10000% this is my thinking as well.

Loadshedding impacts everyone, hell the employee that cleans the coffee machines was complaining to me this morning how she can't live like this... I really believe this is a case of bad thing for now means good thing later...

I really believe the ANC is going to get hammered in the next election - and when you hear people like the employees who clean the coffee machine saying "Cape Town doesn't have it as bad as the rest of the country" ... I believe there is hope.

Oh yes, they're most definitely going to get a beating. Won't even make 50%.

South32 in talks with Eskom to buy 900MW in nuclear power for Hillside aluminium - Miningmx

SOUTH32 is in discussions with Eskom regarding buying nuclear power for Hillside Aluminium which the Perth-headquartered group said could become uncompetitive if the talks failed. “We have a view that ultimately Europe will not take aluminium that is not green which potentially makes Hillside...

Looks like the market has spoken. It's not good enough to have cheap electricity anymore, now they need cheap green electricity. Maybe they should build their own nuclear plant in Richard's Bay.

What a cool idea.

That would be a whole level drop and Eskom would actually be able to sell the power for over the 17c per KW South32 is paying.

I'll do a naked song and a dance if they get less than 10%.... and nope, there will not be any free mindscrub and eyebleach, you can bring your own. Times are hard.

Hold off on the dance recitals. I think ANC will remain in the 40% post elections.

I doubt it's 17c anymore as they signed a new deal a couple of years ago.

The new 10 year deal was made in 2021... ok that is "a couple"

PnP and other stores also will pay out SASSA grants.

Fun and games will come when cash is scrapped in favour of cards and electronic payments.
