Eskom to continue helping Zimbabwe meet energy demand
Eskom says it is negotiating with Zimbabwe about delivering more electricity as Zimbabwe struggles to meet its energy demand.
NATIONAL NEWS - Eskom says it is negotiating with Zimbabwe about delivering more electricity as Zimbabwe struggles to meet its energy demand.

The neighbouring state wants to extend its one-year contract with the utility and is also seeking more than the current 300 megawatts currently provided.

Eskom's Khulu Phasiwe says Zimbabwe's facilities are not operating optimally.

He says this provides welcome income against the backdrop of a stagnant economy.
