The Department of Public Enterprises says that power utility Eskom’s multi-billion rand loan facility with the China Development Bank is not in jeopardy, despite concerns sparked by a delay in the release of a R7-billion tranche of funds last month. The bank was meant to release the funds – part of a larger R35-billion facility – in April. Absa Capital had to provide assistance after the loan failed to come through in time. A Treasury report signed by Finance Minister Tito Mboweni in April said the delay in releasing the funds was due to Chinese exchange control requirements.
