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.

There are still a few spots open for hosting a monthly National Press Club networking forum in 2020. If you are interested in hosting a function, please send an email to the secretariat. Our next networking forum will be hosted by TUT Enterprise Holdings on 26 March 2020.
