Why South Africa has been free of load shedding - Dr Ebrahim Harvey weighs in

- Опубликовано: 10 апр 2024
- Today marks 14 consecutive days without load shedding.
Electricity Minister Kgosientsho Ramokgopa has attributed this to Eskom's ramped-up planned maintenance.
Political writer and researcher Dr Ebrahim Harvey says despite the improved load shedding situation over the past two weeks, the tentacles of corruption at Eskom over many years have sunk so deep - that it might never be completely overcome.
Dr Ebrahim Harvey joins this afternoon via Zoom.

No loadsheding because of the elections 😂😂😂
It's so obvious even the old grannies know this. ANC will pay for that stage 6 and the job losses.
Yes you are not mistaking... marketing scheme....
Bad Anchor. Short memory. She is very biased
They think we are barbarians, let's vote wisely and vote for MK
I think we should have elections every year, twice a year. No loadshedding, all the street lights replaced, water regularly, sidewalk tidy. I'm loving it.
ANC is playing with people's minds. How can loadsheding be suspended without any maintenance? It seems they deliberately switch the power off

Of course they do, sabotage is regularly carried out.
And they prob burning through huge amounts of diesel at the moment which we the taxpayers will pay for.
Its election year, immediately after the voting, back to load shedding.
Nothing improved. ANC want votes. Vote ANC out please
Loadsheding will be back after election. We are not fools. Vote ANC out please
I spent a fortune on off grid devices and now there's zero load shedding. One can't even rely on the anc for loadshedding.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
It'll come back after elections
Dont you'll be smiling as soon as it starts again, Eskom will start just after the elections
The interviewer needs to let Dr Harvey finish what he is saying.
She wants to achieve a specific pro-ANC, pro-Ramaphosa narrative
@@ohlangeni She failed.
Greed caused load shedding
Dr Harvey knows the political landscape better than most. Heed his words.
Stage 8 after elections 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
16 actually

This proof Eskom play games
They enrich private partners
Surburbs are in a mess with overgrown bushes, unkempt sodewalks, sink holes in the roads and potholes all over the show. ANC has no sense of maintenance for roads, parks, overgrown bushes on all over the show, no maintenance of water infrastructure etc, etc.
Everything in our suburb got fixed last week. Very quickly, grass cut , potholes filled
@@DWN649just because they want your votes next month
This lady is rude to interrupt while Dr. Harvey is speaking
He's long winded and doesn''t know when to stop talking. She has a time schedule to follow.
@@M-zg2sg He was not long winded at all. The entire video is not even 10 minutes long. I find the lack of attention span amongst people quite concerning. I blame the poor education system.
ANC EFF Zuma looters
Waiting for after elections
Is this lady perhaps a spokesperson for Eskom ? She seems very optimistic
Unfortunately, that’s the trump card for ANC
Lets fix South Africa VOTE ACTIONSA 💚💚
I Vote DA.They Had Fixed SA in Covid and now Rescue SA. Action SA is Is Stealing DA Words “FIX”
That will be voting for the DA.
The ANC think we are children , give us a sweet for us to keep quite. That's not gonna happened, we want ANC out or a righteous leader to rise up within the ANC, I doubt that will happen.
Dr. Ibrahim speaks the truth!
Was telling my mom yesterday that no loadsheding in such chilly weather .. while we had Stage 6 in summer ... it's definitely election year. We are cruising nicely! Lol
A few years ago we evaluated a new applicant, a electronic engineer, final year University of Pretoria. For a start he could not use a soldering iron, had next to no knowledge of the subject he studied for 4 years and to top it all off he could not operate our Russel Hobs Kettle to make himself a cup of coffee as he could not figure out how to open it to poor water in.
You can't lose 150000+ engineers, not replace them, and expect stable service delivery.
Actually they have been shutting off different areas for 15 to 24 hours so they are lying
Sounds like the media incl presenter tried to push a specific narative. Well done for DrHarvey for putting the record straight. Presenter did not expect that first few minutes of response, the tone of the interview nearly took a turn for the worse for the presenter and she had to backtrack a bit. Let's be real and honest with people of SA... something that you will not get from polititians and certain media channels. I vote for Dr Harvey for minister of electricity. Sounds like he at least knows what a volt and a watt is. 👏👏👏
Vote DA bosasa action SA FF acdp IFP
If you want a future
Don't forget about the PA
I will never as an African vote for the racist DA which hates the natives and want to replace us with millions of undocumented immigrants who provide cheap labour to private sector which is white owned government..
No difference among the DA, WMC, Colonizers, Stellenbosch Mafia, all are the destroyers of Africa.
There is no FUCHA fact #Iamleaving
Thank you ANC
I love how the experts all seem to overthink the situation, the ANC are playing election games and in any other economy but Africa they would get marched out of their positions of power. TIA.
Ramaphosa is the cause of loadsheding
😂
Wait a minute, you got a political analyst to comment on Eskom? Are the Engineers busy?
No one cares what engineers have to say in SA.
ANC must be removed from government for at least 10 years, SA needs visa programs for skilled people, cut back on the rampant racism against people who actually want to live here from other countries, and less state more private sector. Otherwise SA will never get forward. All the dependent people will always be dependent if we don't cut the state back. But South Africans need to work harder, be more disciplined, and want more. This lethargic attitude is what is holding this beautiful country back.
Realy. They must think we are stupid
Results for elections
After elections back to load shedding
Is time ANC being a history this time fire is there 2024 is 1994 come 29 may people are waiting?
Electioneering 😂😂😂😂
Yep
That journalist must learn to keep quiet and let Dr. Harvey complete his sentence or what he is saying..
She's got such a big ego.
He seems long winded and doesn't know when to stop talking. These news channels are on a time schedule.
@@M-zg2sg I find the lack of attention span amongst people quite concerning. He was not long winded at all.
Nah fam she just didn't like where the conversation was going 😂😂😂
We in Lenasia have experienced constant outages which is attributed to indirect load shedding as a result of power outages.
No OFFICIAL loadshedding - but WHY are large areas of Jhb, Alberton all without power due to 'FAULTS' ?. As witnessed today. Is this some new 🐂💩?????.😊
Ha until after the elections
We are going to vote.
Make a wise choice...
Because loadsheding is deliberate
ANC is playing by people's LIFE and they don't care
ANC cant Hide Corruption in Darkness anymore😮
So does that mean loadshedding is forever? Big surprise. SA could be such a wonderful country, but we have the anc, eff and now mk.
Those are the 3 horsemen of the apocalypse.
Nini abo, xoki ndini
@@beewest5704
The African destroyer worse than Zimbabwe what an Embarrassment
Lies, there's an outage in my area right now. Some houses haven't had power for more than a week.
The ANC is going to collapse the grid.
Wait for stage 10 on 30 May😂
Elections and cooler weather so less air-conditioning and genereration units run more efficiently in cooler weather and also so many people with solar now, especially industry and big businesses. We have a client who just spent R2m on solar for their factory.
Private sector open six billion dollar electric car company they knew there is power
Dr. E has a sound point there. Eishkom thinks we are fools.
Past injustices have merely exacerbated an existing problem.
Africa's leaders continue trading with their people's welfare & resources to the highest bidder ever since the slave trade.
Greed is a global phenomenon.
The extent of a government's blatant corruption is largely proportionate to its inability to govern and/or self sustain
There are only two parties that can save South Africa ,,,its DA and ActionSA thats if we vote ANC or EFF poverty and shame that we see in other African countries will happen soon here in SA ,so lets save SA
Elections can fix load shedding, lets have elections every month 😂😂
Eskom is missing out on a huge opportunity. Why not bulk buy solar equipment as they will have a serious advantage, and then offer people installations at home. Charge by the kw/h. They would have a serious advantage in the ability to provide and it solves much of the grid expansion issue. The current generation capacity can gradually be eased into a role providing heavy industry etc
This lady has been advised by Mbalula as he is the only one who stays in this country but his mind in onother country to be part of the truth of load shedding
The interview was too short for people to understand how they are being blindsided.
Duur Diesel word gebruik, tot verkiesing, dan terug na Fase 6 plus die keur
That is exactly what's happening, they are running the standby emergency diesel generators.
Skills in general are failing throughout South Africa, this News person is a typical example !!
Enjoy the party, while it lasts. Our poor fridges & freezers are having a great time of restoration of power.
Come on, whenever there's loadshedding we are always told Medupi didn't came online or Kouberg etc, no maintance issue is ever put on the table at the same time a bracket to loadshed is up to stage 16
😅.
It is an election season and those power stations can be ramped up nonstop
Someone from ICJ must come and see Eskom
More people are off the grid that's why eskom is stable now.....they are loosing more customers....
ANC.
Ramokgopa never said load shedding has ended, he said we should expect some upsets now and then, but the fact is that there is some improvement. The media always like to create wrong impression.
Improvement because we're heading towards elections?
'expect some upsets now and then 'More Now than Then'?
The taxpayers need a rebate from Ramakgopa.
@@hgfku-tn6hbso the system must not improve close to elections?
😂
Wait till 30 May 2024!!!
Higher fuel prices. Higher electricity prices. Presto ! Enough cash to get more fuel oil for Eskom generators. Suddenly we all are helping the ANC with their election campaign !
It’s not because of the white staff exodus, what Eskom needed to do is to move away from subcontracting especially for maintenance and hire technicians in house, the trouble at Eskom is that subcontractors pay for these units to be sabotaged so they can be called in to do repair work at an inflated fee. It’s known that state organs pay a premium for everything they subcontractor because of the dealings done at procurement which have to pay multiple bribes just to do the work. In sourcing of Eskom is the only thing that can save it permanently.
So basically your saying there is no hope 😂
#BringBackLoadsheeding must trend. We are being taken for a ride because we going to vote.
Such a bloody cheek to expect skilled people to leave simply because they are white SOUTH AFRICANS. One needs people to be employed on merit, not complexion.
Truthbombs!
What will stage 16 be like ????
Will it mean no elec for weeks on end ?!?!?
Eskom has a over strain over populated
Stage 16 after elections
Not 10 years out forever they got no idea how to run a country
Elections people!!!!
Don't jinx it please.
Best comment brother!
Vote Anc , Eff Mk out
Dear Sabc....sponsers of the ANC, load shedding still continues. There are area's going off every day some up to over 24 hours and the excuses are amazing. It's lie after lie after lie. So yes there no days without load shedding.. .just letting you know while I still have a little petrol left in my generator and will be off for rest of day
Ramaphosa the time he came to power there was no loadshedding but because he came to replace eskom.. he treated loadshedding by himself.. never vote ANC AGAIN PLEASE
This man call a spade a spade & some do not like it. Sorry.
Yip, no loadshedding! Until after the elections that is....
Nothing to do with upcoming elections?
No load shedding because elections are on the way. Soon after we have voted Eskom will move to Stage 6. #VoetsekAnc
Eskom doesn't have problem at all Ramaphosa was diong all of tghis for the benefit of those who paid him in the CR17 conference!
Hes actually saying nothing drawn out man
What did ANC want during rugby world cup?
Secondly, this specialist sounds emotional, never means its impossible. Stop bringing these negative ppl and bring ppl with solutions!!!
It's called elections!😊
Ag plz it is a political thing of ANC 😂😅😂😅
It's election period.... will have stage 24 immediately after election 😅... thats ANC for us 😅
stage 1000 after ANC elections 🤣🤣😂💀
Elections elections elections
As soon as the voting is over LOADSHEDDING will be back in action
And alot of billions 😂😂😂😅😅😅😅
Thabo Mbkei investigated nothing wrong just continue to to maintain Eskom people will soon say goodbye to Eskom 😂😂😂😂😂
"Skilled white staff". That's our biggest issue in this country...everything is about race & not the job at hand.
Elections obviously
The woman tries to subtly correct his use of the idion, "The proof of... Is in the eating" by saying, "it's in the tasting, testing". He's correct, she's not. 😂 I'm skeptical of Eskom's sudden success just before the general election.😅 😅😅😅😂
Eskom will recover. These naysayers and doomsday preachers are suffering from chest pains because there is progress. It kills their narrative and electioneering that there is no loadshedding. They must stay put, this country will recover from this.
Stopping electricity only for election
😂😂😂😂
The hynes saw that it's elections time we must voteANC out
The eskom subcontract belongs to white former eskom employees, fronting with Africans
When doing your job properly for once makes the news.
