We’re doing something about load shedding, I promise: Ramaphosa

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.

How much power is Kusile and Medupi producing right now?

 

[wingnut771]

yes, I guess we'll say they built half a power station in 29 years

more like an eighth of a power station.

 

[wingnut771]

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

can't call it coal then.

 

[wingnut771]

The newer ones need proper coal

Who's fault is that?

Putting yourself at the end of a rope, along with your whole band of thieves would be a great start, Cyril. You cnut.

Started in 2008, actually I think might have been 2007, I think the term "Loadshedding" was coined in 2008. I could be completely wrong.

Correct. The first bout was for a brief time but it started in late 2007.

Volvo is German?

Was trying to figure out why the distrust from epah, so figured he drives a vehicle from the rival marque, but that explains it.

How much power is Kusile and Medupi producing right now?

Medupi is sitting at over a 70% EAF which is one of the better ones, with one unit down it will produce up to 4GW. Kusile right now is around 800MW only one unit is running.

It has coal dust sprinkled on it

He stole whatever bit of electricity the country had left.

Looting under cvnt Cyril makes the Zuma era look like petty theft.

Woke whites need to take direct responsibility for their #NewDawn bullshyte.

I thought it was de Ruyter that stole everything

 

[Lupus]

more like an eighth of a power station.

Well actually they've done 1 if you add the 5 working units and the one working unit so sort of

 

[KikzAzz]

So a six cylinder car, with only one cylinder working is fine?

 

[Lupus]

So a six cylinder car, with only one cylinder working is fine?

Yes if you smash it into one with 5 working cylinders... That's how you do it.

5 pages of drivel to get to the point. Why are the news media still writing articles on all this rubbish the ruling party is feeding us?

The term load shedding wasn't coined in 2008, as Pakistan was using it in 2002 and india in 2005, so no it's not like we coined the term, it's been around. Also yes it started in 2008, but it ended in 2008 until 2015 that's 7 years of no load shedding, then it stopped in 2015 until 2018. So we've not had it continously since 2008, in fact in 2011 Eskom actually managed to meet demands of 37GW easily.

Externally perhaps but internally that seems to be a term they have used for a long time.

An Eskom employee said the word "loadshedding" to me as a schoolkid touring a large Eskom sub-station outside PMB in the late 1990's when he was mentioning how he could potentially turn various neighbourhood grids off from his control board if Eskom did not generate enough power to go around.

Most likely the term has been around since Eskom built the grid.

Its the first time most of the public has heard of it yeah, it has been around since electricity has been probably.

wait for another scandal to pop up in the newsies soon, anything to divert attention away from this hot potato...

 

[Mista_Mobsta]
