All this happened a year and a half ago. The generator has been repaired and is undergoing end of manufacturing test and will be delivered to Koeberg by December. Why is it big news now?
News24 reported that a steam generator meant for Unit 1 had dropped in a factory in China.

During the briefing, Oberholzer indicated that the drop happened a year and a half ago, and all the repairs to it have been completed.

Featherstone further added that the steam generator was on an assembly line and dropped by about a foot (or 30 centimetres) to the floor. The analyses, inspections and repair work that followed took some time, but the steam generator is acceptable for use, he explained. The steam generator is now undergoing its end-of-manufacturing inspections and tests before being shipped to Koeberg,

People are worried, too much keeps going wrong. And we're not kept informed. And we are lied to. And despite wonderful promises things just get worse.
And then some more leaks out..

No additional nuclear.

So to be clear, this was a screw up by the Chinese manufacturing company rather than Eskom? Makes for a change.
 
Unfortunately if there are consequences, our lack of accountability system still looks better.

Concentration camp China

Yup that's because during load shedding demand shifts, so the people who would've done things at 4 to 6 now do their things at 6 and those that probably would've done their things later do their things earlier as well.

Fridge is now on solar power. No more worries.

Things will get worse.

Agreed, we need to accept that this is the new norm - have to get our heads around the fact that we will most likely have loadshedding for (hopefully) one week a month for the next few years (hopefully).

We will adapt to the new norm and work around it.

Problem is, the number of people leaving SA (shrinking our skill and tax base) which is what worries me.

My hope is that, when faced with disaster, we are often pushed to find solutions
