It’s like that party when you go under a stick “how low can go, how low can you go” oh wait it is Eskom, wrong theme “how high can you go, how high can you go” To find the solution to Eskom's problem we must first look at when it started to have problems, it started when Cyril Ramaphosa and Pravin Gordhan were sworn into office, with that being said, it's more easy to find the solution to Eskom's problems
