In this week's episode of SA Money Report, we delve into Eskom's latest plunge into darkness. | Fin24
Fin24's weekly SA Money Report provides bite-size takes on financial and business stories, along with a deep dive into the story of the week.Before Covid-19, Eskom was regarded as the single largest risk to SA’s economy. With the numbers of infections down for now, hopefully forever, Eskom has reclaimed its throne.
Weeks of back-to-back moves between Stage 2 and Stage 4 – breakdowns, conveyor belt issues, stuff in Zambia – it all seems quite literally dark and bleak – and everyone is looking for someone else to blame. There were matriculants studying in the dark. There were people who needed electricity for their home medical equipment. Some couldn't warm milk or food to feed infants.
Helping to understand our latest plunge into darkness, and to give some rhyme and reason to our anger in this bumper edition of SA Money Report, are regulars – Fin24’s Lameez Omarjee and Jan Cronje. Fin24's aim with this weekly series is to take complex issues and break them down in a way that gives listeners an insight into a world that can often be impenetrable, either because of really dense figures, ratios and percentages - or because you need to navigate obscure financial terminology. We live in a world where facts and fiction get blurred, you have access to a world of in-depth analyses, investigative journalism, top opinions and a range of features.
