With Eskom having found a buyer for its R9bn finance company, — a key condition of a R254bn debt relief package from Treasury, — it must now clear the hurdle of obtaining approval from Competition Commission for the sale.
Eskom, South Africa's state-owned power utility, is seeking approval from the Competition Commission to sell its finance company, Eskom Finance Company (EFC), as part of its ongoing restructuring efforts.
