Cape Town - The redacted Dentons report that Eskom sent News24 this week hints at major issues without naming any executives or companies. Take a look at 10 examples of the report that have been redacted:

1 to 4: The below are four points from an appendix to the report, which were obtained through interviews:

5 to 8: The following four extracts from a section titled: "The causes of Eskom's financial challenges":

9. The below graph is from a section on "Causes for increase in primary energy costs":
