Mineral resources & energy minister Gwede Mantashe said on Tuesday he would take steps to develop more electricity- generation capacity as the country buckled under unprecedented load-shedding.

Mantashe said he would also meet the National Energy Regulator of SA"to conclude on matters of concurrence so it can assist the ministry respond to the challenges".

The hope expressed in the statement that it was indeed possible to procure generation capacity in the next three to 12 months — such as from barge-mounted electricity plants called powerships — was not realistic, UCT professor Anton Eberhard said on Tuesday.

When the 'Looting and exploitation stops there won't be the necessity.'

The anc already tried that with Madupi and Kusile. How did that work out?

Did he say how

Get yourself a new jaw. This one lies too much.

This is not 'hazenile'.

😂😂😂😂day dreaming

Nilindele ntoni Kwezi minister, into eziyaziyo Yi sex nje nama slay queen.

Gwede is always thinking about his stomach he and previn are the most corrupt and incompetent ministers in Ramaphosa cabinet

This one is also useless to the core. He didn't read his contract let alone his job description

Here’s a thought, allow private companies to produce electricity and buy it from them. Or allow us to buy it from them. The ANC has proved once and for all that it is incapable of running business and must now hand the job to the professionals.

These dogs have a lot of bark but less bite 🙄🙄🙄🙄

What is the current installed capacity vs output, should we not, first, make sure that current installed capacity operates at a maximum, before we build more?

He must step aside

Don’t hold your breath, folks....

Kanti what has he been doing this whole time?🤨🤨🤨

Am sure the blurred line here with DPE are hectic
