[Yegon Emmanuel @yegonemmanuel_]

When you go on to train journalists from different countries who have years of experience in their fields, such feedback gives you purpose and reason to continue doing it! Last week I got the opportunity to train journalists from across Africa on #MobileJournalism in an @iaj_za training dubbed #JournoWritersGym that they were executing for @WorldBank
A majority of the journalists were writers, and just a few TV producers. This is what they had to say about the training. @timsetabelo #journalism #training #africa @LaviniaEngel #OurStoriesAreBestToldByUs

Even as planned maintenance has held steady at 10%, breakdowns have risen exponentially. Whereas 10% planned maintenance was once considered the gold standard, this is seemingly no longer enough to rein in a fleet that is racing towards decay.

[amaBhungane @amaBhungane]

The source of the current crisis is the steady decline of Eskom’s once mighty coal fleet. Forced to keep running without proper maintenance, the coal-fired stations are now, on average, only available to produce electricity 55% of the time.

[1/4] A dire warning from independent research group Meridian Economics: Load-shedding could get much, MUCH worse in the next four years:
#Loadshedding

[3/4]“We're concerned that the Minister is going around saying, ‘Yeah, well we've got all these procurement programmes in place, it's all going to be fine.’ It's not. We've got very big problems.”

- Grové Steyn of Meridian Economics on #Loadshedding

[amaBhungane @amaBhungane]

“Has anybody added all the numbers up to see whether it is going to solve loadshedding? We've added up the numbers ... and we can see that in the basecase, we don't solve loadshedding in most plausible scenarios.”
