Today Alan Kasujja sits down with Dan Marokane, the recently appointed CEO of South Africa's national power supplier, Eskom. He wants to understand how the new boss has been able to halt power cuts that have been devastating to both the economy and the wellbeing of all South Africans. These electricity problems started towards the end of 2007. Then president Thabo Mbeki apologised and admitted that he should have listened to the leadership of Eskom who warned his administration about future power shortages. Alan also hears from two women who run a hospice that looks after children in the east of Johannesburg. They share heart breaking stories of what happens to the babies whenever there are power cuts. Guests: Katlego Foster, Lyn Crooye, Chanda Nxumalo and Dan Marokane
