I found this little gem while looking back at the IRP 2011.
"When Eskom said to the government: 'We think we must invest more in terms of electricity generation', we said no, but all you will be doing is just to build excess capacity". "We said not now, later. We were wrong. Eskom was right. We were wrong."
South African President Thabo Mbeki, 2008.
President Thabo Mbeki has admitted that the government was wrong not to listen to Eskom to invest more in terms of electricity generation.
