Eskom is racing to recruit as many skilled people as possible, regardless of their skin colour.

Responding to questions in the National Assembly, Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa said he was not aware of so-called "backroom", race-based retrenchments taking place at Eskom.

However, he said when it came to retrenchments, there was a process of asking people to take voluntary retrenchments, but this has since been stopped.

Ramaphosa admitted that the power utility had lost quite a number of skilled people and the race was now on to attract as many more skilled people as possible within Eskom.
