Electricity generated by South Africa dropped by 3.3% for July compared to the same period last year, Statistics South Africa said on Thursday.

I wonder how long Stats SA will be allowed to continue to publish this evidence, which directly refutes Mantashe's "we are the victims of our own success" narrative.

They won't be stopped..

Mantashe will just continue the narrative. Our "leaders" don't expect their "minions" to be able to link the two items together.

Yeah I know.. I'm impressed even though I shouldn't be. Has the unit at.koeberg gone offline for maintenance?

Yes, it did.

 

[ToxicBunny]

Then I'm even more impressed.

I was expecting that event to bring back load shedding to some degree.

Elections coming up in 2016. Back to the diesel generators for a while.
Why do you think oil stocks are low here.

Its going to come back and bite us again big time. So short sighted.
We need more cheap generation fast, not billions of rands squandered so that some BEE crony linked to the ruling party gets kickbacks.

The fact that many industries are closing down also helps reduce the demand. Look at Highveld, ArcelorMittal, etc.

And for this, the bosses at Eskom will get bonuses!

It would have been better if it could have taken over for the costly open cycle turbines.

I'm fairly certain this kind of information is not allowed to be censored as it is important for foreign investors to be aware.
