South Africa still on board Mmamabula

Thursday, February 21, 2008

Minister of Minerals, Energy and Water Resources, Ponatshego 'PHK' Kedikilwe, was not only assured by Eskom that it will not switch off Botswana but the government has also assured him that South Africa is still with Botswana over the multi billion Pula Mmamabula Export Power project.

Kedikilwe told a BOCCIM Energy Pitso on Monday that despite fears that South Africa might abandon the Mmamabula Coal Fired Energy project, Botswana's giant neighbour would not ditch it.

"They wanted the project 'yesterday' despite the Medupe project and Mpumalanga", he assured the BOCCIM council. Mpumalanga is home to South Africa's coal fired power stations contributing approximately 70 percent of the total electricity generated in South Africa by Eskom.
