They must be recruiting like for a clandestine operation - so that nobody knows. Eskom website only has 113 careers available?

If all these lies and BS were not about such a serious issue they could have started a comedy show!

My thoughts too - I have seen very few of these specialist technical jobs advertised.
I'd also like to know if these 848 posts are reserved for AA candidates.

"Eskom has also developed a resourcing strategy that is anchored around a series of elements to address its future skills needs. These include attracting the right talent both locally and internationally, including a focus on bringing skilled professionals back into the country, and creating a learning environment."

This can REALLY mean "merrit" guys if they stick to what they say.
