They're massively in debt, they can't keep any power stations functioning, it takes them 10 years to build new power stations that end up basically exploding the moment they turn them on.
South Africans don't want new batteries, they want a functioning electrical grid

So building infrastructure which helps the grid during peak use times is bad then, eh?
Some people just gotta bitch about everything.

Yeah, how dare I bitch about being without power for 6-8 hours a day, every day.
Some people just have to tell others to get over situations they have no clue about.

Well we’re suffering from outages RIGHT NOW.
7-12 months to build this station is laughable, whoever wrote that article doesn’t know South Africa. It’ll probably take 2 years, generate half the amount for electricity said to be generated, AND THEN baaam! Something goes wrong, then there’s a scandal
