👋VOTING 2024 | 🇿🇦ENERGY SECURITY WHO WANTS TO SEE ESKOM FAIL? Don’t vote for them 👇🏽

Do you know another reason why I will never vote for the DA, ActionSA, BOSA, IFP, Rise Mzansi, ACDP, FF+ and the moonshot gang, aside from the fact that they have taken money from the DA financial backers?

It’s proof that their funders wield powerful influence over them when they have to make decisions about our energy security.

1. We are load-shedding free since week 13 of 2024 and these Black leaders are not allowed to congratulate the new management at Eskom and share the facts because their funders won’t approve, in other words they want to see Eskom failing. They want load-shedding back.

2. This man, Bheki Nxumalo, turned things around and the black leaders Herman Mashaba, Mmusi Maimane, Songezo Zibi, Kenneth Meshoe, and Hlabisa have never given any credit to this man and the new management team at Eskom.

3. Not even a well done. Shocking and disappointing.

4. Instead some like Mmusi joined John Steenhuisen, Michael Beaumont and Andre De Ruyter to spread misinformation about the end of load shedding. They lied that Eskom is burning excessive amounts of diesel to keep the lights on.

5. Luckily Chris Yelland and other experts data when correctly analysed proved they were liarsImage

6. Eskom’s Coal Fleet is performing well

7. John Steenhuisen spreading misinformation
8. Michael Beaumont spreading misinformation
9. Mmusi Maimane spreading misinformation
10. Mail & Guardian spreading misinformation
11. More proof that John Steenhuisen, Michael Beaumont and Mmusi Maimane were intentionally spreading
Misinformation
12. Listen to this interview with Eskom Chair Mteto Nyati

POLITICAL PARTIES & JOURNALISM DISTRACTING US WITH HALF TRUTH NARRATIVES ABOUT ESKOM & DIESEL

📍If Eskom burnt R65billion diesel over 5 years - R13 billion a year to keep the lights on
📍Why don’t they ever tell us how much Eskom burnt for renewable energy (RE) solar and wind IPPs?

📣Let’s see why👇🏽Image
Image
Image
1️⃣ In a landmark judgement on 1 December 2023 when the High Court dismissed the DA’s case claiming that the electricity price hikes was extortionate, the judge accepted this explanation from NERSA and ESKOM and there’s no mention of diesel
2️⃣ The court judgement states facts the court accepted:

[92]       In Eskom’s application to explain the Government policy in accordance with the integrated resource plan of 2019:

‼️ which is to increase significantly the contribution of energy sourced from IPP’s,
‼️this resulted in an upward contribution trend towards allowable revenue over the application of 3 years from IPP’s from 25% to 28%.

‼️ This corresponds to R75 billion, R85 billion and R102 billion for the 3 years respectively.

📣That’s R262 billion burnt on RE IPPs solar and wind over 3 years.
📣Why are parties not slamming Eskom for this?Image

PROOF THAT ONCE THEY HAVE OUR VOTES THEY USE IT TO PASS LAWS TO APPEASE THE WEST & TO MAKE WAY FOR PRIVATE SECTOR PROFITS

💥 PARLIAMENT PASSES THE CLIMATE CHANGE BILL on 25 April 2024 and dead silence from political parties and journalism

🇿🇦 ALL 9 PROVINCES voted in favour of the bill
⁉️The ANC, DA, EFF, IFP, ACDP, GOOD, ATM, FF+ supports the bill. ⁉️Including ActionSA, BOSA, Rise Mzansi, PA,

⚠️ Support for this bill is the complete disregard for our energy security needs and we will continue to see high levels of loadshedding, and extortionate electricity price hikes.
We will see manufacturing suffer.
We will see coal power plants shut down.
We will see industry like steel shut down.
We will see water tariffs soar.
We will see mandatory vaccinations.
We will see them ban curtains foods.
We will become a broken nation if we do not have energy, water and food security.
Our primary security need is energy and that can only be provided with a combination of baseload nuclear, gas and coal with some solar and wind.Image
Image
1️⃣ The President must still sign the Climate Change Bill for final approval.
📣 ANC supporters- did your president inform you of this?
📣 Are you going to vote for a party which prioritizes the climate change agenda of the western nations to advance the business interests of renewable energy?
📣 Or do you want a party that puts the energy security needs of South Africans and the country first? If yes, don’t vote for the ANC if Cyril signs this billImage
2️⃣ WAIT‼️ Look who Parliament tags in the post:
CER (Centre for environmental rights)
📣The NGO that is opposing all forms of our base load energy security and advocates for renewable energy (solar and wind)
📍 They are in court to oppose the proposed new gas power in Richards bay. Without gas our energy security is doomed. The USA and Europe rely on gas, why must we not have gas power?
📍they are opposing 2500MW new nuclear build proposed for the IRP 2023 yet the rest of world is building new nuclear reactors. Nuclear is the cheapest form of primary energy, and is the most environmentally friendly. They are opposing it because the solar and wind is so expensive that if we build nuclear, solar and wind can’t compete with the price. So their sole reason to oppose nuclear is because they are funded by organizations that support renewable energy IPPs.
📍They are pushing to shut down all our coal coal power plants and not extend them even though other countries in Europe, China, India are building new coal power plants
⁉️They also opposed the proposed new nuclear build in the IRP 2011, and it was removed from our energy security plan. And solar and wind replaced it. Since then our electricity tariffs have soared and load shedding has been the worse everImage

🇿🇦 JOURNALISM | AGAIN!
Note the name of the Journalist and the conflict of interest will be revealed at the end of the thread.
Note the narrative:
- must decommision coal
- coal is bad
- pushing renewables

OH MY GOSH! Now that I have done my own reading and educated myself I am horrified to read that this CEO of Eskom called for the aggressive phasing out coal power in favour of renewables - RE IPPs Solar & Wind - which has been the cause of extortionate electricity price hikes and loadshedding!
⚠️How did our government and business and people and UNIONS let this happen!Image
1⃣ We have laughed at Gwede Mantashe, but now that I am a more informed citizen I can assuredly say that what he is quoted as saying - IS RIGHT and IS FOR THE BEST INTEREST OF THE PEOPLE and THE COUNTRY!
‼️FOCUSED
‼️FUNDED
‼️AND PLANNED MAINTENANCE OF EXISTING POWER STATIONSImage
2⃣ Nooooooooh! De Ruyter actually said the country should continue with the decommission plan it had for the power stations that have reached the end of their lifecycle.
‼️Because it was is in line with the agreement the country made at Cop26 to lessen its carbon footprint😱Image

🇿🇦 Team Journalism is begging to save them because they allegedly saved us.

📍But where was journalism when the African Union adopted the African Medicines Agency Treaty - The AMA Treaty in 2019?

📍Why are there no articles, no news reports of the AMA treaty, collaborators and funders?Image
Image
1️⃣ Why does journalism condemn the NHI Bill and remain zipped about the African Medicines Agency Treaty - The AMA Treaty?
📍Are we to assume they didn’t hear / read of the committee meeting in Parliament?
2️⃣ Here’s the AMA Treaty and guess what - none of our political parties will speak about it
📣 Why?

‼️Journalism 📍Health | African Medicines Agency (AMA) 🇿🇦

I was fact checking this DM article written in Dec 2023 and here’s what I found:

😱 The brainchild of the African Medicines Agency (AMA) are not “three bold African women” so why will DM not fact check before publishing?

😱 “The Institution they set out to create” is incorrect because the AMA is the brainchild of complex collaborations of Western & European institutions

⚠️ Read the entire thread to grasp the extent of the “brainchild” of the AMA and AMA TreatyImage
Image
1️⃣ The brainchild of the African Medicines Agency

Mrs Chimwemwe Chamdimba, said,
“The African Medicines Agency has been up and running since 2009 when WE started the African Medicines Regulatory Harmonisation Initiative.” 

❌ False: this conveys the message that the 3 pioneering Black women are the founders of the AMRH but that isn’t true.
❌ Why will the facts be omitted in this article?
❌ What message is being conveyed with 3 bold African Women to promote the African Medicines Agency?Image
Image
2️⃣ Why doesn’t Chambida mention these facts about the creation of the AMRH/AMA?

📣 That the Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Plan for Africa (PMPA) led to the establishment of the AMRH Initiative in 2009

📣 That the AMRH, led by the African Union Development Agency-NEPAD (AUDA-NEPAD) was established in collaboration with:-
📍the National Regulatory Agencies (NRAs),
📍Regional Economic Communities (RECs), 📍the African Union Commission (AUC), Pan African Parliament (PAP),
📍the World Health Organization (WHO),
📍the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF),
📍the World Bank and other development partners.

📣Why did the article omit the names of these key collaborators?Image

South Africa | If you value your right to make informed decisions about your and your children’s healthcare choices and medical treatment then it is time to make some noice and speak out about these unwarranted charges against Dr. Chetty.
📣 His 8th day protocol saved thousands of lives.
📣 Do you hear any patients suing Dr. Chetty for the 8th day protocol?
📣 Why then is the HPCSA charging him?
📣Who will this action protect? The patient or the industry?Image
1️⃣ Do you know that SAHPRA & the NDoh withheld information from us when they approved and recommended the Covid vaccine?
📣 They signed confidential contracts and was aware that the efficacy of the vaccine was unknown
📣 They failed to inform us that the vaccines had unknown side effects some of which could be severe were also unknownImage
2️⃣ they failed to disclose to us that, “The significant known and potential risks and benefits of the
Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine, and the extent to which such risks and
benefits are unknown.” Image
