Finance Minister Tito Mboweni on Tuesday tabled a special appropriation bill in the National Assembly, allocating an additional R59-billion to Eskom over two years. Mboweni said that Eskom will be allocated R26-billion this financial year and R33-billion in the 2020/2021 financial year. This was in addition to the R23-billion lifeline extended to the cash-strapped power utility in the February budget.
