While South Africans wait for President Cyril Ramaphosa to announce plans to resolve the power crisis, mineral resources and energy minister Gwede Mantashe is reportedly in talks with the president over the establishment of a “second Eskom’’.
“We can’t allow power stations to only hear decommission. We must also have a build programme and we think if Eskom has no capacity, let’s start a second generation company.” Manthashe’s comments drew mixed reaction online, with some claiming it would improve power supply and others claiming it was doomed to fail and “another excuse for dodgy dealings”.increasing the threshold for embedded generation from the current 100MW, or scrapping it altogether;
No ways these greedy politicians will eat this SOE UP TOO🤔🤔🤔😡😡
The fact that you are entertaining this tells us a whole lot of things.
Lol, they need to cut the red tape, but GwedeMantashe1 wants another SOE so he can enforce the red tape, we are honestly beyond politics CyrilRamaphosa we just need a solution, the best one, not the best political solution
It does bcz monopolizing the electricity kill the consumers, look in Vodacom, MTN, Cell C and Telkom when you 30 airtime it will stay the same but when you buy 100 electricity it gives you 60 units so bringing the 2nd competitor will benefit consumers greatly
The only two about it will be state capture 2
Money to set up Eskom 2.0 should be used to fix up Eskom 1.0! Qhaa! Qwaba!!
Weren't disbanding?
