South Africa can be an example for the world: a) how to succeed as a country, b) how to be a leader for a continent, c) how to navigate between the geopolitics and economies of North America, Europe, and Asia and prosper. It would be a shame to miss this opportunity.

The voices behind the privatisation of Eskom will have to be forgiven by our grandchildren one day if they didn’t read Luke 23:34: “Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing.”

The breakup of the utility under the guise of a “just” energy transition is not just a threat to affordable energy but also to the integrity of South Africa as a state.
