Load-shedding to continue for another 18 months

South Africa faces another 18 months of regular power cuts and won’t be able to end them until sufficient generating capacity is added to the electricity grid to meet demand.

Yeah, we've heard this horseshyte before Jan...

Don't believe you anymore.

What will change in those 18 months?

What will change in those 18 months?

Bloomberg. Literally running with an off-the-cuff comment as though it's fact.

“We need another year or year-and-a-half to get out of this,” Oberholzer said at the Agri SA conference near Johannesburg on Thursday. “We are going to go through a tough time over the next year and a half.”

(Still can't ignore these guest accounts...)

What will change in those 18 months?

It will just get worse.

Could always just hire people competent enough to fix the 15k thats permanently offline... then we'll have excess available to do little things like create jobs and grow economy and even export. Just a thought.

Yep, another 15 vears won't kill us. Realistically speaking, that's probably what it will take.

Such optimism!
A mere 18 months to solve a capacity and corruption problem that's only become worse over the past decade. Dream on.
