Finally the real reason for Load shedding

ANC not to blame for Eskom load shedding - Gordhan | The Citizen

Eskom decommissioning as much as 16GW of its coal-fired power stations immediately could lead to stage 15 load shedding.

www.citizen.co.za

Gordhan also states that African National Congress (ANC) is not to blame and load shedding is not the party’s fault.

“In 1983 under a different government, we had load shedding which led to a decision to build several power stations which were eventually completed in the early 1990s, and are still problematic so not everything is the fault of the ANC.”

He said rolling blackouts stemmed back from the 1980s and the deliberate power cuts would continue for at least another nine to twelve months.

So it apartheids fault because the power stations build back then are a problem.

I applauded PG for resisting Zuma's attempts to get his hand on the treasury, but as with CR, he's an ANC man through and through. Unfortunately for him, and the ANC, most people, including their voters, are getting gatvol with their bullshit.

Those power plants kept us going right up till 2008 without any issues, yet they are to blame now almost 40 years on? Yeah pull the other one, also there was no load shedding during the 80s sure the EAF was at 70% still higher than the current what 59% but the lights were kept on.

Eskom was "Power Company of the year" in 2001 and that after the post 1994 electrification scheme.

Gordhan, the ANC MUST take responsibility for Eskom's current state, it was running perfectly fine till ANC members started using it as a piggy bank.

Also, here is a less bias article.

The Department of Public Enterprises has warned that Eskom could cease to exist by April. Here's how it went from an award-winning power company to "technically insolvent".

Load shedding in the 80's nogal. I was alive and well at that time and it is very funny that I never noticed nor experienced it. Try thinking up another story Mr. Gordhan

 

[AlphaJohn]

Oh so the NP cancelled all the new power stations post 1994

Did not know that....

 

[Side Effect]

Everybody is looking backwards to find somebody to point fingers at. Who cares. What happened yesterday is gone forever. We can only look forward to clean up this mess. Take responsibility and do something about it.

New generation won't come from looking in a history book. Go build something.

Politics doesn't generate electricity. It only gives media24 more drivel to churn out.

There was none, Koeberg actually came live in the 80's.

They are trying to rewrite history.

Go read older news24 articles like the one I posted then compare them to the bullshit on eskom's website if you don't believe me.

They lie so much they can't even remember half of their lies

Oh ..... you want to go there and drag up Eskom's past?

OK let us do that ..... with a random screenshot

I guess this comes because someone else already used the excuse about the boat with the diesel getting stuck offshore. The only "load shedding" I remember from the 80's was because of non-payment.

Have they ever not lied?
