There are renewed calls for the privatisation of Eskom as the country grapples with rolling blackouts and unpaid power bills amounting to billions.

Energy analysts say privatisation is the way forward BUT this move will face resistance from labour unions.

On the Forum@8 this morning we ask: Should Eskom be privatised?
