“Eskom has connected a capacity of 45 000 megawatts, it hardly works at 30 000 megawatts and that gap is quite important. When they talk of 6 000 megawatts shortage, I always wonder if there is a 15 000 gap between connected capacity and operational capacity, there is a need for supplementary to add volume into the grid,” says Mantashe.

Sir drink alot.

Minister Pravin Gordhan says 'There has been a DRAMATIC IMPROVEMENT in Eskom_SA PERFORMANCE' That's like saying 'Our ship's captain's performance has DRAMATICALLY IMPROVED, he had 10 accidents this week, and only sank 8 ships'

Minister Gwede’s outright incompetence is part of the problem.

I was scammed through Bitcoin couple of months ago, I started hating Bitcoin until I was introduced to Allison_Grillo, and I gave Bitcoin trading another try, I successfully withdrew $35,000 after two weeks of trading, am so grateful Allison_Grillo thank you.

As a mother of two kids I have battled alot with my financial state to the point of begging from friends just to survive,until I started Bitcoin trading with the help of Allison_Grillo I made a successful withdrawal of R 200,000 with the help of Allison_Grillo.

Wow has he only just woken from his slumber. How on earth can we progress as a nation with a minister of his calibre? This has been a problem for more than 10 years. I suppose he doesn’t experience blackouts?

Wow What amazing foresight

No shit Sherlock 🙈🤡
