Civil rights organisation AfriForum has decided to take legal action against ailing power utility Eskom for not making public the contract information for its service providers. AfriForum wants information on active contracts that Eskom has with various service providers, including coal suppliers and transport companies. While Eskom did initially respond to the application, AfriForum says it redacted key information. AfriForum campaign officer for strategy and content Reiner Duvenage accused Eskom of breaching the Promotion of Access to Information Act by withholding “crucial” information following an internal appeal on September 28, 2022.
