Eskom wants R2 billion from Glencore over shoddy coal

South Africa's power utility Eskom is seeking a 2 billion rand penalty from Glencore's Optimum Coal Mine because of the poor quality of their coal and its "shoddy performance", its chief executive said on Tuesday. "The quality of the coal that we get from the mines we are tied to has not been good," Brian Molefe said at a briefing on the company's annual results.
