Solidarity’s Morné Malan says more experts on that list need to be recruited and are still willing to help.  

He said, “just let everything else to the side we’ve got the solutions, we’ve got the plan and list of the best of the best."

"We have the solutions we just have to implement it. Remove all the barriers that are currently hindering private independent power producers from operations. Prioritize criminal cases with Eskom. Simply make the manage at Eskom allow them to operate without political influence… is not complicated its an issue of getting it done.”
