"If someone can supply 500 to 1000MW, which is at the right price in our current environment where we are short of megawatts? We must take it if the commercial terms are right."Mente asks why Gordhan didn't intervene when De Ruyter did not want to submit his financials as part of the SSA's vetting process.
