Ignorance is bliss!

Maybe there is truth to it. Clearly there is no better idea or we would not be sitting in this situation.

Even if the deal went through, one sure as hell doesn't build a nuclear power station in a year. And given the recent new builds capacity for generating electricity, it probably wouldn't have worked anyway

Nuclear is way too dangerous and because of that, it is expensive to maintain... Let's go with renewable energy instead

It is unrealistic comment from the Former President to talk about Nuclear deal / how long the plant is gona take to be built / compared mess he made / he is not even aware that he saying invites the commission to call him to clarify certain matters about reshuffle of minister,

ET speeks again Some take him home

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

he refuted claims that he ever had talks with Russians over nuclear power, should be arrested for lying under oath

When is he getting arrested for his crimes lo?

Per year IPPs will cost eskom R 34,675,000,000.

You love the old man; go on, admit it!

😂🤣😂🤣 Someone please tell Zapiro and Trevor that JZ is alive and well! 😝

Naturally gifted

He never said he is an EXPERT OF ANYTHING but he is only telling the nation what he believes could be a solution.keep making funny of UBABA
