Eskom withdraws from Davos

Eskom says it will no longer be sending any executives to the WEF meeting in Switzerland later this week.

 

[Jola]

Can they get their payments back ?

They need it to buy diesel.

 

[Seriously]

Thanks to MyBB's earlier report?

Oh, to have been a fly on the wall when whoever got shat on had their moment.
Truly - schadenfreude.

 

[Arthur]

I'm sorry to see this.

As one of the largest utilities on the planet, and on the brink of a major capex programme, it makes sense for Eskom to attend. After all, the top execs of their suppliers and moneylenders will be there. It is an ideal opportunity to make and deepen essential contacts. Now lost, to our detriment.

Nope.
Just a lot of political crap.

They have squandered such opportunities before ... I somehow doubt that this one trip would me the panacea to our power problems ...

Not to worry, the taxpayer and Eskom customers are expected to make up the shortfall.
