Tough load-shedding winter ahead for South Africa

Experts warn that the reduced power cuts this week may be short-lived and that the country is still facing tough winter in terms of load-shedding.

Pffft, this guy obviously hasn't heard of our Minister of Magic yet..

Just look at him conjuring those jigawatts for winter out of thin air.

All because he is an engineer.. a magic one!

His coming has long been foretold by his peers..

We are saved, the loadshedding monster has been vanquished, 'alleluja!

 

[ShaunSA]

No fear. We will do the Spootla Spootla and keep warm

The life extension project of Koeberg Unit 1 is now 45 days behind and won't be completed before winter arrives leaving an additional shortage of 920MW.

Yet our new minister of electricity says he'll keep the load shedding below stage 6. Is he living on another planet, just another lying ANC politician or are his engineering skills that good?

What do you say @TheChamp ?

Just tag me when it happens, I have a whole book of De Ruyter inspired reasonable explanations.

A flat head like that can't be much good at engineering.

You mean if we have stage 6+ load shedding again this year you'll pull out AdR's reasons it's happening and prove that Ramokgopa is either a liar or out of his depth?

Just be patient and wait for it, one thing I can promise you is that you are going to be dazzled, I will give you a hint, what do you think is causing the Koeberg delay? Cassim and Sputla are on a roll with the coal power stations and all of a sudden we have an unexplained delay at Koeberg, which just happens to be situated in the Independent Republic and staffed to the brim with De Ruyter's sympathizers, remember how Koeberg lost a lot of top managers in quick succession during De Ruyter's reign of terror?

Koeberg isn't an unexplained delay. It was delayed by more than a year in 2021 because Eskom and the NNR failed to plan and build the containment buildings to place the used, radioactive steam turbines in.

Why would the DA sabotage their main source of electricity in their own back yard and then look at IPPs to try reduce load shedding in CoCT? You're even thicker than I thought.

Yeah, I knew you wouldn't get it, you just have to wait for the video.

 

[Dups!]

Catch 22 for anybody taking over from dumb Ruyter on Mybroadband.

Had the electricity situation gotten worse, the Mybroederbanders would have come up and had a field day. It didn't happen now they shift the goalposts, "let's wait for winter."

It doesn't help that we have these many so-called experts popping up from every woodwork.

Dumb Ruyter was incompetent and clueless, that is a fact. I am not convinced by this minister of electricity, he just doesn't inspire confidence. This is another suspicious energy department by the ANC for its own good and not for the citizens.

 

[blah99]

Is De Ruyter messing up again? Oh wait.......

 

[airborne]

Middle of winter with no power and no easy way to heat yourself, it’s going to be epic!

My dude being as cryptic as possible, come do share your secrets.

The new excuse is that the Cartels have stopped sabotaging because De Ruyter has been chased away.

I pride myself in being a lifelong learner, I have learnt well from De Ruyter, never divulge anything important, just throw a bone, sit back and behold the hullabaloo.

Experts ... from Eskom?

Yeah there's no such thing as experts at Eskom.
