Opening of Parliament | Priorities for the Dept. of Electricity and Energy: Dr Kgosientsho Ramokgopa

Yesterday, on the day of this event we didn't have water from the day before and then we got a message at 15:30 that we will get load reduction from 17:00 to 22:00 and it happened in City of Tshwane, Mabopane. Right now as I watch this video it's 03:54am and even my Vumatel fibre internet is not working, I am paying R400pm for 20Mbps/10Mpbs but guess what I am getting less than 1Mpbs. This video is even buffering while streaming at 360p when people are sleeping, so in SA whether it's public or private, nothing works as it was intended... we are just settling for what we are given, how sad.

Load reduction is the same as loadshedding. It seems that loadshedding was engineered because there was no payment for distribution infrastructure. Now that there is no loadshedding, there must be load reduction and high tariff increases. I do mot understand this clever grand ploy around electricity distribution. For with these high tariffs. This will cause all sorts of problems including fuelling inflation.

What are you going to do with the people that bridge electricity?

Now the tune is changing. Who did not know that there is a liad factor with renewables. The Minister is only knowing or acceding that this is a factor with renewables only now? How much cost factor did the renewables contribute in the electricity cost structure if energy distribution?
