The department could not offer additional comment on the nature of the engagements Eskom conducted in China “due to the sensitivities involved with such processes”, Mnyandu said.In response to some of the questions raised by MPs on Wednesday, Gordhan said “significant parts” of the unbundling of Eskom into three separate entities for transmission, generation and distribution will be completed before year’s end.
