This documentary was made independently and there is no affiliation or payment from any political party or company. We visited Kusile in 2022 on a site visit with engineering students from the University of Johannesburg and I realised that there needs to be an educational video showing the details of how a power station works. Thanks to Eskom for allowing us to film and make this documentary.
Produced, narrated, and directed by Philip Baron.
