# President Cyril Ramaphosa says the financial improvement at Eskom bears witness to the strength of partnerships, but also to the value of forging ahead with long-term goals, even in the face of criticism. The power utility posted an after-tax profit of 16-billion-rand for the full year ending March 2025, its first return to profitability in eight years. In his weekly newsletter, Ramaphosa says even as Eskom continues along the path to recovery, government will continue to pursue the other pillars of the Energy Action Plan with equal vigour.
