Komati is decommisioned to be converted to renewables, Rooiwal isn't an eskom station it's Tshwanes, Camden, Grootvlei and Hendrina were mothballed until 2008 through to 2010, they were brought back to sort out power shortfall till Medupi and Kusile came online, but they have been causing plenty of issues thanks to their ages, the others have been having issues due to crap coal.
Geesus...

The old Government built power stations on average 0.42 power stations per year.

ANC has built a total of 2 in 29 years...
Well they did connect Majuba to the grid, though it did take 13 years to be built. Started in 83 first unit went live in 1996, which is actually longer then Kusile and Medupi

They did start doing something in 2008 numpty... Kusile and Medupi, so you cannot say since 2008 like a twat. They haven't done anything since 2018 when the real issues started.

Crap coal has been a constant of the South African power generation industry since its inception.

Yeah but not to the extent we've had recently, where they literally are stealing the better coal for rocks.

You got Rid of De Ruyter, that is a start in my books. Well done Ramaphopho.
Yeah sure cause he started it, I mean 2018 was 2 years before he even started it and that is when it started going down hill. 2020 was only saved due to lockdowns.
