Nersa chair Thembani Bukula is not conflicted, says regulator

Bukula had complied in this regard, declaring his interests before taking up his position, the regulator added.

“In accordance with the law, there is no pecuniary interest that Mr Bukula stands to benefit pursuant to all decisions taken by the energy regulator.

“The energy regulator [board] consists of nine members who make decisions on applications from Nersa licensees, including Eskom,” Nersa said, adding that its decisions are based solely on thorough analysis of applications, facts and evidence presented to it.
