Shivambu. I repeat that message: Go mobilise your people to render unto Eskom what belongs to Eskom, as a law-abiding citizen of the country.
Deputy Speaker and Deputy President, I thank all members for their contributions, and I wish you well as you pay your bills! [Applause.]
