CONFIRMED: R254 billion to be spent on Eskom as annual budget

CONFIRMED: R254 billion to be spent on Eskom as annual budget

Last week, the National Assembly made a significant decision by passing the Eskom Debt Relief draft Bill, which is valued at a staggering R254 billion. The bill received an overwhelming 198 votes in favor of its approval, while 23 votes opposed it. The government believes that this substantial financial injection will play a crucial role in revitalizing Eskom, the nation’s power utility, and ensuring an adequate supply of electricity for the country.

However, there are concerns among the public that only a portion of this amount will truly benefit Eskom, with over 70% potentially being siphoned off by corrupt individuals for personal gain, such as extravagant bonuses, luxury cars, and lavish residential upgrades. The fear of taxpayers’ money being misappropriated is palpable, as exemplified by the absurd notion of spending one million Rand on a toothbrush.


Reports suggest that the primary objective of the Eskom Debt Relief Bill is to secure funding from the National Revenue Fund to alleviate Eskom’s mounting debt. Upon the bill’s successful passage, Acting Finance Minister Mondli Gungubele expressed the government’s belief that this debt relief arrangement for Eskom will significantly alleviate the ongoing energy crisis. In line with this commitment, the minister of finance proposed a comprehensive debt relief plan for Eskom, amounting to approximately R254 billion, after extensive technical work and consultation during the 2023 budget speech.

This proposed arrangement encompasses two key components. The first component entails allocating R1.84 billion, which represents Eskom’s complete debt settlement requirement, in three installments over the medium term. The second component involves the direct takeover of up to R70 billion of Eskom’s loan portfolio in the 2025/2026 fiscal year.


However, to ensure the responsible and effective utilization of these funds, the government pledges to impose stringent conditions on Eskom. These conditions are intended to ensure that the envisioned financial injection is channeled towards the necessary improvements and reforms within Eskom, rather than being wasted or misused.

The Eskom Debt Relief Bill’s passage through the National Assembly signifies a significant step towards addressing Eskom’s financial challenges and revitalizing the power utility. However, the public remains vigilant in holding the government accountable for ensuring that these funds are allocated appropriately and transparently.


With the hope of restoring Eskom to its former glory and resolving the energy crisis, it is imperative that the government rigorously monitors the implementation of the debt relief plan and takes decisive action against any corruption or mismanagement that may hinder its intended purpose.
