ANC's ideological energy battle - while South Africa bleeds

[Jan]

Daily Eskom power cuts for South Africa and no solutions — because the ANC is in chaos

South Africa's Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme (IPPPP) has faced several delays since the first request for proposal was released in 2011 — and the country won't see private power added to the grid until mid-2023.

This is according to the chairman of the African Independent Power Producers Association, Thomas Garner.

He explained that mixed messages from the government, poorly designed programmes, and specifically energy minister Gwede Mantashe are to blame for the delays.

When is someone just going to take the government to court over this? It's clearly a constitutional violation.

We need to form something that is the equivalent of OUTA to fight this battle and clean up the energy sector.

Come now, stop being all PC about it...

We have Eskom power cuts and no solutions because Gweezy can't fund his retirement with IPP stuff...

Give me a giant flag rather than energy!

Very little BEE involvement in renewables compared to coal, I suspect. Indeed, I know of a few foreign-owned companies that are active in the renewable energy space in SA.

Well I guess and I'm pointing out the obvious here. This is the result of an inept bunch of circus clowns thinking they know better than everyone else and actually think they can run this country. I'm pretty sure actual circus clowns could do a better job. Viva cANCer fukkups viva!!

Where's the bit that shows the ANC is in chaos?

Or was it just to get a clickbait title?

Nah, its just stating the obvious really... and then accurately blaming Gweezy for our power fsckup.

Exactly - came here to say the exact same thing.
MyBB - shame on you for what is a total clickbait heading.

Yes but you can hardly call something that is deliberately planned "chaos"

Sometimes I wonder at the comprehension of the average MyBBer. Or do you guys just read the fluffy headlines?

No don't answer that!

 

[GhostSixFour]

Oh no. What will Moody's say about this? Right, nothing. Cause they're in on it.

Looks like he is about to explode.

My money's on shopped

Although he is a lard arse on the best of days. Pity Covid turned out to be such a damp squib to so many

Wonder what the criteria was, to become energy minister. Judging from the outcome, might have been chosen because he played with batteries as a kid

There was this funny other article where they said that the reason we are out of electricity is because we are too reliant on using electricity and we should use LPG gas for cooking instead.

Clearly they missed the point where soo much has and is still being stolen via Eskom through corruption. And then that 1/3 to 1/2 of power generation is pretty much offline due to breakages.

But heck, we use too much electricity. Reminds me of the need for a submarine to protect us from sharks speech.
