By 2020, poor decisions at the secretive company had wasted billions and almost closed it down. But it was given a lifeline when Mineral Resources and Energy Minister, Gwede Mantashe - determined to save PetroSA - insisted Eskom buy its diesel from the parastatal.

We lift the lid on this new profit-sharing deal in the oil and gas fields off the Southern Cape Coast. Find more exclusive content on Carte Blanche: The Podcast: https://linktr.ee/carteblanchetv
