I have lived in SA since 1952
There was no "load-shedding" until 2008
There were the occasional power failures, due to infrastructure failings, but no deliberate load-shedding
Which history book is this man reading from? One he wrote himself?
I thought that PG was an honourable man until I read this twaddle and BS

 

[VooDooC]

What if there was loadshedding we never had that in the 80s in 90s.power failure once in a blue moon for a hour or so due to maintenance on substations or a fault somewhere sure... But not ****ing weeks on end of constant power off

 

[HumanShield]

PG is the problem. He had all these years to fill up the eksom board and now he's only waking up? He had goodwill left from the zuma years, but that's faded very quickly. His tiny little communist brain will never comprehend the horror show that he's responsible for.

Nope that's an 80s hair style, was quite common back then

Well in Northriding living with my dad in the 90s we often had power failures up to 4 hours, right through till I moved out in 2007, mainly as the substation wasn't maintained and extended after all the new townhouses started popping up.

Tsek jou <<Insert Hunters favorite word>>

Fact of the matter is Medupi and Kusile took too long to complete and the overspending is just on stupid levels. Koeberg is also a good example of how the existing infrastructure is just not maintained.

“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.”

My brother in Christ, it isn't those stations:

When the coal-fired power plant at the Bingham Canyon copper mine in Utah started up, Franklin D. Roosevelt was running for his fourth term as president. The top music hits were sung by Bing Crosby, Jimmy Dorsey and Dinah Shore. D-Day was still a couple of months away.
People born that year are now collecting Social Security.
Yet 70 years after opening, the power plant north of Salt Lake City hasn’t yet retired. It is, depending on how you calculate it, the oldest in the nation. And it’s still running with the original boilers, steam turbines and fans to power the company’s smelter and crushing operations. The local managers want to replace three of the four units at the plant with a more efficient combined cycle model, but that costs hundreds of millions of dollars and they’re awaiting approval from the parent company, Rio Tinto Kennecott.

They’re not as efficient as a new coal plant, but it’s still economic for us to operate rather than purchase electricity from the local utility,” said Michael Vaughan, principal adviser for energy programs at Rio Tinto Kennecott, which draws about 160 megawatts from the plant.
This isn’t the only U.S. coal plant of advanced age. The average coal plant in the United States is 42 years old, but the oldest — and least efficient — date from the 1940s and early 1950s. Many of them also lack the most modern pollution controls and contribute to poor air quality.

Turns out if you maintain something, it generally lasts a very good amount of time. Ditto for putting decent quality coal into them.

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

Ditto.

 

[McRuder]

History is written by those who wants you to believe it. We live in a country where many do not have access to historical records, with the added drawback of illiteracy. To people that do not have those limitations, history lessons by politicians are obvious lies. To the rest it is truth, this is what they will believe. These kinds of statements by politicians are not made from incompetence or a lack of knowledge, it is deliberate. Do not assume these politicians are stupid, they absolutely know what they are doing. This is a checkmate move.

 

[Jet-Fighter7700]

remember the ANC playbook is to distract and call attention to something else,

maybe permanent R350 basic income grant for everybody?

 

[R13...]

Gordhan is talking ****. The only station to be commissioned in the 90s is Majuba in 1996.

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.

Hou op poespraat jou fokken nar...

Thats one of many basic reasons it not childs play to start a new country, you have to have your basic ducks in a row and keep it like that right through, resources & money are not a game to play, they are connected to Nature which will come down hard if ignorant.
