Eskom workers eat like kings while you get load shed
Around 17,000 Eskom workers receive subsidised meals from the parastatal, according to reports, while the company battles a financial and power production crisis.
Eskom is spending a “fortune” feeding its workers lamb chops, chicken casserole, and croissants, despite the power utility being in the midst of a financial crisis. This is according to a report in the Sunday Times.
The report states that Eskom subsidises the meals of 17,000 employees – 37% of its workforce – while contractors building the Medupi and Kusile power stations receive hot meals thanks to a R1.5-billion catering contract.
The food bill is a costly addition to Eskom’s list of expenses, which includes the delayed and over-budget coal-fired power stations it is building and the R1-billion a month diesel bill for generators.
