The minister of international relations and cooperation, Naledi Pandor, questioned why electricity plants kept breaking down and labelled that as “an oppositional act against South Africa”. This remark echoed those of minister of mineral resources and energy, Gwede Mantashe, who said the utilityThese are two declarations from cabinet ministers who are worried about the detrimental effects of stage six load-shedding on the lives and livelihoods of the people.
Mantashe has committed to ending load-shedding in less than “six to 12 months”, which was supported by the minister of finance, Enoch Godongwana. This makes the ongoing attacks on Mantashe odd and suspicious. A closer examination of state-owned enterprises operating under the department overseen by Mantashe reveals obvious signs of a turnaround.
This can be extended to the Council for Geosciences, which has published more than 90% of geological data online for free to drive exploration activity in the country from 1% to 5% of global exploration spent. The council is piloting technologies such as carbon capture use and storage in Mpumalanga. These people seem to know that Mantashe will be able to fix load-shedding in the short term. Meaning their plans to run Eskom down, unbundle, privatise and sell at R51 will not happen under the department led by Mantashe. This also means the free rein of the renewables lobby and their funders is over.
The ANC delegates were correct to concur that it is impossible to deny the existence of climate change. But they emphasised that the energy transition should be handled carefully to avoid undermining development and having a detrimental effect on people’s lives and means of subsistence.
And yes indeed there are great secrets hidden by Mantashe and Cyril. Great deed have been planed but the unfortunate part of this is that the nation is abused

It's obvious he's blocking their way
This fat over eaten commie pig must be removed from employment and any business dealings.
It was created to allow CORRUPT ANC CRIMINALS to bring in KARSHIP and Nuclear not rocket science people
It's a no brainer!
What absolute rot. Scraping the barrel
An ANC sparked crisis so that you can jump in with ur millions invest into the renewable energy and make millions off our backs. Brah go sit in jail asb
I'm not a member of any lobby group.. I just want my fucken electricity that I pay for, so fcuk Mantashe anyway..
South Africans believed the lies that you can switch from coal to renewables as replacement for base load. wind and solar cannot be relied as base load because weather changes I.e don’t sun or wind everyday. Manthashe is correct these can only be be used to supplement base load
Someone really saying this nonsense?
Attacks on Gwede Mantashe are by a fed up SA, he doesn't feel the pain of Loadshedding since he has the back up generators in the comfort of his ministerial home. I am now convinced that M&G is a ANC propaganda machine and are not real journalists
nonsense, coal is just a cover, floating ships are not any different from the campaign by this one,
The longer the paranoid ANC remains in power, convinced that only THEY should rule SA, the more they resemble SA's former masters, the ApartheidEraNationalParty, in their obsession with power & in blaming LiberalsAndGreenies, but NOT themselves, for SA's race to the bottom!!
In the ApartheidEra, ParanoidConspiracyTheorists in the NationalParty used to see Liberals & RedsUnderTheBed behind every 'oppositional' act! So too the ParanoidANC whose apologists blame LiberalsAndGreenies for Eskom's failures & Loadshedding: Ludicrous!!
The ramblings of paranoid, AntiPrivatisation ANC ConspiracyTheorists who will clutch at ANY straw, in a desperate attempt to avert attention from their OWN failings in directly contributing to the failures of Eskom & thus bringing about loadshedding!!
Wake up and smell the roses before making inane statements....
eskomsalaryshedding over 40 000 employees and nobody can fix the problem, and now they got more money, let's start salary shedding at Eskom and see how quickly they fix the problem and they still want trillions to fix it were has all the money gone. Retweet please
The truth in this!
This energy crisis has going on since 2007. The government has not listened to the experts.
Let the criminals fight each other
