Once Eskom_SA gets diesel, they will then tell us another substation goes down. Then GwedeMantashe1 will tell us he bought another propeller to add 200mw. All the while another R5 billion lost by the MYANC ...

Hard to believe that there is only one ship with diesel coming in for the whole of SA and that ship is for eskom coz they can’t source it from anywhere else 🤔 Next week it will be wet coal and the week after another excuse

😂 😂

Once replenished it won't be long before 'regrettably higher stages need to be implemented as we have to replenish our reserves which has been used extensively' appears again on Twitter. Never ending story!!

This is their last chance to loot. they know Ramaphosa is not coming back.
