: I did a calculation a year ago, and you can hear I get passionate about this. I did a calculation a year ago when they announced the results of the so-called Risk Mitigation Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme and we are looking at amounts over the 20 years of some R200bn. It depends on the gas price because most of the actual tariff that will, in fact, be paid will depend on the gas price because these ships basically turn gas into electricity.

If we signed the deal then and had those Karpowerships connected, we would have been obliged to be paying five times the tariff we thought that they’d won the contract on. So ja, it’s complicated but this contract really needs to be much more transparent. We need to see the numbers.: The sense, Hilton Trollip, that we’re getting at the moment is there is a Hail Mary strategy from government.
