1) RSA’s been caught in a peculiar energy propaganda war for some time. Given
the corruption at Eskom, the largest utility on the African continent, the stakes are high. A surfeit of technological and political interests - at a foreign & local level – are jostling for “power”.

Two big Qs have emerged. 1/ Nuclear or RE? 2/ Should Eskom be unbundled?
