Mantashe announces mines can generate own power

"Self-generation will be part of our make-up of energy supply to take the pressure off from Eskom," he said."However, generation to sell is business.

This would require licensing.”Mining companies have approached Mantashe, asking the government to allow them to build their own power plants so they are not subject to an unreliable energy provider.

Now what has Eskom have to say about that!! Na Na Na Na, Na Na Na Na hey hey there GOODBYE!!!

So how is the current Eskom debt going to be paid off ?

That will happen in 2058
