Decolonised Zimbabwe Begging Neighbours for Electricity to Stop Daily 12 Hour Blackouts!

Posted on Leave a comment

Like in South Africa, where the simple maintenance and upkeep of a fully functioning infrastructure seems to be a challenge to African regimes, Zimbabwe who was once a powerhouse in Southern Africa, has been reduced to asking its neighbours to commission new power plants to supply Zimbabwe, as it seems it cannot even commission its own power plants anymore.

The current electricity cuts were allegedly because of rehabilitation work at the Kariba South hydropower plant, constraints at its coal-fired Hwange plant and limited power imports (from struggling SA?), according to the Zimbabwe Electricity Supply Authority.

Medupi Power Station Rocked by Explosive Failure Again! Impact on National Grid Unknown as Deployed Cadres Scratch Their Heads…

Posted on Leave a comment

It seems that the implementation of cadre deployment and BBBEE practices are still taking their toll on the embattled national power provider. Eskom confirmed on Monday that the Medupi power station had an explosion on the number 4 unit’s generator, at around 22:50 on Sunday night, and that unit 5 also tripped as a result.

No injuries were reported at the plant and all employees and contractors were accounted for, but emergency services did assist seven workers with the necessary treatment for shock.

Eskom Suddenly Implements Phase 2 Rolling Blackouts, Because You Never Know When Unmaintained Machinery will Fail!

Posted on Leave a comment

As a result of decades worth of BBBEE, systemic corruption, wholesale plunder, bad management and lack of maintenance, the consumer is once paying the price, as Eskom has had to suddenly start load shedding again, as of Sunday, when they introduced it with phase 2, to supposedly last until Tuesday night, if everything goes according to plan.

Once again an inanimate object was blamed, this time it’s apparently the Tutuka station which had to have repairs to three generating units that failed, and another unit at the Majuba power station also failed, causing it to be stopped for repairs. As a result there is about 6,000 MW  lost over 24 hours, the spokesman from the embattled, bankrupt, national power supplier, Eskom, said.

This is once again a case of unexpected breakage that caused them to be unable to deliver the required power demand, requiring blackouts. However, as some of us know, if you do not maintain something, there is indeed no warning as to when it wi

ANC’s failed Medupi not only poorly erected, but also poses great dangers to man, animal and environment due to toxic gases released

Posted on Leave a comment

The Madupi power plant approved by the ANC regime to be erected is not only an economic disaster, but also poses the danger of harming human lives.

The power plant is not only poorly erected but took years to be finalized and still cannot deliver its full capacity.

Madupi was constructed differently from the conventional power plants, and is described as the “new dry-cooled” coal power station.

When the power station is complete and at full capacity, it will be the world’s largest “dry-cooled” power station.

Economists and environmental experts have already warned that doing 2020 off the country’s biggest coal power plant could lead to serious financial as well as climate disasters still seen in SA.

Experts say Madupi will become one of the country’s biggest dangers to people and the environment with its poisonous gases being emitted, and will also be the largest entity in terms of air and environmental pollution that will endanger thousands of peopl

Click here to watch the cause of Eskom’s Loadshedding

This is silo 1 at Kusile power station. They have just overfilled the bunker& flooded the top floor with coal. This will cause the boilers to shut down. These clowns are just so dumb. They cannot let the system run automatically & have to try running manually, This is the result that caused a shutdown.

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 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
