Ramaphosa said technologies continue to improve and become more efficient. He said he looked forward to technologies that could make clean coal more accessible at a feasible price.

So, we will not be going green then?

Eskom 2.0 is going green.

It makes no sense given the deposits we have. We should be looking at getting it out cheaper and maybe cleaner. But moving from a resource we have in abundance seems stupid tbh.

OT, but the same news thread,

Ramaphosa says during the apartheid days, there was a law that only white people could become certificates mine workers. Black conducted the hard labour in the mines, Ramaphosa says. “All the white miner would do is look and press a button to detonate,” Ramaphosa says.

uhm... I knew white miners who did hard labour deep into the 2000s. Most are working up North now.

Ramaphosa says unless the economy is opened up to all South Africans, the country will never grow.

Ramaphosa says he does not know any black person who has inherited something from their parents. But on the white side, almost all white people inherited something from their parents, he says.

To validate your point in ZA you need to throw in a blame the whitey token comment.

 

[Fulcrum29]

Is it only me or is Ramaphosa a bit arrogant on the BEE and AA topic?

 

[Pitbull]

???

I guess they burned their belonging when they died? xD

Technically not really moving from “a resource we have in abundance” as they don’t really know how to turn this resource into useable electricity anyway

True.

But here is the fact.

The ANC took over all facets of South Africa in 1994. They had the government, the judicial system, the economy. Everything. South Africa's demise is solely on the ANC alone. Not Jan. Not the white people. Not Verwoerd. Not Apartheid. Not white monopoly capital. Everything is on the ANC and their policies, decisions and laws. They can blame who they want and what they want. Their arguments are tone-deaf.

As we head towards 2024 and elections and the country continues on its downward spiral... You can expect a lot more bollocks about race i think.

I lol'd, but 100% true!

 

[Ponderer]

Yeah sure Cyril - the ANC is gonna fix ESKOM.
We believe you.
Those that don't believe you can simply check the magnificent track record of all the stunning successes of the ANC.

Sad thing is... the masses hangs on every word that comes out of his mouth. He can spew as much crap as he wants, 50% of the population will listen and believe him.

I don't know in which context this was said, but is this like his boiling pot

Ramaphosa says he would still tie young white South Africans to a tree because he wants them here. “They are South Africans.”

 

[Fulcrum29]

Ramaphosa says through BBBEE, the government wants to empower women. He also refers to the government’s black industrialists programme. There is a great deal of progress, but it will take some time, says Ramaphosa.

On that note, BIS is troubled with corruption.

 

[Pitbull]

Previously he said if he could he would tie white people to a tree and keep them here from emigrating. As We're all African and their skills are needed. But they can't be employed unless set quota is full xD

 

[dualmeister]

Wait! I thought buying ships was the new priority?
