the 1st would like to find out what is the status of energy shortage in south africa right now. so thank you very much for the invitation. of course we had had a major challenge in relation to add the energy deficit day. we had a situation where our generation capacity wasn't sufficient to meet 50 mind. and for us to be able to protect the great day we initiated to update and set it up and call you, we would call low chevy. why that simply means is that a we deny households an industry that likes to have a electricity for setting the hours of the day. and that could be multiple now and say in the morning and even in peak and the situation overload shading. and am i a quite too intense levitas a in trying to change the way we can arrange for it to close? state 6, locating so. and that means is that the degree to assure the of 6000 they know i'd

say to meet the demand and, and that time state typed into at 12 l i c. and a day without electricity. so that was in pain. say undermining the ability to of industry to grow this i left mccadney calling on me to perform, but also a degree i didn't do quite the tool for life will say that i see them. so at the present insights to do, i say to a point in the minis tells me to listen to that to which has to be solely responsible for that. i solution on the electricity crisis a to i say that point. and that day i was appointed and of course say with we've same s. com which is a state or an enterprise that is responsible for electricity generation transmission and distribution in the country. and we're able to improve the performance of the installer freight. so as i speak to you now, we uh about 6 months without a locating. and so this is a tremendous say success. the last time we had such an item without locating was

about a 3 or 4 years ago. and i'm confident that the system continues to improve a and going into the future more than quite a few then that they are locating wouldn't be behind us. so now we're beginning to think about what the future holds on the energy sector. and of course, a transition to it, examples continue to increase their performance, improve the performance of the performance of the installer. fleet, look at the energy makes a while, so that allow the economy to grow. so it means that i'm invest that i say, so the side of the canyon calling me now. he's on the recovery remote day because a locating was a selection of queens sitting at the close of the current on me. and now we seeing in a way into it and so we can see the direction where we're going. so i'm confident that we're going to sustain vc let levels and in fact, improve them. and the create the room for the economy to grow. what the credit,

the success of what have been able to achieve them. why wasn't this done before? well, a number of things. so the 1st thing that should not be out in the state, that is the people issue. so we have never had a extra change of scale to say and compete and say within the state on and to to that the say escal. and i guess that they media passed. they knew that she both escal make these notes available if you like, the contribution to offer a webcast that has an issue of the problem that we're looking at as a way of but insight. and so in a came in was to ensure that least that'd be like the leadership of the school and a new group, create chief executive officer. so as a point and to, and of course with, with a concrete 10 board which was appointed by the president in october of 2022. so i'd be required to i see an executive of $32.00. i didn't mean he said that believed in them. and i mean, these are distinguished men and women, and we've seen him pick able to take that for the exception of the scales. they

made a significant contribution. say in this off we can you call on me. so that'd be on that approach. so it was important that we're able to offend them and ensure that we work with them in that as a lucian or say this program. so the 1st thing was to result they need, i should be a issue to ensure that they are pointing people with that a skills email in the right position. so this was the 1st part. the 2nd part was a, a taking a kind of issue. what do i mean by taking college? so just trying to understand which of these units are responsible for the majority, 2 of dental offices. so we've got to an understanding that 6 out of the they didn't qualify it public patients or responsible for 70 percent of that analysis. so if you focus just on the 6, the improvements would be mains. and so i'd research to do was to ensure that we are able to aggregate data and the skills that,

that are required to make that light in conventions at the 6 they have policies. and so these were prior to policies. we replace the resources they and all of the sort of see any substance we have for from 10 that they said one was a money issue. so by that, i mean they're over a period of time the is going by and she did the to donate that. so i ask, whom was unable to the invest bank a into it's a, a site base. so you guys soon put in that way able to get some kind of a relief from some way. and the only source of the injection could only come from the fee. scott: so governments of put that in kind of ancient because if you don't basically ask them, then the south african, the economy is going to quite absolutely, i'd say no choice. we had to, to make that determination. so it is all the issues of financing, but that must be backed by performance. and, and so those are the 3 big issues intentionally that day we can get to and that's,

so i seen that kind of thing. i mean, i must say that needs exceeding our own expectations at tremendous success, exception of performance, and we want to sustain it. and now we're looking at that, enabling your generation capacity coming from private sector of the test and then state test outside as cool. so that's the way it will to improve. from what i understand so far, you have been able to do this on your role and are you looking at for an assistance in terms of projects or b as investments which partners are you looking to attract countries and then what, wait, with your absolute to cut a so there's a reason why we do freaks apart the breaks because say it's a group or for a like minded country, say, if you like a little thing called the say it is shale and most to come when pittsburgh to fight onto what of you. and on how best a you can share technology skills to ensure that you improve your own or not to

ensure that in that day we move together in seeing a, in that as long as she know of the child in yourself. she might need and then there's a, the money for stations, or that the relationship be, say, collaborating with the taking the cognitive it. and like i said, i mean if you look at that i, she, i look at, in the aggregate china, they've got the, some of the oldest. they have power stations, much older than our, our or less there. yeah. about 50 s a. yeah. you have a post vision that the 1790 is of age, the same of the chinese, the same with the indians and the performing much better than the. so you don't need to look further than why do a break type nice. i do. and in fact, day on the sidelines offered the brakes meeting that was held inside the pre k and even now and, and concluding those discussions with say, they say putting us to say, how best can they have by say in ensuring that we couldn't the performance of these

power stations, and they are doing that before means we thought and decidedly increasing emissions . and in fact, the emissions say live is significantly better than us. so going to resolve tweet issues. so in to resolve a taking the kind of technology problem, you're also going to to resolve the issue of emissions. we've also went down by that, we need to extend the life of these plans. it must not be to the date, the remainder of the environment. we have committed ourselves to a team the times the agreement if you try. so it's important that we live up to a little unclear mcmann. so the nationality, tim and quantity portion. so within the framework of the brakes, those are the kinds of pipe nation. and then and beyond that, the new generation capacity is regarding ripples. it's important that they were able to design and have programs that makes it possible to have a, an outside financing at to come into this into the area,

into the side of it and decided africa and generic. they help us teaching that a day, a electricity. so to clean up homes, offer of generation. so e, p c plus f as the, as they call it a. those are some of the options that was looking at. we went to expanding our transmission create. we need to invest about $35000000000.00 us dollars. and i don't think that all of these costs can be able to carry that is combined sheet is not that strong. so we looking for peaceful financing instruments that can come into this space and help us to finance these expansion. so you're looking at the new development bank amongst of us we are looking at the individual countries including that expect to pay and a companies to come into this space. so of course it would be at tons by the end, competed to face process. they offer a inviting class, but i think that they have the countries within the explain why that's the last 3

to the b t tool and in the mall. and during fishing, a competitive fission to resolve their own problems. and i think that the, the status of them in what state when we open this process for them to come in and have a bus to resolve the challenges of any jenny electricity going into, into the future are using. and you're here for the rest and energy a week for i'm of course, i have to bring any discussions in terms of some of the concrete measures. for example, concrete investments or joint projects be of with rational or other for x partners or from other countries. if i have it engaged with the partners, i've had to buy like times with them and asked us, you can say, hey, we've got a change in relation to it gets say, well going to do, i just call it guess please say in the next 2 years unless, if we really solve the problem, we are now throwing our cash for them and was on b k,

the fields of funded the money and most of the 3 within that time supported. so then we'll appeals to a, a pipeline that is called the drum corps, that these co owned by our south side of kind of was on became government. and also a, a private clay uh, inside of that we kept close so, so, so the info aspects hayes day. and by the way, dining out of that get see. and because supports about the 6 percent over the side left, we can a corner meets the investor leasing vicki a space that the lights on that guess contributes 6 percent to the g d p of the country and played on price say at diet. i think the about the end of the 1053000 people. so i think it's important. that's why it would take those jobs. so looking at the importing, elaine g, a coming into i came to them was, i'm became vice city too because he was the quickest way of way of getting that guessing to the country. and so yes, we took into and a number of players say,

of course that team and police countries say we're talking to everyone to see how best we can, we can resolve this child. and so i'm confident that day we should be in a position to get to a stage way, way we're to attestation sophie of guess supply in that country including and the issues that i one day they play on the examples, i must emphasize that we have coordinated to 18 the future so and we're not about to go back on that day. so the problem is we made fast to our own people, but also to, to that i still of the, so we need to transition and i think that's not in the push of one of the discussion about that transition. of course, it's not an easy task and you need to ensure that it doesn't come at the expense yourself. you'll come to the right. how do you manage that balance? because at the same time, from what i understand the west is really pushing aggressively like do it. now. you are actually to cut in, we have very t, i things you actually to clinic day. we kind of do it dictate through mental hall

on interest a, make the play and all the time that so, but any interest will come every other in today. so all of that in today's sort of subordinate to the survey. so what is the silver and the incidents that you might have quite a to reliable and affordable heated seats available all the time? and so like we noise that day, we are extremely endowed, least quote. let me just so sophie in aging the country. so we kind of by that, any like that to how it is i just didn't how, how are you going to replace it and, and we know they're changing this offering level. and then the dispatcher will in time you time. not always have a nipple. and so you can put in that day, you get the mix, i do. and as you do that meets you on you from the time the interest of your own country. i mean, they just made the point that day, a lot of recovery effort in relation to a energy electricity performance is on the bag of clothes. that's how we've been

able to to the cup. that's why the sustaining us now. so you can just say a binding, the relinquished that otherwise we're going to do is to bring you impulse, say, a speedy li. well, when to accelerate that i made the point day in public back at the home that was going to be attack and i see in on voiding that example because a, the, i didn't know all 15. and it's also emission that i can, is also in the, in can i still hard people, so you can achieve both. so you can either buying that. the question is not this one or the other one. you should be able to do those. somebody pay me actually, and they mix a and the equilibrium must, besides that all the time. you will meeting your nation not interested. and we make the point in that day of it is at the pace and scale that we can afford. so far your extend, the lease is of existing power plants in terms of building new ones. you're still at the end of those. she ation phase or you're still talking about it. is that the

opposite, the conic. so the $1800.00 maybe dollars or so we had extending the life. so the 900 thing a to oakland, a extension the provider is given. so it's a, it's a, it's all put a to now, and even the other one is all part 18. it's license. so 40 hours of operation is going to come to an end next year. but before that one to get an extension and give you to another tend to use. so let's say as to what the other side is for us to bring in your or addition to our new cap part capability. we have said, you know, up cleaning that we need 2005 funding. so what i'm doing now, they're planning on telling me how to procure that 2005 funding and i'm confident that day and by next year with if a and resolve this question. and then we can go out to the market and be able to, at a point, people to help us to build that 2500 megawatts of nuclear, a capacity in the country. are you reaching out to and the foreign partners at the

moment. so this is of course and fully itself, attendance, age you discussed the partners, have you had any conversations with anyone here which countries perhaps oh yes, i mean the made up the i see no way of day and these plans have a few months so they did an impact of course. so here you know, said tom, so big the place or the weather where the renowned for a it's taking a 90 i'd be to deliver within the budget on time. the chinese, a very, very big play in the space defines very, very big pay in this space. their medicaid is very, very big play in this space. they saw square ends very, very placing the space. so essentially we have those. i mean, i'm just to mention, if you anything exactly says that to him for that they, they lead to see that space. and of course the indians. how old is a new mix. so it's important that you are able to reach out to follow this pipe us and let's see at because the law requires that the to has to be competitive in cons,

funding process that when we take to that, i think it's important that we're able to give a confidence to the general public that day. the procurement offering you guys and i think see new stuff. it says the same as the pro children and any other pollutants. i always expect except that this is new to you. the size of the ticket is huge. and the complexity of the technology known to, to everyone. so it's important that that process is a task button. and so that you're doing these, created the process itself and decide if we can, people are saving appreciation of what we're getting ourselves into. and is it something that you can afford depending on what we'd advise? but we know from the, the, the, the, the 2 units that wet extending their life, the cubic units the adult when the incorporations, it'd be appreciated and they have very clean and daddy liable. so that much, we know it better than any other eh and eh,

qualify it power station. and they built the house. oh, it was a built by, i think it was the thing she liked that they'd be giving about 40 some people. and the other ones we waiting for the day in that day by the suite. we're going to that the what is nice now is that the days more play, i've seen that space and beyond that. so in then we're open to the fields and will benefit from that competition. what pulls me that the side in fact are as to who will take you said that you wanted to be a competitive environment. so the different countries can propose their plans of how they see it, how they could help south africa. well, what will be the deciding factor to follow south africa? which partner, it's a peg because as you mentioned, there are so many countries that could help you. what will be the deciding factor when faced the price is going to be a big part of the day, because a is going to be possible. so i have your past prices, i mean,

call me to that price. someone must pay for it. and the people pay for it to the south african may probably a is that the in consumer which is at the time spot into way of way of paying for that all you came, you have and then transplant into way of paying for that that some of the fees costs and so, but either way is this off, we can bill, i needs a quote from. the other one is a lead me take just to the tax payer, who are paying for that by leaving those what and then takes pay us. there's an opportunity cost that could be benefiting from italy, being billed by you guys a directive, not minus to supplementing a bill on that day of that they have a policy issue, but we will be fed to as a liberalized cost. what i mean is a, you take into account the capital costs and the cost of what i mean. i did say the operational costs a significant, you know, compared to other sources. so you don't just look at the temperature of costs up front, but why do to take for you to that in

a way to that effect. so if they say that you want to do those numbers, but also you want to, this is the, your pipe. no, ever you to say must not the whole way period of time lead me to our ability to for the issue any, by that i mean you, i just depending dependent on one person to reissue it because what that does is it takes over here. so we're going to say should not be parties that they will a no my know i so we're going to be going into the future and have so those are the kind of things that we look into and, and see how best we, we can resolve the same question, but i'm confident that we are going to increase a how i can get in the nation capacity. and this is exactly what a lot of our pre singles, talking about during the 1st day of the russian energy week for him that he wants to help his partners rush as partners become technologically solved, right? that they don't depend on anyone. what are you taking back with you in terms of

lessons from rochelle or be what you've seen? because there was also an exhibition of technologies in the sector. what are you taking back with you? what 1st is a, i mean, and i've come to appreciate the kind of investment that i, she has made in at n t and, and the fact that day on was independence day across all the sick tests. i think it's important for any cognitive no just was to be able to develop that cup a c t n capability. and so that day you are able to protect you all within can i? so when you make choices and decisions, another function of what the other party has is do. so if you all water line one come to the or the other is going to influence requisitions. because if you take it to the scene or a stands that these say they made typically will pose 2. what does code 3 stands for? they could, they pull the plug or in an area of a overlay insole or inc,

i depend insights and put in that to the able to the stating that these places leaving in till connected last in a little while as well. so i wouldn't be naive to suggest that they are going to be independent on the policy. yes, i think we're going to west together. so i think the 1st part is say that definitely is that cheap, but you need to that to you if a design or what and then the 2nd one is that to say that they look at you. uh, yeah, for the to have for it. and so that way ever, uh so then the decided these types to us, but we went away with you. and on this key in open meet, we went to an ons, your own ability to meet you out on the requirements. so essentially, technologically independent and for the kind of advances that we have made to approve paper share with you and what i typed in no condition. so, i mean that's a, something that is welcomed. i mean, when the a lead of countries is not going to work with everyone and no one to help you to

reach that kind of independence that is required so that you can stand on your own feet. you don't have to be over the last one. i guess that the see if i to be the utility in that kind of environment, we find no set of a i'm throwing off a job for you to go to the issue say it was. and then the 3rd one is the ability to, to call. but i didn't call up what i left the wrong or to get, i think that's a what the there. but it's the last 3 definitely there just said we to the title of things one to do on the image of providing the kinds of technologies that the class, the enhancement of why existing at power stations. but what we know is that the, the brakes member countries, some of the images have done that kind of things that we intend to do now. so you can learn from there. so what i quote the last move advantage here. so you learn from their own mistakes to be and if you told them that and then right able to move

forward. and the fact that the platform is open to say, let's have this conversation, this dialogue. it's us, since these are things very conflict then that dave, collaboration and quote, but i see it and that's what i do. i see in the, in the breaks a in there, but, except for me and, and the price in putting reemphasize that they're working together. we don't have a nice annual one while waiting for our own product to be in place. if someone wants to joining almost welcome to joining of course they, there's a process of doing that and that's why the breach continues to grow. now we're to present the 35 percent of the g, d p a that significant can beat not bigger than any other a grouping of a country. so it's the man said the brakes, the ca and, and i think we do that to advance all on the internet is quality of interest to and we don't stand or pose to a new one and, but just the on interest. that's why the police is a box. just finally, at the same time, there is, this seems to be

a little bit of pressure that is felt in the west as brooks is go, is a growing and developing. so there seems to be a desire to retain that for the g 7 and literally 20 for example, to retain their whole than their power and dominance. do you feel that in the future, perhaps there will be some issues with that as brooks are becoming stronger and stronger in attracting more and more partners and working together when i can do a kind of predict the future. but what i can say is that the police is really a platform of like minded countries. that sense for us to engage in public. we're tap into shape. mainly it expects a common view up on the wednesday orientation almost the same. the challenge is say, faced by allied, expect to come through say that of a development day, and you still have a issues of exclusion inequality and pull that t as so we want to also make technology kind of advances technology customized. so

he found me the appropriate, at least come together in the se umbrella part of the brakes. a light i said to be the ones they know post to anyone. as of the police, does not dest exist to oppose the 27220 the police that exist to advance its own interests. and if someone wants to come in, during the breaks, i'm sure that they, they lead us. it depends on what the those say about our new tests. we will continue. so let nothing competition with anyone. all that want to do is to activate that by a membership of the brakes are not able to advance your own concrete interest in what able to collaborate based up. but i am confident that the police will continue to grow in a, in leaps and bounds. i am more than confident about that and the true test or the success or the brakes is saved and that kind of been influenced. i think the experience add to it, say that people don't remember countries i think that's important is one thing to be able to an organization is much time state is to something tangible for,

you know, or next week tuesday. and like i said, what i said, we see the kinds of technologies exchanges. why do we see on date, energy sector? we fade increase things available. it is cheap, but it says that it is out of 5 member sheep and nobody's collaborating with the pipeline. any testimony, and i'm confident about each feature, and that's why it's grow and then people more, more conscious onto joy of citizens. thank you so much for that stuff in your time . thank you and good luck and enjoy the remaining of most go what you get to see. thank you very much. take the oh the cause i don't want you to be nice to someone that you spend most of them on this fund basis. i see for the se, mitchell,

i get it under the guise of evacuation about 50000 people were transported. the, the main purpose of this concentration camp in bella rows was to in think, prisoners with typhus and use them as a human shield against the advancing soviet on me, giving my own. but feeling in coupon, you put them in the, in the plugin for the shift that you're shipping and stuff like that, but don't want to bring your name. you know, i'm so sorry i missed because on your certificate seems to be put precisely and that's just, you know, it's easy use people, his biological weapons, leading them to perish without food, water motion. so the draw of some water for me if i did so could i think it was useful to can you could the infringe, kenesha wheeler should have just put in each each additional re

a ship for them to move the cam gloucester 10 days or what else made it drastically defense from other camps of that the rice watch on t. the water is part of the leg, isn't it? but it would post that isn't the deepest you of us and that in the word part is it something deeper, more complex might be present during that stop without collision. is that spelled product or has come again to 11 on israel's genocidal assault on gaza. has now spread to the north. in both cases, the bite in ministration has done nothing constructive to reduce and avoid conflict

in the region. for us is the greatest enabler of israel's forever wars. the breaking news this our i new way. if all this really strikes is reported in the 11 east capital overnights as casualties knowledge about the size of the attack where it wasn't strategic or targeted, it was a carpet bombing on the residential area of stuff. here are correspondent in favorites reports from the scene of a massive idea if it's uh, with another nearby striking, reportedly having targeted basketball at chief of the middle east is at the brink of full blown award, which it seems some keenly wish to see to transpire. prussia condemns israel's bombardment off level not the united nation.
