Eskom to be split into three SOEs, Cyril Ramaphosa confirms in SonaThe president says this will be done ‘without burdening the fiscus with unmanageable debt’ More opportunities for more corruption. It's meaningless. Eskom still heavily in debt and state owned. Like painting a car wreck in the scrap yard. SONA2019 He said something must be done to ailing ESKOM and bald decision must be taken whether we like it or not. He did not confirm split. I was listening attentively. Do not insinuate. All the SONA speech came down to this. The trojan horse (Eskom). Have we forgot how PresJGZuma was labelled as a traitor who wanted to sell Eskom to the Russians? Now this. koko_matshela is right. It's all about Eskom being sold to the highest bidder. This is wrong
