  • Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan has told parliament that
    Eskom has spent a cumulative R65 billion on diesel over the last five
    years. Eskom has been using diesel as it fights to keep the lights on
    to minimise load shedding. Energy analyst Clyde Mallinson weighs in.

    Fuel price in Angola is R 4.60 per liter after 48 percent hike, South Africa at almost R 24.00 per litre! We are paying for the diesel used by ESKOM, nevermind the loss of electronic and house hold items because of over and under voltage problems. Generators are meant for emergency only, not sustainable!

      That's actually the effect of this capitalism animal you so love and defend. It's not corruption or anything of the sort.

    30 years of Democracy and what have we to show for it. If we had reliable electricity, maybe we could shed some light on it. But never mind, isn't this continent called "Darkest Africa" and we are just living up to that Moniker, at least in South Africa.

    Yes a lot of businesses have shut down so that by itself has helped and mines have shut down, so there is nothing to be proud of .

    Congratulations to the diesel suppliers.
    An investigation should be made into Ghordans links to the diesel cartel.

    More businesses have closed the past 12 month's/more solar and alternative means to keep residential lights on. They burning diesel like crazy to keep the lights on. The coal fleet is tired (exhausted) - cannot be sustainable and its operating at 58% i think?
