Major South African trade union slams Eskom’s unbundling

• The National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) has slammed Eskom's unbundling, citing concerns that it would lead to job losses and higher energy prices.
• The unbundling plan, approved by President Cyril Ramaphosa, aims to establish an Independent Transmission System Operator (ITSO) to promote competition and attract investment in South Africa's energy sector.
• NUM has vowed to explore all possible avenues to oppose the unbundling process, including potential legal action, while business leaders have expressed support for the move, citing its potential to improve the country's energy market.
