National Press Club names Eskom as the 2019 Newsmaker of the Year
Eskom was named the 2019 National Press Club Newsmaker of the Year.
“The decision to name Eskom as the newsmaker was an easy one as there is no
denying the fact that the power utility’s inability to keep the lights on,
has negatively impacted both the small and big businesses which has resulted
in more retrenchments in an already ailing economy,” says chairperson Ntando Makhubu.
