The Real Reason Load Shedding Ended - Episode #86
from Daily Bagel · host Bagel Media
In Today's Show: Load-shedding may have ended (for now), but it’s not quite the victory Eskom’s claiming. While South Africans have powered ahead with a wave of private solar, Eskom’s recovery leans on long-delayed maintenance and a diesel bill that’s ballooned to record levels. We also unpack the new law aimed at restoring trust in South Africa’s shaky statistics, and why experts say the country’s R26 billion skills system needs a total rethink. And in the wildcard, we head 2,000 kilometres south to the sub-Antarctic islands most South Africans don’t even know they own.More From Us:SpotifyApple PodcastYouTubeInstagramTikTok
