This is good - finally a sizable amount of power which could be added to the grid and would presumably have a high Energy Availability Factor, unlike renewables

EFF helps swell the coffers of Afriforum which is then used for their projects.

Van Zyl said on 13 November 2018 Julius paid R126 703.59. On 10 January 2019 the EFF paid R108 960.79 into AfriForum’s coffers.

The fighters paid another R109 098.30 on 5 June 2019. The total amount the EFF spend on AfriForum thus far comes to R344 762.86

Pay back the money: This is how much Julius Malema paid AfriForum

Julius Malema and EFF lost hundreds of thousands in court battles against AfriForum.

‘They have no shame’: R15m sports field draws mixed reactions

Is this sport 'stadium' worth R15m?
