treesforlife3 The last tiger that walked around in Gauteng was euthanized. So now what ?
Mr handbrake you are no tiger
ag ... rerig ?!
Knowing that my investment is in safe hands got me excited. I made that possible with his excellent trading technique. I invested R6,000. as capital and in a few days I got a return of R88,000. His transparency, reliability and diligence is undeniable.Markmaynardq
Best Minister in South Africa, he must be protected.
A tiger was shot last week for escaping... just saying
COAL time is OVER!
Maybe we should deal with you the same way we deal with escaped tigers?
In light of recent events, I believe it is safe to say tigers don't fare well in South Africa. JustSaying
SA needs a tiger , not a tiger's turd
We don't want tigers in SA,as was witnessed last week!
He will single-handedly kill the country to ensure his kickbacks from coal supply are safeguarded. No new renewable energy supply will see the light of day as he can not get rich from that.

So Gwede who claims he isn't responsible for eskoms destruction is now making threats against people trying to stop him destroying it further. What a tappet.
Begs the question, what does Mantashe have stand to lose from South Africa moving away from coal?
Loose Tigers get shot on sight, just ask the people of Wallkerville. You should NOT insult a tiger by calling yourself a tiger. I can tell you which animal you are, but I will go to jail.
🤣🤣🐅🐯🤣
The price of Jungle Oats just went up
Last tiger loose is SA was shot dead wasn't it?
not much hope for a tiger on the lose in South Africa that is now Souf Êfreeeaakaa (k) = he only has a 'kop vol gemors' get rid of him before he contaminates everything = he is just interested in feeding his enormous paunch and wash it down with strong, sponsored liquids
He's right... insofar we need the BASIS covered and that is coal.. since we're sitting on loads of it. As a fancy experiment go ahead with your green agenda.. solar, no worky worky when it's dark, wind.. no worky worky when there's no wind.. so it would have to be NUCLEAR.
Shame !! Anyone who thinks he is a tiger should be kept in a cage like one..
More like’ Don’t cross a 🦛’… but that’s adding insult to the poor animal
Tigers run free when they are well behaved and live with a morale compass. This is nature. Otherwise they get caught and get out in a Zoo. Contained for all to see. If he continues to misbehave …
🤣🤣🤣 We all know what happens to tigers 🐅...
Julle is way te arrogant Mnr. Mantashe. In the wise words of Mr. Einstein. 'You cannot solve a problem with the same mindset that created it'
Calm down GwedeMantashe1 , last tiger in SA, got shot
This tiger needs to be locked in the zoo
Since 2019 you’ve done everything to frustrate the situation and this is where we are now.
Show this man the door...
Crossbow will do the trick.
look at what happened to the last tiger...
Just resolve the energy crisis, whether it is coal or green. Thereafter, you can worry about the coal vs. green infighting. The collapse of the economy and increased unemployment as a result thereof is more important than personal battles.
Didn't go too well for Tigers the last week. Can be repeated.😏
mantashe and the ANC government has already received 300mil to shutdown the coal power station. acting like tiger, wait for when they don't fulfill their committment to UN agenda 2030, money is easy to take but foreign powers don't waste time. say hello to the IMF and world Bank
Tiger my ass this one is an old Gogo with idle threats chommies with Dr Zol 🤣🤣🤣🤌🏾🤌🏾🤌🏾🤌🏾
Listen carefully: he says he can’t allow anyone to obstruct the very lucrative coal tenders his cronies enjoy from supplying ESCOM. He just can’t. End of story
Don't Cross Sheba guys...!!😂🤣😂🤣
Tell him they shoot tigers here.
Yhooooooo! Haha hahahaha. Uncle Gweezy.
A tiger was killed few days ago
So whats in it for you Gwede? Or should i say, how much?
GwedeMantashe1 In light of the 43% of Eskom_SA's total generating capacity being idled, this comment makes no sense. By all means, rather pour R200 billion in restoring those coal plants than into just 1.2 gigawatts with KarpowershipSA. The country will get more bang for buck
Last tiger they caught was shot, just saying
Mantashe is a fossil pensioner that should just go and enjoy pensionarism now. SouthAfrica has enough coal to last us, that is if we don’t export all of it to the world as is happening now!
why are you pushing for coal - is their a financial benefit that sans is not aware of like ie trucking the coal
Don't cross the people - you will loose... Your power, like all dictators, will come to an abrupt end. You can't keep a coal fired power station on, so please, take your dirty, wet ass coal and your equally wet ass, dirty ANC and lahleka lapha...
Tiger? He’s a poessy cat.
You saw what happened to that other tiger, ne? So hou eide jou bek.
There are no tigers in africa!!!!
Gangster State 😳😰
Yes it is time you go good for nothing
GwedeMantashe1 I thought the tiger was eliminated or as you would like to put it euthanize. Don't forget throwing stones into the 💩 usually has repercussions when the stone hits the 💩 it tends to splash.
My guess is that this is the kingpin behind all the coal shenanigans. Methinks he doth protest too much. Get rid of him along with all his cronies. VoteDA2024 VoteDA2024 VOTEDA2024 VoteDA2024 VoteDA2024 VoteDA2024 VoteDA2024

Oo fok hom.Bee looter cader
Rubbish in charge for none of them step aside... so we will push them this year
What implementation did he made since he had been suffering from this issue?
Can he be realistic and do his job to serve people instead of fighting the use of green energy
What degrees does he hold? Highest grade of education?
He knows who he is😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Gaap. Jy baklei vir jouself en nie vir die land nie
Time to REST!!
I'd like to see 'liberals' supporting cryptocurrency in lieu of the reserve bank.
Dinosaur mentality prevails!
'Cross a Tiger' more like a Empty Vessel trying to be relevant
People never want to learn until it is too late to realise that they have been deceived. And many will follow just like him. 🧐🧐🧐
We the voters, don’t want coal. We the voter want a future
This tiger lost its teeth decades ago…
Ja, ne It's not about YOU, Mantashe Keep your claws inside We've seen enough crime and anarchy It's now about survival for South Africans Seems you're still on your own page Best you step aside or be moved aside South Africans deserve better
I have to point out that you are far from being a tiger. Try another animal....
This man must go ..
Sounds more like a message directed to President CyrilRamaphosa PresidencyZA than anybody.
He’s the one crossing the tiger. We don’t answer to him, he answers to the public. He must keep fucking around, he’s gonna find out.
GwedeMantashe1 thinks he's a tiger. He's a thief.
So now we're paying the salary of Tigers? More like hyenas.
Mantashe is worse in thinking he is God. His day is coming.
I support tiger on coal this Cyril renewable nonsense is taking us for simpletons.
The tiger is right. SA needs coal until such time it can do a smooth transition to clean energies. The so-called developed and so-called green economies such as Germany are opening new coal mines. Let's get really.
Looking after union jobs
Another backwards African who can't see two feet ahead of his own immediate desires. The planet needs to move AWAY from coal, and this ANC criminal cartel wants to cling onto it for the simple reason that they profit out of this organised crime. They are scum.
Uncle Gwede is not even a half-tiger!
His focus is on flexing his political muscle instead of fixing the energy crisis his syndicate has created
Is he seriously threatening his own county's citizens?
Tiger, we support you
I'll support coal if u guarantee 100% power and end loadshedding
tzwide1 We had our cat now it's the tiger, we truly living our African Safari😂
Because you can’t loot renewable energy as easily
Support the coal as long as it can produce power if not then I guess we must look somewhere else
The tiger is right. At this stage we need another 5 power station that will generate electricity and replace the power we lost from decommission power station. We have to much demand. Demand is high and our supply is lacking fire power
Mantashe we are done being dictated to! You are there to do what is best for the citizens. If you have a hearing problem go see an ENT. Better still just do us all a favour and piss off!
See what happened to the last 'Tiger' that got out of control?
Politically i don't support him but I suppose him on Coal stance.
Renewable energy is not the solution to the Eskom crisis we're in right now. Hybrids for residential use, and/or small to medium enterprises makes sense, but we need to use our coal wisely and make sure that it is of the best quality to prevent breakdowns.
Check this poes
Jacinda Ardern resigned, Liz Strauss did same. South Africa has the greatest underperforming and crooked leader and yet no outcry to force him out of power. This is so because he benefits imperialist while the majority stand idly by in their imposed poverty. It's a shame for SA.
Maul them minister Gwede...
Its all about him , a bully of note.
Don't cross a tiger? Where's the tiger.
Can someone like paulivw please investigate this guys link to a coal money train. What other reason can there be?!
Ohh! The tiger has spoken! We’re trembling
I support whatever it is we have. He just fails to utilize it to the level where we sit with permanent load shedding.
The dictator is threatening
He knows he owns lots of trucks that takes coal to Eskom
GwedeMantashe1 a power bully. Only his way and no other. Useless minister that has done nothing in years and now thinks he knows best. He should be fired. He must have stuff on CyrilRamaphosa for him to still be around.
It is sad when politicians, worldwide start threatening because not everyone agrees with them, even worse when they are not experts on the subject..or are only in it for their gratification .there should be an age limit or Term limit for ministers like they have for presidents
He really took to heart what that girl called him, tiger -tiger lol
Don't worry. They will do what they want while he is eating lunch.
Carl_CE50 Shame.. He remembers that one time when his slay queen called him a tiger🐅
I hope he discovers that the tiger is powerless against a gun
Does he not know the story of the tiger that was on the loose in Jhb?
This dinosaur should be extinct.
In the light of the recent sad debacle involving Sheba of Walkerville, an ironic comment from GwedeMantashe. All stray 'Tigers' - real and imagined - should ideally be relocated to their natural habitat.
The last tiger was shot because it posed danger to the public. This one should go the same way.
All political parties are there to how best solve citizens needs, SA has a big fat failure going on, which is also economic and jobs
I support the use of coal. We have sufficient resources, why can't we utilize it and solve a problem that affects manufacturing tremendously.
Is he threatening people, because they have different views?
A tiger has balls, you have nothing.
The objective is not to fix this problem since they are profiting from our suffering
He doesn't own this country. Get rid of him.
Not taking any sides in the ANC factions but this guy really needs to retire and spend the rest of his life with his family now... i mean the guy can barely walk.
The Tiger has spoken.
GwedeMantashe1 please go and retire you have run out of fuel in your tank
