Johannesburg - Greenpeace Africa slammed former president Jacob Zuma’s claims that the country would not be facing a load-shedding crisis had it gone ahead with his R1 trillion nuclear deal.
“Nuclear power is clearly too expensive - especially in the face of Eskom’s debt of more than R400billion - but more than that, nuclear power stations take over a decade to build. There is no chance whatsoever that going ahead with the nuclear deal would have helped South Africa avoid load shedding in 2019.
President Cyril Ramaphosa has maintained that it was not an apt time for nuclear plans because of the country’s ailing economy. He said his administration was investigating claims of deliberate sabotage amid the rolling blackouts.
But it’s true & I don’t know why people r catching feelings 🤷🏿♂️
Really, he keeps on showing the world why the ANC Should not be in leadership positions
Your are still living in cuckoo land
I hate this useless and parasite Greenpeace , too opportunistic
Ubaba saw the opportunity and spoke? Where is the evidence such as the DCF comparison for starters?
Leave him alone please. He is desperate.
Listen ... Listen ... One Thousand, Hundred, Trillion, Million ... wait ... wait ... listen ... One, One Thousand Million, One, Hundred and forty.
Why spend trillion on nuclear not millions in improving capacity of eskom & how long does it take to build nuclear station Suppose a week according to his mental capacity If I was him I would rather say if I had stopped looting of eskom we will be having uninterrupted electricity
This is a man who can't even string along numbers.... Just saying
Greenpeace who?
