Load shedding crisis sees South Africa knocking on Karpowership’s door once again

South Africa made fresh inquiries about securing electricity supply from Turkey’s Karpowership as it battles its worst-ever power outages, according to people familiar with the situation.

No fsck off...

Any attempt to get Karpowerships involved should be dragged to court and stopped, we do not want to pad Gwede's retirement fund.

and 3 months now?? last week it was 14 months.

Who from SA is knocking on Karpower's Door?

Oh look, Baas Uncle Gwede's multimillion powership plan is back on the table!

Load shedding crisis sees South Africa's USELESS GOVERNMENT knocking on Karpowership’s door once again​

Now that Gwede is in charge of it all suddenly the powerships are back on the menu.

Colour me surprised.

gwede should rather eat some of those magic congo power rocks and shove a light globe up his bum if the wants to help with loadshedding.

I would less irritated if existing private power-generation companies in-country are afforded the opportunity to sell their electricity, first.

R50 however says that Baas Uncle Gwede will get his powership deal in first, after which the ANC will say it no longer needs the local private power-generation companies

Here's another R50 bet:
The ANC will implement legislation which will require the application, and ANC approval, for any new and existing domestic & commercial solar+battery backup installations.

It'll be hard and complicated, like getting a firearm.

ANC be like.

They're already laying the groundwork : https://www.news24.com/news24/south...olding-back-more-megawatts-ramaphosa-20230123

Their own redtape is getting in the way, so will promulgate emergency legislation to get around it... Whilst I want this loadshedding to go away, I am 100% opposed to the ANC getting more power to just push deals through in an "emergency" fashion because we all know what that actually means.

This is classic ANC encroachment.

They make shiit so bad that any plan to improve it gets lapped up, and punted, by the mainstream, over finding the root cause that brought us to this stage.

Note, where not at the "shiit is so bad" part, yet. We're fast approaching power cut levels that will affect water and sewage, which is when the ANC will gladly intervene.

Baba needs a new S class.

 

[mojoman]

The situation is dire people...we NEED the powerships before all KFCs are closed...And if you thought the 2021 riots were crazy...wait till the chicken runs out...

Nationalize the bastard. Mineral rights belong to the government.

They most probably destroy the system on purpose to secure all the juicy lucrative opportunities.

You give them waaaaay too much credit.

They're just further capitalising on the previous theft and corruption.
