South Africa: Eskom Spying - NGOs Quit Stakeholder Forum

press release

Environmental NGOs Earthlife, groundwork, and Greenpeace have suspended their participation in Eskom's NGO forum following reports that Eskom contracted an intelligence company to spy on the organisations.

"Eskom's shocking move highlights the deep rot within the organisation that takes us back to the dark days of apartheid. If we cannot trust Eskom's leadership to deal openly with those that are pushing it towards sustainable practices, how can we trust them with such an important asset as our energy provision? We demand a change of Eskom's leadership", said groundWork's Director Bobby Peek.
