South Africa: South Africa Has No Energy Crisis, Says Minister Gwede Mantashe

[Daily Maverick] Just after publishing the wrong version of the Integrated Resource Plan, and with Eskom being forced to admit that more than a third of its infrastructure is broken and cannot be relied on to generate electricity on demand, Mineral Resources and Energy Minister Gwede Mantashe denied South Africa has an energy crisis. 'We have no energy crisis, South Africa has an energy problem that will turn into a disaster if not attended,' said the minister on the sidelines of the media briefing to announce the IRP.
