Eskom is considering handing over its R840 million white elephant of a block of flats near Witbank to local community members –  after cost overruns described by its CEO André de Ruyter as “deplorable”.  The Wilge Residential Development Project was meant to house contractors and artisans working at Kusile power station in 336 flats.
