The National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) has raised red flags over Eskomâs plan to raise the price it pays Australian mining company South32 to procure coal for its Duvha power station in Mpumalanga.
The union claims the power utility plans to finance the sale of South32’s subsidiary, South African Energy Coal (SAEC), to mining company Seriti Resources. This will be done, according to NUM, through a coal price hike and through a R1.3 billion prepayment of coal supplies to South32 by Eskom.
