EFF leader Julius Malema has urged party members to lead workers and coal mining communities in rejecting the agenda to collapse South Africa’s coal mining sector and government’s so-called Just Energy Transition.

This comes as Eskom announced that rolling blackouts will be reduced to stage 3 from 5 on Saturday morning and hopes to reduce it to stage 2 from Sunday morning. Eskom says stage 4 will be implemented in the evenings from 4pm until 5am over the weekend. Malema said that western countries have given President Cyril Ramaphosa $8.5 billion dollars to abandon coal in favour of renewable energyHe says this week’s visit to the country by US Secretary of Treasury Janet Yellen was to entrench the agenda to abandon coal.

“Comrades, there is no verifiable plan to fix the current crisis at Eskom, and to make matters worse there is no policy certainty as to what sources of energy ought to be used to ensure stable electricity supply in South Africa,” he claims.

Who give him money this time on the coal belt, last this rubbish Marched for Russian and Chinese vaccine Foolish

He probably benefits from keeping the coal running. He remains uninformed, unwilling to learn and oblivious to what matters for South Africans.

Is he fighting for coal mining communities or coal mining syndicates? Wasn't Eskom's coal problem worsened in EFF's years? B A Tobacco retrenched many blk ppl in EFF's years, right? Blk communities lost jobs/money on VBS heist, wasn't EFF involved on heist? Is EFF a Mafia Party?

Baby face noise maker.. Thieve..

Irrelevant but it has a nice populist ring.

Julius_S_Malema is not wrong. This is R100 billion, that is going to sit ideally by the incompetent MYANC. Instead of building wind farms, they could fit every roof top with solar panels in South Africa's lower income households. This would save electricity costs and be clean

EFF, the most racist party in the history of this country.

Isn't the EFF synonymous with the word collapse?

Doing the bidding of White Russian imperial interests .

I said from day one that Just Energy Transition is a SCAM. It makes zero sense to bet on imaginary energy creation when you have coal in abundance.

I wouldn't at all be surprised if the VBS thief benefits from the coal looting. The GucciRevolutionary cares only about money.

That cowardly little efftellytubbies malema is the black person's biggest enemy!!

No, Malema is clearly living in the past!

One doesn't need to be a genius to figure that there is a reason for Mantashe and the likes of Malema to keep fighting for outdated coal stations..they are making money of it somehow.

Like Andre de Ruyter said, you can't steal the sun or the wind 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Coal supplies to Eskom is controlled by criminal syndicates, they need to protect their cash inflows at all costs. Always be suspicious of those vehemently opposed to alternative power sources.

This guy is the biggest clown in the country 🤡

I am done getting out of this country. No future left in this country for our kids every gets stolen and broken down to the ground. We are fighting against each other not together against ANC

What’s your plan?

I agree why should we go into full renewables right now when we have a source that is coal & we need energy,our country is not equipped now and no one is going to help us transition with there capital ,many countries have now restarted coal mines due to the war in Ukraine

Once Julius behaves like this, just know that what ever the government is doing is correct.

Australia’s liberal Angus Taylor emissions reduction minister has more or less the same idea

......🤌

Flip flopping again... or maybe he wants more bribe money from the $8,5 billion so he can shut up

What plans does he put forward besides stopping the plans of others?

Shame

I'm now considering becoming a member.. he's spot on with this one..

The mission of the current administration is to destroy Eskom and empower IPP and they succeeding fast with the help of a standby and useless majority. The chair of Eskom made it clear in DAVOS that what's happening with Eskom is great because we are killing its monopoly.

And who wants to listen to this thief addict!

The handlers mandate is executed, no one can stop it, this is too big for a political party it involves foreign countries

The collapsing is happening from inside Eskom itself.

I have lost so much through investing because I don’t have much knowledge about how it works .I was at the verge of quitting till I was introduced to TrevorCarlson0 and my story changed,its worth a try using the platform he recommended ,a great mentor TrevorCarlson0
