Karpowership, the Turkish company seeking to supply 1,220 megawatts of power to South Africa, will get a decision on its application to proceed with the projects from the nation’s environment department by March 7.
The Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment confirmed the receipt of the application and the decision date. “South Africa is in the midst of an acute energy crisis,” Karpowership said on Friday in a response to questions. “The company is ready to help ease the heavy burden of South Africa’s energy crisis.”
_Business Let's try it maybe it will work Eskom is a problem
kabelodick _Business God help us... these POESte are busy killing South Africa
_Business Spend that money on infrastructure! This is a big mistake and we will pay dearly for it. I do not understand how they can only ook at short-term solutions and not long term. But again, it is not their money they wasting, it ia ours.
JvanLogg _Business This is Gwede’s dream coming true. He has always wanted it for his own agenda. Certainly, 20 years of Karpowerships will not be our salvation but some very familiar names will get very rich at our expense - by this I mean SAn citizens who will pay the R200bn or more.
_Business It's a pity some commenting against KarpowershipSA are not even in South Africa suffering with the rest of us who can't afford to get solar panels at our homes or small businesses. Privilege and access makes you campaign against a solution for others.
_Business NO! We must resist
_Business And I wonder what that decision will be. Let me guess…yes! Looks like the energy crisis was orchestrated to force SA into this and probably other unaffordable solutions. And who will pay for the financial crises caused by this? SA citizens. Not politicians, citizens.
_Business And I heard there is a minister's wife involved in this chain. 🤔🤔
_Business Here we go again. They will be blocked... again!
_Business Well well - we know who is behind this (knee deep). The same persons who created the downfall (via corruption) of Eskom has now “killed the chicken which laid the golden egg”. So a new opportunity is now in the making. When will the voters realise they are SCAMMED by promises !
_Business Then it’s back to the courts again. With intelligent society vs corrupt stupid politicians. Lawyers love this - getting wealthy due to clients idiocy.
_Business Ffs!!! Just use the coastal winds to generate power already !!! What is so hard to understand Useless people run this country.
_Business Karpowerships will lead to more misery and electricity increases for citizens. Where are the money going to come from as there is currently a problem to buy diesel? Not a viable option at all.
_Business Real headline: who has Karpowerships paid off this time?
_Business What is real democracy. Is it one man one vote. Or is that mob rule. Should democracy not be on a percentage ratio.
_Business And now we know one of the reasons we are in the mess we in… buckle SA and then we will sign the deal…
_Business I hope the Karpowership asks for payment upfront or else they are unlikely to receive payment.
_Business Europe is secretly in the process of hoarding all power ships and barges for itself as it did with vaccines during the pandemic. The worsening energy crisis in Europe has totally changed the game. This 1,220 MW power for SA will certainly plug a hole 🕳️ in our own energy crisis.
_Business Gwede fills his pockets again this time for 20 years
_Business Just another vehicle to steal. I’m sure the many layers of kickbacks are being negotiated
_Business But it's going to take over a year for these electricity taxi's to be of any use. They will ease less than 2 loadshedding levels. They cost a fortune spread over two decades, wont create long term infrastructure solutuons and are potential environmental disasters?
_Business Why wait so long ?
_Business Feels so wrong, process needs to be audited.
_Business We have eskom that even supplies foreign neighbouring countries.The money spent on this companies could be simply spent on making eskom with well with coal.This theory of saving the world even though science proved that the world will end is just a scam to enrich certain people
_Business WHATEVER HAPPENS. BOYCOTT IT. ANY SUPPLIER MUST RUN BOOKS ONLINE VISIBLE TO THE PUBLIC WEEKLY. ALL ACTIVITY LOGGED WEEKLY.
_Business BrianMbm1 what is this mtase? What does it mean koko_matshela?
_Business This deal will have government officials’ fingerprints all over it… It was to facilitate this deal that we’ve had level 6 load shedding.
_Business ? where would it go JHB by rail never happen
_Business This thing will cost 200 billion for the 20 years and South Africa will not have any infrastructure after that period
_Business People are losing their jobs and livelihoods but here we are discussing the environment
_Business ANC had ground the nation into capitulation on this disaster of an idea.
_Business i will always be thankful to God for giving me a reliable source no more lost,. through Brandonkaren11 Bitcoin mining investment platform
_Business March 7. Like SLOW motion like everything else here … sludgy!!
_Business Haaa Mr President keep selling....slavery coming back soon
