Presidency snaps back at Eskom chair over comments questioning Ramaphosa’s plans

• The presidency has rebuked Eskom chair Mteto Nyati for questioning President Ramaphosa's plans to restructure Eskom.
• The dispute centers around the sequencing of Eskom's break-up, particularly the transfer of transmission assets, which could weaken Eskom's balance sheet or alter protections for creditors.
• The National Treasury is expected to appoint advisers to negotiate with Eskom's lenders over the planned separation of the transmission business, a process that will be crucial in determining how the restructuring can proceed without impairing creditors.
