The economy is unstable and the poor in this country keep getting worse with no aid from the government. We already have a burning issue of illegal foreigners in this country that the government refuse to take action on regardless of the many please from it citizens. |

2026-01-12 09:55:03 +02:00 | John | No I do not | The cost of Eskom’s assets vs. tariff affordability | Correct me if I’m wrong – here is my understanding: It all started when Eskom approached Government in 1998 to begin planning for the next power generation capacity. ANC’s investment wing, Chancellor House, only finalised its 25% stake in Hitachi Power Africa (HPA) as BEE partner in 2005. Before then, HPA had no track record of providing supercritical boilers in South Africa. Therefore the construction of Kusile & Medupi power stations was delayed until the ANC could get a return from Hitachi’s contracts. (2007-2008) The generating capacity of those two power stations remains deficient. That underperformance and the delays in project initiation are the genesis of the load-shedding that has crippled the RSA economy; immeasurable destruction of value and of potential job creation by the ANC government. NERSA must not be allowed to coerce the public into bailing them out. |
