This is not just Eskom’s challenge, it is our collective challenge. By engaging with the process, advocating for balanced solutions, and working together, we can shape an energy future that works for all South Africans.

@Oliver_Speaking Sadly, the reality doesn't feed the narrative. People are pathetic. So desperate to make an issue where there isn't one.

[Samantha Graham-Maré MP @SamGrahamMare]

Last week with PM Støre, we saw South Africa's energy future taking shape at the Damlaagte & Ilikwa solar plants. This is a shift from dependence to diversification. Combining global expertise with South African ingenuity builds real capability. Partnership powers progress.🇿🇦🇳🇴

Carrying this momentum to the G20 4th #EnergyTransition Working Group. When women lead, we move faster, further, and more fairly. South Africa's future is bright. 2/2

Inspired by the powerful women at Eskom’s #WomenInEnergy Breakfast this morning. The energy transition isn't just about megawatts, but mindsets. It's about ensuring women are the architects, not the afterthoughts. 1/2

[Eskom Hld SOC Ltd @Eskom_SA]

At the Women in Energy session, Deputy Minister of Electricity & Energy, Ms @SamGrahamMare delivered a stirring opening address.

She said that:
💬 “Women are not just talking about change, but doing it as well. The country’s energy pathway is being re-written, and importantly by women. Solar, wind and battery are technologies being implemented, and in doing this we are also capacitating women. We are not changing the power to the grid, but also who changes it. Together, women and youth can accelerate a just, sustainable, and inclusive energy future. This is our moment to step forward, to lead boldly, and to create the change we want to see. Women’s full participation is not optional; it is essential.”

Ms Maré challenged everyone in the room to use the space wisely — to connect, create meaningful partnerships, mentor, learn, and lead.

She emphasised that we need to turn the ideas shared in the session into actions that ripple far beyond the room. Commit to a future where women are not just part of the conversation, but the drivers of progress, innovation, and impact.

@JustXavierB We will continue to encourage young people to get involved in the energy space. The misconception of this industry needs to change.

[Samantha Graham-Maré MP @SamGrahamMare]

Yesterday, I addressed the dynamic youth at the UJ Youth in Energy Summit. My message was clear: you are the innovators who will turn the tide against energy poverty. We are committed to supporting youth ideas with funding and skills programs.

[Samantha Graham-Maré MP @SamGrahamMare]

These on the ground perspectives is a critical step in our commitment to transparent and responsible operations in the energy space. Thank you to all community members for your valuable contributions.
