Our investigation into government's controversial emergency power tender, to plug the hole in Eskom’s electricity supply, has exposed several red flags linked to the tender process and to the preferred bidder #KarpowershipSA - a subsidiary of the Turkish Karadeniz Group. 
Among the issues exposed by @amaBhungane include allegations 'that nonsensical rules of the emergency power programme would force bidders to burn fossil fuels and result in consumers paying more than they need to for electricity' amabhungane.org/stories/210514…
