France produces 71% of Electricity from Nuclear where 40% of Uranium is from Niger. They don't have Loadshedding. South Africa rejected a 9.6 GW Nuclear from the 2010 Intergrated Resource Plan at R100/MWh and opted for French Renewable Energy at R2300/MWh. They have Loadshedding.

The Intergrated Resource Plan (IRP) clearly and extensively detailed how the Nuclear Program would benefit South Africa at large and how it's finance model structure was to be execute. One of those structures was Nuclear Intergovernmental Agreement between BRICS Member Countries.

Another Agreement was between South Africa and Russia through the "Promotion and Reciprocal Protection of Investments" had agreed on building Nuclear Plants in South Africa to expand SA's Economic, Scientific, Technological advancements and build Arsenals for the SA Defense Force

What's interesting about this whole energy conversion in SA whether or not Nuclear was/is a right source for electrical generation is a fact the Apartheid Regime built a [Koeberg] Nuclear Plant to fast track Industrialization that has been active since 1984 and no complications

Eskom CEO, Brian Molefe told Parliament with Opposition Parties [DA, EFF, IFP etc] present how Eskom benefits with cheapest Electricity production from Koeberg. And that Eskom was ready to build Nuclear. MPs rejected this program and opted for IPPs at 30% Annual Cost Increases

Costs to produce Electricity for Eskom as of December 2020:

Coal = R 397
Nuclear = R 100
Renewable Energy (IPPs) = R 2 347

IPPs cost 23% of Eskom Expenditure while producing only 4.8% of Electricity to the National Grid. That's R 220 Billion spent by Citizens for 4.8% of Power

I blame Guptas for lying they own Uranium Mine cause Floyd and Malema kept nagging Molefe about "Nuclear benefitting Guptas". Thuli Madonsela's Star witness who submitted Facebook Posts to Zondo Inquiry said SA will be slaves to Guptas if nuclear is passed and Nuclear got blocked
