Moment of Clarity: Linda Mateza and Eskom - 'Some pensioners are supporting up to four dependents.'

In this Moment of Clarity, Chief Executive and Principal Officer Linda Mateza, describes how Eskom's Pension and Provident Fund shared R100m amongst 33,000 pensioners to help ease their financial hardships. In South Africa, many households are dependent on a pension, with many recipients sustaining their children, grandchildren and other relatives on a modest monthly income. In the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic - and the economic turmoil that comes along with it - Mateza says the idea around the bonus was to alleviate some of the stresses felt by many during this time.
