Eskom split could light up foreign investment – Debtwire’s Haffenden
LONDON — If anybody doubted the seriousness of Eskom's crisis, there was another dark reminder in the form of Stage 4 load shedding. President Cyril Ramaphosa announced a range of measure that he is considering to switch on the lights; more details will be in the budget speech. To get the overseas perspective on the state-owned entity's prospects, we spoke to the Managing Editor of Debtwire CEEMEA, Chris Haffenden on the measures that Eskom could take to shed its debt load. He suggests that foreign investors may be interested in investing in transmission and distribution, if Eskom is split in three pieces. – Linda van Tilburg
Chris, do you think the announcements of President Ramaphosa on Eskom brings the State-Owned Enterprise (SOE) closer to a solution?
