Stil not taking anything this bulls hitter says seriously.

Why anyone would latch onto kak like that is beyond me.

For sure. Plenty of other people (literally everyone) know what is wrong with Eskom and what needs to be done to fix it.
Also, if Eskom was ever to be privatized, it shoukd be done locally.

Who is this guy? Who's the "we" he keeps referring to? Where is he based? What Eskom work did he do? What Eskom work is he doing?

He gives off pretentious vibes.

Biznews invited him onto their platform and so I thought he was legit. After doing some digging, yeah, well... Not so much. Way too many questions around what he does and who he is.

Yeah no worries, understandably these things happen.

What made me suspicious was an earlier vid of his I clicked on after watching the one I responded to. Everything about it just screamed wannabe to me. From his setup, the way he talked like, "we' said this and "we" are doing that, even mentioned "we" are preparing an international court case (lmao). The fool is not involved in anything remotely related to Eskom. He is simply echoing news reports after the actual news reports.

He keeps on repeating himself yet never says anything of use = red flag.

Cable theft's not cool.

They really should impose very harsh punishment for cable thieves in order to deter other thieves, but since it's the ANC, it'll be only a slap on the wrist...

Both middle of this year if I remember correctly. I can't find the source for Kusile's chimney repairs but I remember it being mentioned in one of the CTO's updates to the media.

I think end of March for Kusile.

Should be that yes, August for the last Medupi unit though that could be extended to 2024. Koeberg should be June

 

[Priapus]

So we should expect LS continually until at least June.

Don't forget to add anc delay factors. Probably until 2034

And when Koeberg unit 1 comes back online, the other one goes off for the same process

Don't know, technically it should only be around 2024 as it was refueled late 2022, and they run it for 400 or so days between refueling.
