Eskom’s load-shedding plan could kill thousands

Suspending a plan to retire 11,300 MW of South African coal-fired power generation to ease blackouts could lead to more than 15,000 deaths that wouldn’t occur if the plants were closed.

Most likely. Headline somehow seems a little less concerning when it reads "Eskom's load-shedding plan could kill thousands of ANC voters"

So this seems to be a trade of people for electricity? Of one we have excess and the other we have a shortage. What's not to like?

The ANC: Every single project delivered on-time, and within budget. Now warranting the longevity of South Africa's inhabitants.

Lekker BEE, AA and Transformation!

Sponsored propaganda.

And more would probably die if they didn't suspend the plan.

We know. How much do the ANC pay you for the b.s you post?

And more would probably die if they didn't suspend the plan.

the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few

Sponsored propaganda.

Its a tough one, they laid the foundation quite well with clean energy. Lining their pockets aligns well with pushing a noble cause, how does one find fault in it?

The ANC doesn’t also think as far as investing in research that aligns with their pockets like clean coal technology. So its hard to counter those wanting to reap from rolling out clean energy projects, they will constantly harp on the impact on the environment, yet they may not even care about it.

We are happy to sacrifice a few people. Fire those stations up!
