Eskom facing a critical coal crisis

Information received by EE Publishers indicates that the coal crisis at Eskom is worsening, with at least four of Eskom’s 15 coal-fired power stations now having less than 10 days of coal on hand.

More stations may possibly be affected.

A new week, another new article like this.

This reads like déjà vu. I'm sure they published something very much like this a few months ago.

Yip. Then we had denials, some reveals, some CEO's wrapped on the knuckles. Frantic purchasing and government intervention. Then it went quiet, so presumably the status quo returned and we find ourselves back to the beginning of the cycle again.

What a load of BS, Eksdom does this every time they need money or want to increase the rates.

Another ANC success story.

This is straight out of Mad Max - Beyond Thunderdome...

We've seen this crap before. Pity they're not more creative.

1. Create false reason to implement load shedding.
2. Load shed.
3. People get pissed and demand an end.
4. Put out a tender to satisfy false reason.

I wonder who's getting the coal tender now that the Guptas are out of the picture...

If I got a cent everytime Eskom cries about a coal shortage, I'd go out there and buy them all the coal they'd ever need.
That excuse they always use to try cover up and hide their ineffectiveness and inadequacies is getting real old, real fast.

It is funny and sad at the same time.
