ANC Using #Covid19SA to Justify Plans to “Discipline Private Sector”, Nationalise Pensions & Plunder Central Bank Reserves in “Radical Transformation”!

Posted on June 8, 2020 Leave a comment

THE STATE CAPTURE TO END ALL CAPTURES: True to their word, the ANC’s Ramaphosa and Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma (NDZ) are using the extended CCP-virus lockdown, as a cover to propose changes to the Pension law in order to grab pensions for massive redistribution of wealth, and tender fraud on a scale never seen before! Né Cyril? We should have known. The ANC is coming for your pensions with it’s promised radical transformation, turning the country into a fully communist, totalitarian and fascist black supremacist hellhole. In short they are throwing more wood under the pot in which they are slowly boiling the white minority frogs. Lots and lots of wood.

A new concept document by the ANC’s head of economic transformation, Enoch Godongwana, states that the ANC wants to use pension money and the reserves of the Reserve Bank, to build a so called “open economy” post CCP-virus pandemic. Open for looting yes! The concept document was subm

Greedy Ramaphosa Wants More From His & ANC’s Personal BEE Cash Cow, Eskom – He Finally Admits Medupi & Kusile Are Unreliable (Have Been Bled Dry) Even As The Blame Game Rages On…

Posted on January 10, 2020 Leave a comment

Planning to fail: Having pocketed millions, if not billions, by plundering Eskom in all sorts of ways through a variety of tender companies and who knows what else, it seems Cyril and The ANC have finally realised the Medupi & Kusile projects have bled dry, and are now looking for new ways to employ (steal) taxpayers money, to continue bleeding them dry… yet another new huge expensive project with new tenders, contracts, bribes & kickbacks. It is the same all over South Africa, build a new school, extort tenders, contracts, bribes & kickbacks. Then burn it down and steal more from the taxpayer by building another school with more tenders, contracts, bribes and kickbacks. The African Way.

Medupi and Kusile power stations are still “off the grid” due to poor construction work, corruption and cost overruns

Posted on August 26, 2019 Leave a comment

More than 600 senior officials from Eskom and some executives were informed of the entity’s “turnaround” plan. According to documentation, Eskom is sitting without cash and has almost completely collapsed on several occasions.

R130bn has been loaned to the power provider and the state is expected to help as government announces increased tariffs. Eskom unbundling continues but will take four years to finalize. So the future is still bleak around the entity with its overloaded workforce and top structure officials.

In the last two years, Eskom reported a loss of R2.3 billion while R19.6 billion was wasted on unauthorized expenses.

In the meantime, Medupi and Kusile power stations are still “off the grid” due to poor construction work, corruption and cost overruns.

ESKOM gives a US company a blank cheque, and they are cashing it in for a whooping R13bn

Posted on March 11, 2019 Leave a comment

The US company that designed the extremely flawed Kusile Power Station in Mpumalanga was given a blank cheque by Eskom, which it cashed in to score R12 billion.

Despite the fact that the engineering consulting firm Black & Veatch, which is situated in Kansas in the US, delivered shoddy work that continues to hobble Kusile’s performance, two senior Eskom executives told City Press last week that the company is still being paid hundreds of millions of rands.

The Special Investigating Unit (SIU) has launched an investigation into irregularities around the construction of the Kusile, Medupi and Ingula power stations, which cost a combined R342 billion.

A senior law enforcement official told City Press: “The second phase of the SIU’s investigation is looking at the performance of, and payments made to the value of more than R139 billion, 11 identified contractors appointed by Eskom in respect of [the] power stations”.

During the ANC regime, roughly R500 billion has been looted by Eskom contractors, which partly explains why South Africa is in such a big financial mess – it is unsure if the culprits will be brought to justice

Posted on February 25, 2019 Leave a comment

A Special Investigation Unit is currently investigation more than eleven contractors whom are suspected of robbing the power utility of billions of rand.

The contractors looted R130 billion from Eskom during the construction of the two new power stations, Medupi and Kusile as well as the Ingula power station.

From the so-called “inner circles” it is claimed that plundering at Eskom has been taken place since 2005, which partly explains why South Africa has ended up in a financial mess.

A spokesman said Eskom had been robbed of R170bn, of which R130bn was directly related to so-called contractors working at the different power plants.

Investigation is now being done to determine who has committed theft, and who worked within Eskom to benefit the thieves.

Numsa wants Gordhan’s head over extraordinarily high escalation costs at new failed power stations – according to Gordhan, power stations are “poorly designed and poorly erected”

Posted on February 22, 2019 Leave a comment

Trade union Numsa demanded that the Minister of Public Enterprises, Pravin Gordhan, be dismissed for the extraordinarily high escalation costs at the Medupi and Kusile power stations.

The construction cost has doubled to almost R292 billion and both power stations are described as “poorly designed and poorly constructed” by Gordhan.

Earlier, it was confirmed that the two power stations did not meet the requirements, and billions of rand would have to be used to rectify the errors.

Medupi units drowning in ash as contractor forced to withdraw – Shows Eskom’s failure to operate the plant at the completed units properly – Just one more accomplishment of the ANC- regime

Posted on February 13, 2019 Leave a comment

The five power generation units at Eskom’s troubled new Medupi power station that have been operational are drowning in ash after Clyde Bergemann Africa (CBZ), which was contracted to supply and construct the dust handling units, withdrew its staff from the power station.

CBZ managing director Jeremy Kirsch confirmed to Moneyweb on Monday that the business was placed in business rescue last week, days after he spoke out about what he described as Eskom’s failure to operate the plant at the completed units properly.

CBZ has long-term maintenance contracts on eight other Eskom power stations, Kirsch told Moneyweb. CBZ staff are still on site at those power stations, he said.

EE Publishers managing editor Chris Yelland however reported last week that these workers are “on tenterhooks” and could down tools at any time.

As far as Moneyweb could establish at least four of the five operational units at Medupi were working on Monday, alth

This is what happens when BEE contractors are prefer over skilled labour!: Medupi and Kusile- The two new coal-fired power stations’ “error” repair costs already amount to R2 billion.

Posted on February 6, 2019 Leave a comment

According to observers, the repair costs of errors at the Medupi and Kusile coal-powered power stations are already nearing R2 billion.

This puts the expected start up costs at R292 billion, which is twice the initial estimated cost. The device that grinds the coal, the furnaces and other systems at both plants does not function properly and is attributed to poor craftsmanship.

The two plants were erected by people who had never undertaken such an assembly project, and took it much longer to complete than initially calculated.
