SONA PREVIEW: Eskom looms large 

Loading player...
In this edition of the Business Day Spotlight, we take time explore possible issues that may be relevant to the business community when President Cyril Ramaphosa delivers the year’s state of the nation (SONA) address this week.

Our host Mudiwa Gavaza is joined in studio by Annabel Bishop, chief economist at Investec for this discussion.

For this week’s address, Bishop says the business community will likely be focused on economic growth, unemployment and energy.

With state owned enterprises being a constant feature in the headlines, Bishop says Eskom will probably be a main talking point on the night.

Listen in to hear the full discussion and thoughts around these and other questions.

Business Day Spotlight is a MultimediaLIVE Production.
