SA Electricity minister announces nuclear energy plan for 2500MW power plant. 

At last. This is one instance where Zuma was right years ago.

These organisations are the one that put us in these mess we are now because they hate Zuma shem on them

I'm very skeptical of environmental organizations in South Africa. They are just the mouthpiece of independent power producers.

So Zuma was right about nuclear power all along.south Africa is just a messy country.

Our Country is sold brother, Thank you for your good work . Only a certain group of people who are going to benefit

Give it 2 years Jamie and you will be a big player in podcasts space.

So, Zuma was right after all

They blame Zuma for it now it's good because it's them doing it. South Africa mara

Zuma told them and they called him names. Shame, a corrupt bogus world

So they’re copying Zuma’s homework and changing it a little to make it look like theirs 😂

Amazing commentary Jamie, I remember you from my wits days as a junior, when you worked in the SRC, always a man of the people. 👊Keep flying high, sir 🫡.

Zuma was right. People are not stupid.

I always wondered why a billionaire can become a president this is the reason

The beneficiaries was Gupta family and now Rupert the one who owns media and the current "GNU" government 🤭

Who exactly had captured the state here😡

When JZ wanted to get nuclear energy, it was sin, but now under ramaphosa it is not sin! What is happening in this country?😂😂😂😂😂

Faith used for politicking must be ashamed...I want to hear them talk now again....hypocrites 😡

We've been played by billionaires

They owe Zuma a big apology

Zuma deserves an apology 😢

Ramaphosa is in the best position right now, his making all the decisions that we were told JZ was doing at double the price and no media scrutiny

If really South Africans don't see what's really happening...this is so sad...we shall never be a free society, country....we were never free Anyway very clear now...

Clearly we want everything that works for the country but it depends who comes up with the idea. Now I'm waiting to see what's gonna happen with the "Arms Deal Case"

Liked, subscribed and shared because this is important. Thanks MJTV

Thanks my chief very informative

Should have done years ago. Load shedding would never have occurred

Actually, we're going to need nuclear power in order to both solve our energy supply in the long term as well as reduce our reliance on coal. Nuclear power is actually quite environmentally friendly and nuclear waste is not the problem that many people make it out to be. I think that Ramakgopa was talking about the new small modular reactor technology, they must of made a deal with China for the technology.

To cut a matter short ANC must be completely out in government they looted enough

Thank you for the education which exposed what the Minister PG was doing to the economy. The Private Sector/Public Sector did not put in any finance but reaped tremendous benefits - my God.

Few families and private sector will benefit.

Zuma ideas is adopted . They hate him but use his idea

Remember, during apartheid, South Africa had nuclear weapons. Once apartheid ended, they took away nuclear weapons. Now, with the DA suddenly sneaking back into the political arena, IN THEIR EYES, IN THE NEAR FUTURE, they(DA) see themselves in power. They are preparing to get nuclear weapons again, if that happens. With the continent becoming more awakened by the day, the WEST, may try to use South Africa as their stronghold, to combat the revolution that is starting to happen on the continent.....

That is why they hate Zuma, for nothing.Viva MK

The hypocrisy of these devils is mind blowing and disgusting.

We are in trouble... My brother can u do a set on SENTECH which is a South African-based digital infrastructure and content delivery company that has become a gate keeper for few white companies that run our media. Why these no interest to open up and roll-up the space for broadcasting

This is great work bro. Keep exposing.

One thing about Africa we'll always be the poo at the bottom of the International boot. Disgusted by our hungry politicians and their evil cronies

Well articulated presentation.

The people running the nuclear power stations have to be qualified. Nuclear has very bad consequences when badly managed.

We are long beig sold by the president. We are taken for a ride.

The fact that IPP exceeded 1Trillion ( not counting the diesel back ups on Eskom side) and we are still struggling to meet power demand in the country is painful to see. Politics should have done better to think long term. Sad

So what else was Zuma right about...This is why people should judge for themselves instead of blindly following the news

Good job bro, thanks to digital media we are now exposed to different views. Private /public partnership is the language of Worl Economic Forum. So we are not implementing services based on the need of the country but driven by global organization take over of services using the local monopoly capital

Where are these judges that came to this absurd judgement

Great analysis ❤🔥🔥🔥

Apology to JZ. Pls!

The government wants to accelerate this nuclear deal before the revolution could arise in South Africa. This is to secure the bag for the super powers and a debt trap as well. South Africans should not entertain this idea. This plan is not based on any plan to industrialise anything. Just for domestic distribution, the current infrastructure is exceedingly capable of producing enough power. Moreover this country has enough coal reserves.

Gosh, all these things the ANC have not fitted into in the last 30 years, what will happen when [Samson Gwede Mantashe] gets knowledge of all of this. Instead of getting rid of him, they just changed his portfolio. CADRE by Cyril Ramaphosa.

Hey man, what a circus. This South Africa for us. Ramaphosa is a sell out.

where are all the fools who said they don't want nuclear?

The ANC government abandoned the Pebble Bed Modular Reactor reserach and the Yanks walked off with it. Then Zuma's proposal to go nuclear was shot down. Makes me wonder who the anti nationals are in this country.

I wonder if this people will again flock to the streets and challenge this again. I just wonder

RET is always future wise

Let’s see how the lobby groups, foundations, and all of them will react now 😂

But under Zuma nuclear power was state capture

I like the gaslighting part

Zuma is ten steps ahead of all these guys. I hope all of us will remember this in 2026 Viva MK viva Forward with the people's President Jacob Zuma Forward Amandla!!!

This whole story smells of dodgy dealing.

They allowing it now because is going to benefit them.

Suddenly nuclear is feasible because its not a Zuma led project, and notice how the same people who fought tooth and nail to destroy Zuma's ambitious to build a nuclear mega project are silent because IPPs (read white capital) are involved

Great News.

The centralisation of critical roles within The Presidency has all the hallmarks of State Capture at this rate Ramaphosa is short of centralising Chapter 9 institutions directly within the Presidency beyond the realm of having power to appoint. The same lobbies are now even attempting to revive PMBR initiative, after all our nuclear scientist were discouraged and immigrated out of SA. We lost momentum and hopefully we shall rebuild. The same lobby that brought us IPP's are now at the table of nuclear ( scoundrels of a special type).

Can you please put sources in the description Good episode btw

Another 25 yrs before it will be Completed...unless it's a Private Sector Combined effort 👀

Perhaps we should have a detailed look at the deals and conditions imposed on our country?

Great episode...

I challenge the youth of today because its clear now that they will never participate as owners of this country .stop this sale of.

There have been nuclear announcements since back then, yet to see ground broken or procurement completed. But we remain hopeful, perhaps this time it's not a popularist ploy. Thanks for your invaluable dissection, always looking forward 👍

It's difficult to sell long term solutions to energy crises. The "10-12-15" year build time would've been approaching maturation today. 9.2GW is serious muscle.

ANC is dead really 😢

Imagine a square km of solar panels and then a really bad hail storm....

This country has beeeeeeen gas lit!!!

Nxamalala ubephazamisa🙆

It's obviously Political .. just follow the money you'll find the truth.

appreciate your services brav.🤟🏿

Zuma was right. Rejected because Zuma was gonna assign the gubtas to mine uranium and supply the nuclear power station

Russia can simply fund EFF and MK to protest the nuclear deal

I hope they name the power plant after Jacob Zuma.

Frankly our best hope will be small modular pebble bed which is domestically produced with domestic investment. Then rather assist local municipalities to procure these small reactors. These municipalities can then generate revenue through selling electricity to their residence and selling excess to the national (state-owned) grid. They can also attract investors by offering them discounted electricity in exchange for building and operating local factories. I don't mind BTO if it leads to local municipalities in their capital formation. But operating licenses must expire so that the municipality can use the capital equipment to generate revenue.

Zuma wanted RSA to build a nuclear. But is motsepe also involved in this🤦🏿

Yebo yes minister go forward

If promises were horses - beggars would ride... 🎉

GNU capture.

2017 under Zuma👎2024 under GNU 👍,wow the matter was Zuma& Russians not People of South Africa...all these organizations are biased

Was Lee Ann Mannas doing propaganda or was she doing journalism there?

The cost of building nuclear power stations usually go waay over budget. That said, it does make sense to consider nuclear for baseload as part of the energy mix (which does include solar and wind). As with most things, the devil is in the details, execution is critical, and how is corruption going to be prevented? YES, who will be building it? YES, who who will be running it? How will it be done, e.g. will there be knowledge transfer to South Africans? I would add to this the question of what the design of the power station will be (E.G. Modular using Thorium?, Pebble Bed for inherent safety? etc etc).

keep it up bro!!!!

Nuclear was always good, we didnt want it done under zumas administration, imagine trillions of rands flowing to the Guptas

Who were all those protesters who paid them?

When things going wrong they will blame Zuma and the Guptas but the president of Ramaphasa came to power everything gone wrongly and till today

Who was the judge president of the western cape division of the high court at the time?..that is correct

Do you think the people who were protesting were paid?

I wonder how much will it cost? Last time I checked Mr Gordan said it was over a Trillion Rand, which the country cannot afford mhmmm

We don't want to have electricity security but sell our sovereignty... ie. we need to run in the opposite direction of Russia, China etc.

Great analysis.

The current state capture that no one is talking about. People made so much noise about the Guptas when they actually wanted to do worse. Now they do so comfortably and have their " boy " at the helm.

I knew it was just The markets nothing else arh

Do we need advertising of department of roads & transport on tv? The department is paying those chanels to advertise & at the end of the day what material difference does it make after being told about highway roads being constructed. When they could use that budget to take in more intern students, that small increased number makes a difference somewhere. Now DSTV is enriched with advertising revenue.

I absolutely hope that they will not use Russia or China to be suppliers of these nuclear plants.

Excellent from the minister
