The simple R85.4-billion question Eskom will not answer

Eskom's refusal to disclose its construction budgets for Kusile and Medupi power plants has raised concerns over transparency and accountability, despite spending billions of rand on the projects. The utility's approved budgets remain at R160.5-billion and R145-billion, respectively, with billions already spent, but the exact amounts excluded from these budgets remain unclear. This lack of transparency undermines public trust and highlights the need for greater oversight and scrutiny of Eskom's finances.
