Mboweni said on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum meeting in Davos, Switzerland, on Friday, that the government needed to “honestly think” about nuclear power in order for Eskom to meet the country’s energy demands.
The South African economy has been stymied by prolonged power cuts as Eskom’s ageing coal-fired power plants experience frequent breakdowns.
Wow
Ever heard of Chernobyl? Will take 10,000 years to recover. 😳
Nxamalala for President
So PresJGZuma was right all along. And you guys CyrilRamaphosa tito_mboweni claim to be more knowledgeable, more educated than him? Please respect us.
Now everyone is quiet,when Zuma was talking about hey wena it was like heaven was falling
Asiyfuni inuclear. Kunjani manje?
IOL - the mouthpiece of the corrupt fight back campaign.
But when Zuma wanted to introduce it, they politically grand stood and said a lot of negative things. The very same people who criticized the idea want to implement it. Who's fooling
Things change immediately, yesterday it was said nuclear power was not good for South Africa
But these guys were demonizing PresJGZuma when he was talking about nuclear power BloodyHypocrites
😂😂😂😂. Can’t run a paraffin stove. Wants to add nuclear. Right!
Now that this is said by the Ramaphosa faction, the media will keep mum.
uBaBa is 20 ahead in politics
Puppet
I thought it's expensive and we have enough power, what has changed?
Do they have the money now?
I remember Juju saying we need nuclear but not of Jacob Zuma 😂😂😂
Hhhhee bannna mr PresJGZuma was correct mos, you tito_mboweni you are always behind. PresJGZuma must just come back and finish what he was busy doing
Can't even get Madupi & Kusile finished😒 Project is 7 years late & billions over budget yet here we are talking about a nuclear plant. 🙄 Cadres will comprise on the core project elements(time,cost,quality, scope) Not long after that thing is built the country will go kaboom
Just a quick thought....is all this trouble at Eskom not just an elaborate plan to get us back to the Russian nuclear plant? AskingForAFriend
How has this nuclear suddenly become 'affordable ' ? He he he Thixo waseGorg Goch
I think Tito Mboweni is the most contradictory minister SA has ever seen,but Noone is calling him out!
So now we can afford, jiki jiki
I'm curious who is going to fund this disaster. tito_mboweni you have a card up your sleeve? No one wants to touch South Africa. It's a bad risk, it has bad policies, it has fraudsters in the cabinet, not one person has been prosecuted for any state capture crime. Forget nuclear
it will be ready after 85 years
Flip flippers
Finally some sense is prevailing tito_mboweni - nuclear most clean and efficient form of energy provided nuclear build is hands off from government
If SA can just sacrifice for a year and build the power station or major budget cuts for years. Ratings are messed up anyway. There will be big fruit after.
Proving Jacob Zuma absolutely correct
Let's agree, PressJGZuma was forever ahead of SA clever blacks serious. In essence should we had allowed him to start with Nuclear, we would be having 5 years now busy building Nuclear Power Plants... anyway SA people deserve this loadshedding because of their stupidity
So JZ was right on this kkk some things are becoming a joke I tell you
Isn't that what Zuma was advocating for?
With just one nuclear power station we can then challenger the US and China economies
HOLA BOSSA Tito,, HOLA hola,FIRST KNOWN OF THE HY-DROMÉ SOLUTION, this can gen ENERGY WITHOUT USING FOSSIL FUELS SOLAR WIND HYDRO AND NUCLEAR,this can gen jobs for 560000 jobless people NOW,and 10,000MW IN 6 mths,LEAVE YOUR THOUGHTS OF NUCLEAR IN DAVOS,so NOW you know,CONTACT me
Can't even get Medupi and the twin shambles of a sister completed. But hey. Let's go nuclear. Pu-tin waiting in the wings
Isn't was said that it was too expensive
What does this buffoon know about nuclear power? Remember it was National Treasury which was against Zuma’ plans to build 8 nuclear reactors under the pretext the State couldn’t afford them financially. The Russians were going to underwrite the cost of building these rectors.
HY-DROME ENERGY IS The CHEAPESTSAFEST CLEANESTMOST EFFECTIVE ENERGY IN THEWORLD. You want to go Nuclear Mr Mboweni? Then be prepared to blow up South-Africa cause all it takes is one minstake
Our current cost for Energy are as follows: A) Wind R13 million.Per MW B) SolarR134 million per MW C) Ingula Diverted Hydro\rR26 million per MW D) Hydro(dams)R54 million per MW E) Nu-clear energy\rR1,8 billion per MW F) HY~DROMÉ Energy R5 million per MW
God can you imagine the incompetent cANCer running nuclear stations, perhaps build the first one in Soweto so it can experience another Chernobyl.
Yet Soweto and all informal settlements continue to enjoy free and stolen electricity. This country is fu*ked beyond repair!
We must agree Zuma has alwys been ahead.
tito_mboweni CyrilRamaphosa you cannot build some simple coal power stations...how do you think you will build nuclear power stations. Remove the Hitachi boilers and take the pain now, we know you won't remove the cadres
Ungenaphi Lomjitha kanti? Isn’t that Pravin and mantashe’s work
Tito, you cannot go against the ANC NDR. This was proved with SAA now. So what ever you say should be pinched with salt. Hope that CR is lenient with your farm when the time comes to steal it from your family for zero money.
It will take 10 years and a bucket load of money SA doesn't have.
I still don’t understand those who are against nuclear energy. They are not convincing.
Now it all makes sense, this is what they’ve been trying to get to all along, in the name of load shedding.
Tito is a hypocrite, le yena le Pravin, I guess they had a problem with zuma and Russians not nuclear power, I’m sure they already have in mind who they want to build it
Where does the money come from?
With whose money?
How about finishing those coal power stations first? Besides, if it takes 12 years to build a coal power station for you lot how long will it take to build a nuclear one?
And there you have it folks.
These idiots renewable energy is much cheaper and cleaner and there will be more job creation in this sector
Want to know what else will assist the grid? Not voting ANC!
So what happened to the noisy about Nuclear not being affordable? Didnt Lord Pravin Gordhan and his sidekick, Nhlanhla Nene, said Zuma is pushing thru a nuclear thing which the nation will never afford in a million of years
Wayetheni u Zuma kanti? Wayikhuluma lendaba ye nuclear nathi uthengisa izwe kuma Russia 😏
