, independent energy expert Hilton Trollip also slammed Mantashe’s proposal to convert at least three of Eskom’s ageing coal-fired stations to gas power plants to kickstart Eskom 2.0.
Markman strongly supports privatising South Africa’s state-owned companies and believes it is a viable solution for South Africa’s energy crisis. Mantashe also proposed converting Eskom’s coal-fired power stations into gas power plants to kickstart Eskom 2.0. “What they’re going to do… if they follow this plan, they’re going to continue with the lack of success they had over this past 5 to 6 years.”
South Africa is missing the point and want to blame the CEO of Eskom for the mess we find ourselves in.. But, his hands are tied because he cannot just fire incompetent staff they are being protected by labour laws which protect the so called under privilidged who by the way earn
You had 25 years to make Eskom 1.0 work, we don't have another 25 years for you to decide Eskom 3.0 might be the answer
Escom 1 is not even fixed yet and they talk about Escom 2 , total insanity
It could work but only if it is totally independent from government
