Hi hannelie,

ESKOM stands for Electricity Supply Commission

UNISA stands for University of South Africa
as well as for University of South Australia

SPCA stands for Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
for Security Policy Compliance Assessment
for Serum Prothtombin Conversion Accelerator
for Short Posterior Ciliary Artery
for Student Paper Competition Award.

These abbrevations are all called acronyms.
