'No magic formula to solve power crisis' - Gordhan | Fin24

Gordhan was briefing the media on Tuesday, along with senior Eskom officials as the country entered its fifth consecutive day of Stage Two to Stage Four load shedding.“At this point in time, we are still getting a better grasp of the technical problems,” Gordhan said.

He said investigations are underway by the technical review task team and independent engineers on a voluntary basis and cannot comment yet when load shedding will be over. Gordhan promised another update about the power system, once they have a better grasp of the system in the next 10-14 days. “It’s going to be a huge struggle to overcome this crisis. We want to give the public as much information as we can so that all of us have very similar pieces of information,” Gordhan said.

He admitted that government had not communicated “adequately” with the public and promised to do better in this regard in the days ahead.

Fin24 Duh. Go figure...almost 2 decades of no magic bullet.

Fin24 Mr Gordhan this country doesn’t want a magic formula this country wants the facts - so what is your master plan going forward? Urgently attend to why these power plants are tripping, assist Escom by buying more diesel & spend on infrastructure growth. SA is ailing. Is it terminal

Fin24 There is, they are called Wind Farms....

Fin24 Disagreed. There is a magic formula. It is very simple and the recipe is as follows: 1x Ballot paper, 1x black pen. Next complete the ballot paper by using the pen to make an 'X' next to any other party name on the ballot paper, making sure ANC is left blank. Bon Appetit

Fin24 But there is a magic formula to rid SA of the ANC.

Fin24 You should have let Zuma build that nuclear power plant

Fin24 It's not about formulas but competence. Koko and Brian are more than competent. So do the honourable thing and accept that you have failed.

Fin24 This saint Gordan is useless about Eskom

Fin24 You gave your handlers tenders at power stations and all they did was poor work

Eskom's 'perfect storm' and how the power utility is managing the crisisSouth Africa has been oscillating between Stage 2 and Stage 4 load shedding since Friday. From storm damage to a diesel shortage, Fin24 spoke to acting head of generation, Andrew Etzinger, about the extremely constrained power system. Fin24 Headline correction: Eskom's 'perfect storm' and how the power utility is NOT managing the crisis. Fin24 'Hello darkness my old friend,' should be Eskom's tagline. Fin24 How many Perfect Storms are we going to have?! There seems to be a total lack of planning or preparation. Mismanagement by crisis is the order of the day! Years ago Eskom was a well funded progressive company with huge cash reserves. Just commit to it and sort it out!!!
