Earlier return to service of Medupi unit 4; Transnet’s turnaround plan is more of taxpayers’ money; fiscal crisis and austerity measures serve as a cover-up; and Eskom warns communities of consequences of illegal connections.
Electricity generation in the country will receive a significant boost next year with the earlier-than-expected return to service of Medupi unit 4. Minister of Electricity Kgosientsho Ramokgopa said an interim solution had been found to expedite the return to service of Medupi Unit 4 by April next year instead of August, adding another 800MW of baseload to the grid ahead of winter.
“The government has failed to address the underlying causes for revenue shortfalls and the wastage of government expenditures – reinforcing, supporting, and accepting corruption in the state,” he said. [Eskom has warned communities that have benefited from the installation of new transformers in Gauteng that if illegal connections cause its devices to fail, chances of the power utility replacing the device will be slim.
