Description
Eskom: Power, Politics and the Post-Apartheid State by Faeesa Ballim explores the intersection of technology, politics, and energy in South Africa from the 1960s to the present. Drawing on extensive research, Ballim examines how Eskom shaped the nation’s development, worker solidarity, and trade union movements while navigating apartheid and democratic-era politics. The book challenges assumptions about state corporations as government proxies and offers insight into organisational autonomy, corruption, and resistance within South Africa’s electricity sector. Essential for students, policymakers, and anyone seeking to understand the country’s ongoing energy and political challenges.
