YOUNG ENGINEERS

ESKOM EXPO 2017 The Eskom Expo is always an inspiration… and this year was no exception. Eskom’s Pieter Pretorius (Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Eskom Expo) said: "The Eskom Expo for Young Scientists turns 37 this year. After growing in success and strength for over three decades, we applaud the founders of this Expo who had the ‘vision to inspire young scientists and
