As South Africa remains in the grips of Stage 6 load shedding - with large electricity tariff hikes also now on the cards - minister Gwede Mantashe claims the power crisis can be tackled within just six to 12 months. | News24_Business

.

"Eskom must do introspection: do we have the capacity to deal with the crisis? If not can we go out and look for that capacity… it will take us six to 12 months to solve this issue if we pay attention to that," the minister of Mineral Resources an Energy said in an interview withMantashe's comments come just as the ANC, at its 55th National Conference, resolved to move certain state-owned entities back into their relevant portfolios.

"And if there was a focus on servicing and maintaining those megawatts, we wouldn't have load shedding."

_Business Yeah, we want to see you before we believe your lies. 😑

_Business This can be resolved immediately by Reviewing all NERSA Contracts by an Sec 34 of the Constitution Independent Tribunal, of which was formed already on the first of December 2013, and place NERSA, ESKOM and all contract holders under administration (Act 3 of 2000)

_Business How long have you had to tackle this problem? And did nothing😡

_Business The individual that needs to be on their 'early retirement'😳

_Business Son what have you been doing for the last 10 years.? Hmm....? 🤣🤣🤣

_Business More like 6 to 12 years ja

_Business 🙆‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️🕵️🤔but how, let the it be fixed, even 1hr that's too much 😭since last week Friday 16:00pm until today no⚡🌚🌃

_Business Kwodwa loMkhulu he must just stay at home like his peers and give other experienced people to resolve this crisis we are facing

_Business 😂

_Business 'Just'!?

_Business Bs

_Business But Zumbug appointed Rama-supposa in Parliament in 2015 to oversee it and we were promised no more load-shedding by Butternut. So, what went wrong?

_Business Maybe if they got rid of him !

_Business I'm sure he has a denture front bottom with 4 teeth. No wonder he spits when he talks.

_Business He speaks twak

_Business

_Business And so he says

_Business Solution to the energy crisis is a TAX REVOLT by South Africans, including small to big businesses in the financial, agricultural, manufacturing, and all other industries. Then we will see how they fast-track the energy plan!!! Our economy is dying, and citizens are suffering!!!

_Business This should have been sorted out 6 to 12 years ago.

_Business RemindMe_OfThis in a year

_Business But it won't take 6 to 12 months, this is the ANC we talking about. Money comes in, corruption, stealing, more corruption, new car for Cadre, new home for minister, Oops money gone, rinse and repeat every month, we have seen this year in and year out...

_Business I have no idea how he can say that 🤬

_Business Liars! Since 2008 they had ample chance to tackle loadshedding. They're looking for more ways to steal from the people of this country!

_Business PresidencyZA CyrilRamaphosa say goodbye to leading the country with this man involved .kiss mzanzi goodbye

_Business How long South Africans will enable to endure suffering prior Electricity? Indeed something has to be done otherwise... Thanks

_Business As if ppl hv 6 month to save their business

_Business Another lie

_Business this is not journalism but playing mouthpiece. Join the dots: this is an INTENTIONAL play by Gwede to force through his karpowerships to secure 20 years of extortion and patronage. Where has this incompetent minster been for 15 years?

_Business Hahahahahahahahahahahahsh

_Business So do it then - but he won’t be sorting it out . If he could he would’ve already. Corrupted !

_Business I agree with Gwede, the problem of Eskom is leadership

_Business He is smoking his socks

_Business If you believe this bs then you believe in faeries.. stop treating South Africans like manparas

_Business Should we be pissed that loadshedding been since 2015(actually was around 2008)but can be fixed in 6 to 12 months?Hopeful?Or despondent at the blatant continuous lies?If this is true why is it not being implemented RIGHT NOW even if only to start with stage reduction? More lies

_Business Government will never admit their massive BEE mistakes on SOE’s. Imagine if the billions of BEE taxes and levies were spent on growing the economy instead of window dressing… Prove me wrong

_Business 🤣🤣🤣 wonder if he thinks anyone respects or takes him seriously.

_Business pay more for less....crazy

_Business This is a load of nothing. Nobody can fix Eskom, it is too late. It is outdated, broken down, no skills to fix it and invested with criminals.

_Business And we expected to trust the powers that be.?

_Business So why only now?

_Business Definitely not under his watch oh I forgot his powerships 😡😂

_Business Always some future date proffered when this 16 year crisis will be resolved.

_Business If spewing this type of 'Bull Droppings' was electricity - this man would be a PowerStation!

_Business B.S

_Business If I could push a magic button that would make this useless piece of lard dissappear instantly I would do so without hesitation.

_Business And what is Pravin Gordhan saying?

_Business MXM ukhuluma ikaka

_Business Ou grapgat

_Business I don't think it's true I wonder what are they doing

SouthAfricansP1 _Business Haaibo, then why hasn't it been resolved

_Business He is clueless. As there is no accountability. They say what you like to hear now. If there is punishment for lies Than all will shut up.

_Business Why hasn't CyrilRamaphosa fired him as yet? He's just plain useless?

_Business Saying something and doing something this are 2 different things altogether!

_Business Gwede's solution to sort out load shedding is to bring in the Kar Powerships! Ensures future funding for the ANC and no doubt some fantastic finders fee's.

_Business 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

_Business If you speak less people will hear more conversely if you speak more people will hear hear less.

_Business You must just step out you and your unable crew🤞Just have that decency to admit defeat and leave

_Business Of course he is right he is only talking about the consignment of solar panels batteries and inverters for his corrupt anc buddies. They could only order with our money after their elective meeting where they decide whose chance is next to loot

_Business Yes power crisis can be tackled within just 6-12 months because that's when elections are scheduled. There won't be any loadshedding then because Eskom will provide us power using their generators

_Business Gwede is not an engineer- why hasn’t he fixed it? He needs to resign, he knows nothing about what he’s talking about … he probably calls an electrician to change his light bulb at home.

_Business The looter GwedeMantashe1 is talking kak again.

_Business More Bla Bla

_Business Oh wow! Really?!!! So what have they been doing for the past 6 to 12 months?

_Business What a joke!

_Business Why have they not done it if is so easy?

_Business After reading his quote…In essence…he’s saying FOKOL… Mampara of a 30 year ‘plan’ 🤡

_Business He's referring to the political power crisis - not the electrical energy one. Though the one is the cause of the other...

_Business What have you been smoking Gwede

_Business As long as the Anc is in power Eskom will never be fixed. There is to many Anc cadres profiting from Eskom's demice.

_Business You mean 12x10?

_Business Sir, as John Robbie once said to a minister in government 'don't treat us like idiots'. The same applies. 6 - 12 months under ANC rule = 😂😂😂

_Business It can be ..Karpowership just waiting for the call !

_Business if only they will allow power ships.

_Business Hear him 6months from now!!!!LOL

_Business Gwede mantashe always has empty promises

_Business Gwede going to join the sandf on the treadmill to generate power

_Business Guys next elections as a country we must vote ANC out!!!! Ozo votela anc kmele afe!!!

_Business Uncle GwedeMantashe1 share whatsoever you're smoking ! VoetsekANC

_Business Absolute rubbish. BUT very clever, because if he gives hope that he has a plan and only a few billion Rand/$ and some hard work can save us, he can keep the money flowing. Old skellem.

_Business Delusional.

_Business Is he saying he knows it's all been a case of pulling the wool over the voting fodder's eye?

_Business Ahh this one is thinking with his stomach😂🚮

_Business Sad day when government believes their own nonsense and are so arrogant and far removed from reality and believe they can continue to lie to South Africans. Focus on delivery and not useless words.

_Business

_Business MYANC so what the fuck have you been doing for the last decade and a half then..... Just stealing peacefully? Or more likely Gwede is talking big about things he knows nothing about...

_Business Delusional man

_Business Because he swallowed Bossa's cameras.

_Business Bullshit

_Business GwedeMantashe1 so let's give them until 13 Jan '24. If it's not working like it should, let's vote them out. We should take his word as a commitment to getting it fixed. 2024 general election is coming CyrilRamaphosa PresidencyZA Myanc byebyeANC voetsekanc

_Business Well why wasn’t this done before? Perhaps Eskom can be fixed, but not if Mantashe or the ANC are involved. He interested in self- and ANC enrichment - not fixing Eskom

_Business SSDD Same Shit, Different Day. When will we wake up to the bullshit!!!

_Business This country is enroute to being like Zimbabwe with the ANC at the wheel

_Business Election promises. The sad thing is - about half of South Africans believe this BS.

_Business Never!

_Business We load shed the entire 2022, that’s another year plus the 14 years we’ve experienced load shedding, he must just stop with the BS

_Business yes it will be avoided, we will have none

_Business Fokof🖕🏽

_Business I remember Lucas Mangope now 🤔

_Business Time is ticking for ANC .The mass is aware of your uselessness

_Business Yes, it can be done with end date moving as we go along....

_Business We've heard this lie already

_Business So I guess he won’t be blaming apartheid anymore now

_Business The dishonourable minister is living in his own little lala land. Six months is the middle of winter, when demand is even higher. The only way that this can be resolved in 6 months is if this crisis is artificially created and he can stop the people creating the crisis

_Business Whatever this man says, is not to be believed or trusted.

_Business What were they bloody waiting for all this time!😈😈😈14 years its going o n!

_Business A friendly reminder that every single day, Cyril Ramaphosa and his Ministers never have to experience loadshedding because they have generators at their homes paid for by you and me. It’s GOOD to be in government!

_Business Lying Gwede

_Business I'll believe Mantashe if he can bend down and touch his toes

_Business 😂👍🏻🖕🏻

_Business If I can get R10 for every time one of these clowns would solve the load shedding problem, I could have had solar by now

_Business Niyasibhedela

_Business What a joke

_Business i mean he's right it 'can' be, but it won't🤡

_Business Why showing Gwede instead of Pravin?

_Business What rubbish

_Business Really? Why didn't you start six months ago when the current increased bouts of loadshedding started back up again? Are you saying you are useless and didn't lift a finger? Cause that's the message I'm getting.

_Business 😂😂😂😂. Clown. How does he justify that this department reports to him and did “nothing “. Maybe a proper KPI should be done and if not met take action against him? Just a thought.

_Business Gweddy... GFC

_Business Is he miraculously going to come in with some dodgy deals

_Business Well it's time to show your hand Gwede, we wait with bated breath

_Business Yeah yeah Gwede

_Business Lesdudla lesi, close to sixteen twelve months ne, nihlulekile maan.. Dedelani abanye abavuthiwe ngengqondo bayenze.

_Business He's probably right. Many people are obsessed with renewables forgetting that you can't plan for them in darkness. Fix the generation currently online and slowly phase them out and adopt the green tech.

_Business We've been hearing that since 2015...and in another 8 years we'll be hearing the same story....

_Business Really never ever will it happen

_Business Bullshit..

_Business Watch no load shedding before elections then back to stage 10 crazy we must wake up and tell friends to vote a no vote does nothing u must vote then we will have change we can do it get the bully out of school

_Business 🤣🤣🤣

_Business Ass wipe supreme

_Business Put the money where your mouth is. The track record proves you wrong in so many ways GwedeMantashe1 PresidencyZA CyrilRamaphosa

_Business

_Business Maybe the fellow has a point Try and fail rather than not try at all?

_Business There is no such a thing

_Business

_Business Mantashe Mantashe Mantashe

_Business That’s what was said in 2015. Short term get nuclear boats here. Long term. Employ merit based and sort out each individual part. Otherwise he is talking rubbish.

_Business What's is he smoking now 😎

_Business The guys mouth is bigger than his stomach..because of his big mouth the country is heading for blackout..

_Business Gwede lost touch with reality years ago, not the sharpest tool in the shed. VoetsekANC

_Business Dis nog ñ kakstorie van die kommunis.

_Business Please resolve it, talk is cheap. Tell Gwede I can resolve it in 4 months

_Business TheTruthPanther if you have never visited Zimbabwe then welcome to Zimbabwe mate😂😂😂😂

_Business remindmeof_this in one year

_Business Liars...all of them... Vote them out

_Business Six to twelve decades?🤔

_Business Yes wiĺĺ say that because he has no clue what he is talking about.

_Business If you get the highest qualified people even if they are alien 👽

_Business Wtf does this clown know.

_Business O goodness Gwede... what are you smoking?

_Business I think DC comics just found the next Joker

_Business Joke of the year and it's just day 13 of 365 . 😂🙄

_Business You Should lay low on that Whiskey Old Man, it makes you see things that ain't there. GwedeMantashe1

_Business Great. Show us

_Business Do agree with him on this

_Business Stage 7, not 6. Get the true untold story straight. Fixed in 6 to 12 months by going coal generation again so he can line his pockets even more, solar they can't get pocket money that is why nothing is done to fix anything.

_Business He is a liar

_Business Mxmm, rubbish, stop it mantashe yaz nje

_Business Let me guess? Coal?

_Business 'I think I've seen this film before and I didn't like the ending'....how stupid do they think we are.

_Business Mantas has an ace up his sleeve. It’s those hazenile high efficiency energy reactors. I knew his “MBA” would eventually be useful.

_Business Blaah blaah blaah blaah................

_Business It's going to happen until 2030. They shouldn't lie to us

_Business Uzosha e ziheleni struu.

_Business Yet the ANC has been in power way b4 loadshedding started, needless to say we now on our 16th year of this rubbish, so, which 6-12months GwedeMantashe1 are you talking about?

_Business Ok and when things started spiralling last year he didnt raise his hand and propose this solution? Or were his hands also tied like impotent Ramaphosa?

_Business ATTENTION TO THOSE WHO REALLY CARE AND KNOW SITTING BACK WON'T CHANGE A THING:

_Business Thy makes me sick with their lies

_Business Further more you say Eskom must go out and look for the skills - it’s your government with BEE that chased the people away now you crying for them. Your politics is taking away value more than adding value- sabotage politics related - threats politics related so please

_Business I am not sure under what rock 🪨 you lived - you were well aware of the challenges at Eskom now you say proper maintenance what do you think De Ruyter then did? Why do you think they ask to contract in the engineers with the proper know how - how stupid do you think we are

_Business GwedeMantashe1 We'll check-in in July to ask how it's going.

_Business Of you read the article what he said makes sense... maybe with alignment of political will (I.e. no sabatague) things could come right

_Business

_Business No crisis in this country can be tackled while the ANC still presides over the state and its resources. Luthuli House should be a pile of rubble by now.

_Business 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

_Business He could be tackled in one day and LS would be over the next..

_Business Voetsek gwede

_Business Yes dream on. It won't be fixed at all. Broken beyond repair.

_Business Jaaaa, by way of a conveniently timed arrival of the Karpowership….

_Business MYANC GwedeMantashe1

_Business He is probably also going to eradicate poverty, hunger and unemployment in 8 to 12 months. What a go-getter he is!!!

_Business Press X for doubt!

_Business When are the people of South Africa going to rise up and say 'enough is enough'? Without protests, nothing will ever change since it's too easy for Eskom to implement loadshedding, without facing any consequences.

_Business Epiphany at last 😂😂

_Business Please pin this story so we can revisit in 6 months and all laugh together im darkness!!! GwedeMantashe1 MYANC Eskom_SA TuckerCarlson

_Business So what were they doing before this ? If it only takes 6-12 months loadshedding has been around years and yet it takes 6-12 months for it to be tackled. Your incompetence as a minister is there for SA to see. But the ANC just breed incompetent ministers it's endless

_Business Of course if he, Mantashe, is allowed to deploy Powerships to make good on his bribe. The he will stop sabotaging Eskom.

_Business If it can be tackled within 6 to 12 months when why the fuck are we still having loadshedding after 16 years ,go tell that kak to the people who believe all the shit that comes out your fucking mouth for fuck sakes🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

_Business He is talking KAK

_Business

_Business He has an MBA therefore knows all that’s needed to turn that useless SOE around. Or accuse people of literal treason. People are losing their jobs, businesses closing down and people leaving the country and we have more promises leading up to elections in 2024 😡😡😡

_Business His poes man.....then why isn't it sorted already.

_Business Yip by giving the company your wife has shares in a contract , we are wise to anc corruption

_Business What happened to the $8 billion Joe Biden gave to Cyril to stop using coal?

_Business Nonsense this thing could come to an end today if you really want to Mantashe

_Business This poes 🤣

_Business He means the tender for 200 billion for power ships 😎

_Business If all the grants are paid to the people by the anc, why do we need to pay taxes? They've got everything covered.

_Business

_Business Because you will be preparing for elections... ANC must go

_Business 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

_Business Is he sharing how this will be achieved? Wouldn’t involve powerships perhaps? He seems to favour those for some reason although that might be personal and not something he’d want to share.

_Business Gwede..... tweedle dee or tweedle ....?

_Business Dont understand a word he says anyway,probably said 'MISSTACKLED'

_Business Stop lying. You are a self-serving person.

_Business With the current government, and ppl incharge of the SOEs, that will never happen even in the next 100 yrs. All they will give us are false promises. Their JET ideas won't work also. The numbers, the science, and economic status of SA can't back it up.

_Business 👀

_Business We are longer a democratic country. We are firmly in a dicktatorship

_Business Translate box into Afrikaans 😂😂😂💩🧨

_Business Naive old man, what is the plan to resolve this mess within a space of a year? Is there even a proper diagnosis of what the problem is?

_Business There won't be an Eskom in 6 months and no cuntry in 12 at this rate

_Business Sounds almost like we've heard this story before.....wonder where....🤔

_Business Lick your lips...

_Business Eskom has increased the electricity tariff by over 700% passed 10 years but has not improved electricity delivery to those who pay.

_Business Well now we know the ETA of the karpowerships.

_Business With what inventory

_Business O please, they could not even do one thing right now they want to tackle this issue. Go back to sleep and pocket tax payers money, hand eskom over to a international company that actually has the brains to run energy on an efficient level

_Business By his Karpowerships?

_Business We can solve it immediately by firing these criminals.

_Business Time is a luxury this country does not have

_Business He can make any claims he wants, it’s meaningless. All the government does is talk anyway. I can claim I’m Santa Claus.

_Business Please excuse the sub70cretin. He is so far out of his depth with this. He doesn’t know a generation unit from a pot pap! He can’t fix jack! Al he can do is loot! He will now get powerships and Chinese to “help” and put 50% in his own pocket because: “I inherited this…”

_Business Stage 8 loading , 12 hours without electricity in a day it's loading and it will be a norm as long as u r still in power Mantashe

_Business Hou op praat papbek, do it...stop talking, do it!

_Business If your useless and incompetent Phala Phala friend can't do it since 2015, how are you going to do it?

_Business Aaaag kk, man

_Business 29 years later ....what do you have to show to your future generations ..but a legacy of destruction and roads names airport names.. fokall else

_Business OooDikela kodwa basenza abantwana ngoku, kunini sisinya loadshadding only to say now it's can be tackled within 6to12 months

_Business And maybe he'll start sounding unretarded soon

_Business 😂🤣😂🤣😂 its not april yet

_Business Oh wow ok so after only 15 years of making the same promises, now he's making new ones to be executed just at the time of elections

_Business o bua marete a gage o

_Business Honestly, him & co. can v🤬et$ek.

_Business

_Business Liar

_Business This article is not going to age well.....as usual talk by these muppets is cheap

_Business in 12 months there will be some other stupid excuse... tsek 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕 oh and news24 must fall

_Business How many years has it been Why wasn’t it tackled !!!! 😤😤😤😤 Le rata ho re kwatisa lona …

_Business Moving the goal posts again.

_Business I wonder how many times the ANC have told us that loadshedding will be a thing of the past? I remember Zuma doing, I remember Ramaphosa doing it and here we are.

_Business And the winner is...........Karpowerships

_Business

_Business Mxm

_Business This dom poephol must resign seriously he always has a face of not knowing what’s going on.

_Business How the fuck will he managed that with the same resources as de Reyter? Let see next year this time …

_Business I doubt it. What about the past 16 years of load shedding ?

_Business His poes

_Business The comment from this corrupt, thieving piece of rubbish shows me that he is complicit in this crisis and was instrumental in the sabotage and theft at the power stations. In doing so forced de Ruyter to resign, who knew that GwedeMantashe1 was behind it all

_Business Why did it get to this stage…?🆘🆘🆘🥵🥵🥵

_Business They feel nothing for peoples livelihoods! Eskom is broken unfixable and the lies keep coming! GwedeMantashe1 CyrilRamaphosa we have no more faith in corrupt ministers! How much did NERSA get for that huge increase which we the paying tax payers will pay?

_Business Is it April fools already 🧐🧐

_Business Mantashe should manage his Organizations affairs at Luthuli House,he is not suitable for any government position he thrives on controversial issues.

_Business 🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥

_Business Amazing personality with great leadership qualities JamesAlderson0 I believed in his mentorship and success followed. A very reasonable amount that I can't even get from my current job, I guess someone might need his help as well. No better joy than making positive steps.

_Business 🤣🤣🤣🤣yeah right...
