Even if Cyril Ramaphosa and his band of unmerry ministers had concentrated on nothing else from 2019, fixing Eskom could have snowballed into economic growth, investment and job creation, writes Renée Bonorchis.
It's hard to make a call on which is the most farcical statement about jobs in the ANC's 2024 election manifesto.

Or is it that the ANC thinks it has another five years ahead of it, during which time it will somehow miraculously conjure up millions of new work opportunities?
