This is the story of the whites who did not go to Europe. This is the branch of Whites who went to Persia (modern day Iran) and India. What happened to some of these whites? This is the bizarre story of how they got to South America; Easter Island and finally, New Zealand.
[What is important here is to note the relationship between the vast amount of money needed versus the handful of jobs it will create. They claim that it will also end the rolling blackouts which are called "load shedding". The Black Jew, Ramaphosa is a flop in most everything he does, which I find very delightful since I don't trust this snake. I have an EXTREME DOUBTS that this will really solve any problems in the long term. But I have watched for years as the ratio of the costs of projects versus the number of jobs that are created by them, gets ever worse. This situation is also the death knell of Black rule. I love watching the inefficiency getting worse. It's fabulous. The ship is terminally damaged and the ship is sinking. Jan]
President Cyril Ramaphosa’s cabinet has welcomed the announcement of eight energy projects as part of the independent power programme, which it says will inject billions of rands into the local economy and help stabilise the country’s power supply.
In a media briefing on Thursday (25 March) acting minister in the Presidency Khumbudzo Ntshavheni said that the cabinet was aware of the negative socio-economic impact, disruption and inconvenience caused by load shedding.
“Every effort is being made to resolve current energy challenges and bring new power generation capacity online in the shortest possible time, which is fundamental to South Africa’s economic recovery,” Ntshavheni said.
“At the same time, government continues to support concerted efforts to stabilise Eskom and set it on a sustainable growth path.”
Ntshavheni said that cabinet has now welcomed the announcement by energy minister Gwede Mantashe of eight preferred bidders to provide an additional 2,000 megawatts of emergency electricity that will help support the national grid over the short-term.
The preferred bidders from the Independent Power Producer Programme are expected to source energy from solar, wind, liquefied natural gas and battery storage. The first connections to the grid are set for August 2022, she said.
“The eight projects will inject R45 billion into the economy, with an average local content of 50% and create some 3,800 job opportunities during construction.
“A further 13,500 job opportunities will be created during the 20-year purchase power agreement term,” Ntshavheni said.
She added that the government was working on strategic interventions for the electricity system will fundamentally improve the country’s power-generation capacity.
The Risk Mitigation Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme (RMIPPPP) was released to the market in August 2020 with aim of alleviating the country’s electricity supply constraints and to reduce the extensive utilisation of diesel-based peaking electrical generators in the medium-to-long-term.
The bid submission closed on 22 December 2020 and attracted a total of 28 bid responses with a potential contracted capacity of approximately 5,117MW, said Mantashe in a statement last week.
Mantashe said that the quantity and quality of the bid responses and potential megawatt of contracted capacity allowed for a competitive price evaluation.
He added that the evaluation process has resulted in the selection of eight preferred bids totalling 1,845, and a further three eligible bids totalling 150MW.
“The three eligible bids are subject to value for money proposition in line with the provisions in the request for proposal.
“It is important to note that these three bidders are within the 2,000MW capacity threshold in terms of the evaluation rankings, but their announcement can only be made following satisfactory value for money propositions.”

When Black leaders do enormous things, Jews and Liberals never criticise them. The scale of what Mugabe did was incredible, but no Jew or Liberal ever screeched about it.
