He's apparently the worst, so should be right at the top.

Thabo Mbeki, Jacob Zuma, Cyril Ramaphosa: The people who killed Eskom over 25 years

In 1997, the warning bells were ringing that South Africa faced a dark future because Eskom would run out of capacity to supply a growing populace and an expanding economy

Mantashe.

He is the problem and the sooner he slips in the shower the better.

Wasn't he meant to address the nation like 2 weeks ago?

Time is such a colonial concept

 

[Mike Hoxbig]

If it was an actual emergency in his mind, then he would have just announced it. Not announce that he's going to announce it.

And I wouldn't trust a word that fokole says anyway. Still waiting for the cabinet reshuffle that was supposed to happen in 2 weeks after their birthday...

I just wish it will not be another Covid-19 R500 billion looting spree.

R500m they are getting from where? They do not have this amount in the fiscus. Since last year SARS no longer get this tax money in.

South Africa’s biggest cities move to mitigate load sheddin

Cape Town, South Africa’s second-biggest city, plans to make its biggest attempt yet to reduce its reliance on the ailing national power utility by holding a tender next month for the provision of as much as 1,000 megawatts of power to the municipality.

The tender will seek so-called dispatchable power, which can be supplied whenever it is needed from anywhere in the country. The move comes as the country endures its worst-ever energy crisis, with Eskom struggling to meet demand and imposing record blackouts.

Cape Town’s plans follow legislation passed in 2020 that allows municipalities to buy electricity from providers other than Eskom.


The City of Johannesburg, meanwhile, is considering establishing an infrastructure fund to finance a R400 million plan to implement measures aimed at mitigating power outages.

The money would be used to fund the recommissioning of emergency power plants, the implementation of a system to regulate high-energy use equipment such as geysers and swimming pool motors, and the implementation of a smart-meter system to limit the amount of electricity distributed to residents’ homes.

The city plans to approach development-finance institutions, private companies and the government to finance the project.

The DA should sign up and grab a Kapowership or two before the ANC has a chance. Imagine they beat them to the punch and are even more successful than they always are at showing the ANC on their puss.
