Kusile Unit 5 synchronised to grid for first time

[Lupus]

Well done. Hopefully this can remain online regularly and give full capacity. It is almost a whole stage reduction.

Is the release schedule till the next one still 10 months apart? Oh I see it is schedule for August.

Would be nice if mybb or any other news agency could have an article with the status of all the units currently synchronised and those that will come online soon and those that are offline/in repair.

So if I read the article correctly there should be an additional 2400 MW at the end of the year (this one and an additional 2 units).

That plus the repaired 3 units should help significantly.

An additional 2 units?? There are 6 at Kusile

That's why they are our friend, we can learn a lot from them, yet people throw baby sized tantrums because of our closeness to China.

Sometimes I don't know what South Africans want, they will moan about everything.

So far, our friends haven't helped at all. This still took longer than a decade

Oh they did.. They sent us many 6 or 7kw generators to run our hospitals and clinics remember. Sputla was VERY proud of that.

Yup wonder how many of those actually made it to the "hospital"

The one additional Kusile unit that will come on online this year and the One Medupi one. Only those were mentioned that will newly be added in addition with this one. Or did I read wrong?

And three units that had issues that was added back recently.

That is why I want a chart like thing to see where we stand.

Ahhh see, now we get into the nitty gritty... How does one define a hospital.

Medupi one has been out since August 2021 when it blew up, so it's not newly added, it's just taken almost 3 years to get it replaced

This is true

That's because we did not do the right thing and allowed them to build it, could have been done in a week.

No they were not.

ANC was blindsided by the Guptas & Zuma friendship, Ramaphosa tells Zondo

He admitted the governing party did not do enough in the wake of state capture claims due to the Guptas’ relationship with then ANC president Jacob Zuma.

They were friends of the President. The ANC followed the President. The President appointed the ministers. The Ministers do what the President's friends want, or they get fired.

They were our friends. Our here being the ANC government.

You mean the ones that weren't SABS approved?

Nah they weren't, where are they now? True friends stay with you through thick and thin and would never desert you no matter what.

Haaibo. They can build in a week but the ANC will steal the funds within 24 hours.

Someone didn't tell sputla that that was a requirement. He's sorting out the 'paperwork' when he gets back to work.

Yeah not really a good example of that. Vlad will burn this country to the ground if he thinks he could benefit from it.

Currently our government is playing the useful idiot role on the global political stage.

The Guptas will be our friends until Jesus comes or our firepool runs out of water.

Except they are learning the wrong lessons

Instead of learning how to be efficient and effective, they are learning how to be an authoritarian single-party state.

Firepools are very flexible
