CAPE TOWN - President Cyril Ramaphosa has stressed that his new energy plan of maintaining and bringing on new power to South Africa's old, struggling grid doesn't happen overnight.
Ramaphosa was speaking on the sidelines of an African National Congress event in Cape Town over the weekend, adding that those sabotaging Eskom were landing in handcuffs for the first time.
Why is the process only starting now when loadshedding has been happening for years?
Actions speaks louder than words my President.
Ramaphosa we are sick of excuses.
But the cadres can plunder finances in less than a day 🤔
We never expected it to happen overnight. We expected it to happen in 18 months to 2 years as was estimated back in 2015
According to many energy experts, it’s impossible to go completely green. We must have a base load. Stop sending our best coal to first world countries and start looking after South Africa! We need that coal first!!!!
Uhm, in 2015 there was plan, that within 18 months to 2 years WE could forget about Eskom problems. 7 years later... Things have gone from bad to critical. We can not trust them anymore. All talk no action.
He was right... Still off this morning
Instead of singing 'kill the boer', rather apologize and beg them to come back and help. Clearly you and your thieving cronies are not capable.
Thats what happens when we elect Dealers instead of Leaders....
But stage 6 happened with immediate effect.
PresidencyZA CyrilRamaphosa must our electricity bills and SARS needs to happen overnight! If the good people of SA decide not to pay how are you going to pay your beloved politicians?
Even though you are happy to sink the whole SA economy with your green buy-out and you would do it overnight.....
I'm just gatvol hearing the same story every December, everyone votes for the same plan and nothing happens.
Will it happen before Jesus comes?
👇🏿
New donkey power plan is real?
After THIRTY years of ANC failure, you have now concocted yet another electricity supply 'solution?'....where does THAT come from?
They had so much time and money over the years
Not even in the next 5 years with all the corruption🤮🤮🤮
Had 28 years!
You have had 28 years what has the ANC been doing?
I would love to know what it actually is?
Ja like the 200 + billion 20 year plan with Madupi and Kusile? Please man
Yes I agree … because there is no plan … we’ll done ANC vivva !
Of course not. You can’t plan in the dark!
Please define 'overnight' CyrilRamaphosa . Would 15 years qualify as having surpassed your interpretation of 'overnight'?
Jaaaa.... Live in your palace.......
Tell that to the failed billion tender frauds.... we suffer, the people, citizens, not those high paid rich, greedy officials... talk is cheap... I believe and trust nobody in government
You had years for that process Mr President. Did the process not start in 2015
PresidencyZA Noone is claiming that the new energy plan must happen overnight but here we are talking about 15 years that should have given you more than enough time to put in place a plan B. Is this reasonable Mr President?
What process? First destroy the entire grid, the economy, people’s businesses and livelihoods, then rebuild Excellent plan Cyril, fucking excellent plan!!
CyrilRamaphosa PresidencyZA MYANC Listen pal we dont want to hear this KK! We have been hearing the same bullshit for 14 years! The next time you talk we want to hear... this project started, that project started in 1 year there will be x GW on the grid. Tired of excusess.FFS
This dude irks me
Give us timeliness CyrilRamaphosa This is one thing anc is not good at . Giving timelines on when thing will be fixed.Its understandable because for over 24 yrs and MYANC still don't know how to govern.
Sure but 7 years? I mean you were supposed to implement it that long ago
We know that but explain how it gets significantly worse every single day, we can go from stage 2 to stage 6 in a matter of minutes
Mxm! how many years him and his government wasted now these people are taking this country straight to hell 🙄
Sellout
No shit! As long as the scum thug ANC has any control it ain’t gonna happen - EVER!
It won't happen under your so called leadership
You are corrupt Mr Ramaphosa nothing you say will make difference to us
CyrilRamaphosa, you headed the warroom to address loadshedding while still DP and where are the results? Government has failed me as a citizen. When loadshedding first started around 2008 or so, wat plans did you start making ensuring enough capacity? It's called planning ahead
A process that will never see the light of day.
And the reason is simple ... it is a process because cadre-deployment driven state capture was also a 'process'. The ('state-capture') captured government-bus must now be painfully reversed back to 1994 to start the ANC's 'new dawn' all over from scratch.
Step down, Ntate Maaka.
He must stop talking becoz he had almost 4 to five years. On top of that he was a deputy president for 9 years
It should have been up nd running by now if we didn't fight Zuma about a nuclear power supply plant
nothing is happening under your leadership except regress. you are not a leader but more of a servant of the elite minority in this country. i do not trust you cause you sold your soul to the devil. you let your people suffer for your own benefit
Why did anyone ever expect anything to gwt better. It never has and never will as long as the ANC is in power. Its all just noise
It's a process MYANC CyrilRamaphosa GwedeMantashe1 have all stalled because South Africa is not important to them
This man is a problem collapsing economy of South Africa .new energy plan ya eng gone .fix eskom and stop trying to prove a point .people a getting poorest .We ask ANC comrades to the right thing this week .Ask your clueless president to resign or else no votes for you in 2024
You have had 30 years for any process and only excelled in one - corruption
CaptainObvious
I am reminded of the words of Moeletsi Mbeki who said that the ANC is like a group of children playing with a hand grenade. That is why they have brought this country to its knees.
Really?
Useless president
Kanti how long does it take to formulate a plan? 14 years 😳😳😳
Why only at an ANC event? Why isn't he addressing the whole nation and giving us the details?
He's being truthful
I'm tired of scheduling my life around loadshedding.
You’ve had 15 YEARS! Useless
Switching off the lights is a better plan to assist friends to get the deals
16 years is not enough time?
Well it’s been 15 years CyrilRamaphosa, how much longer must we wait?
18 years is not overnight, so we can expect the same from this government unless we change it.
That's the language of a thieves. Liz Truss resigned b/c she knows she couldn't do the job. The wickedness of enslaving African SAns is to know fully well that you are incapable, you got nothing to show & yet decides to stay on & dare talk of 2nd term. It's exceptional wickedness
which new plan is this? when do we stop with new plans and complete any plan? Is this the 2014 new plan, the 2018 new plan? The 2010 new plan? I'm curious, what's new about this plan.
Yeah you’re right, we’ve only been waiting 15 YEARS!!!
But Zweli Mkhize didn't say that...
Well load Shedding has been a thing since 2009 and it has taken them this long to make it worse. What could possibly go wrong in the next 10 years. Keep voting ANC and find out
Mr corruption. Why have you not been able to generate a decent spin around the illegal money found on YOUR farm. Why the secrecy about Denel providing military equipment to Russia via Simons Town Finding that spinning has got you dizzy ?
FIFTEEN YEARS. Since 2007!
It doesn't work overnight. Or in a month. Or in a year. Or years. 14/15 years to be exact. Wasn't it in 2015 you promised the end of loadshedding?
You must stop this nonsense because family's will suffer because of you selling coals to your brothers. They push you to run a test while we suffering of power. They said coals are not safe, but it safe to them.
A process? Eskom_SA just leave areas without power, they switch power off to areas whenever they feel like it without any regard for citizens, and the public are expected to just grin and bear it while gov have generators and free diesel for their power
That is what he said in 2015, smoke and mirrors 🖕
No, CyrilRamaphosa, this is not good enough. We have been patient for far too long. You said in 2015 this will be resolved, it's now December 2022 and we have to endure up to 10 hours of no electricity DAILY! So please, do better.
Starting to lose all confidence in you CyrilRamaphosa - every time you speak, its another excuse, another reason why things cant be done right. BraAubrey is right in his attack against the ANC. Stop making excuses and for crying out loud ... DO SOMETHING!!
😂😂🤮
But it also shouldn't take 14 years CyrilRamaphosa PresidencyZA MYANC Eskom_SA
Since when is 15 years overnight?
Ya ~ but how many years already ?
