Nuclear build to start this year

Nuclear build to start this year

The Cabinet is finally to see the nuclear deal that the South African government signed with Russia.

 

[The_Unbeliever]

In a subtle but notable departure from previous wording, Joemat-Pettersson said the nuclear build would be handled in a “fair, transparent and cost-effective manner”. In his most recent State of the Nation address President Jacob Zuma said the procurement would be by way of “a fair, transparent and competitive procurement process”.

Expect pigs to start flying, horses to grow horns and chickens to grow teeth.... and the taxpayer to go bankrupt.

Great, with Russia contorlling our energy security what could possibily go wrong?

*kof* Ukraine *kof* Poland *kof* Georgia *kof* Estonia.... its not like Russia would ever use energy reliance as a means of political manipulation for its geopolitical agenda. *kof*

Two of the most corrupt leaders in the world are orginizing this. This will definitly need to be investigated one day. I have very little doubt in my mind that this is a corrupt deal.

You get power, and you get power and you get power, you all get power!

I thought Zuma denied signing a deal, it was just preliminary talks?

Zoomer is happy, because now he can expand Nkandla/buy another jet/get a bigger convoy to push more people out of the way during rush hour.

Of course its a corrupt deal...

Zuma is padding his account for retirement. Putin is rebuilding an Empire.

 

[lexis]

and add that contract in which the Russians do not except any liability if something goes wrong

 

[zek 2371]

So everything is done in secrecy. Eskom is excluded, Joemat-Pettersson was not part of the delgation and, last but not least,

Nor did she specify when the deals will be released to the public. Cabinet can choose to do so, or not, while Parliament has mechanisms to consider agreements in secret should it choose to do so.

And yet they say that

the nuclear build would be handled in a “fair, transparent and cost-effective manner”.

I call BS on that!

 

[Mortymoose]

er..... uhm..... who will be building these stations then?

Not the local labour, with all the strikes etc......

 

[bekdik]

Awe cummon guys. This deal will be open and transparent in exactly the same way as:

SANRAL
