"Eskom wants Prasa to pay within 14 days of receiving an invoice, which is currently practically impossible. This point has been raised with Eskom and Prasa will reiterate it as we engage with them further." However, on Thursday evening Eskom said it had received of proof payment bringing Prasa's account to current.
All they now need is non-burnt out trains.
