Using emergency powerships to solve the energy crisis sounds like a great idea, so what’s the problem with the Karpowerships?

As South Africa continues limping through electricity black outs, Minister Gwede Mantashe’s Department of Energy and Mineral Resources is moving ahead with an ‘emergency’ procurement of electricity from gas powerships. But the deal is fraught with problems and likely not the solution South Africa needs.

Presented by one of SA’s most loved comics, KG Mokgadi, and featuring a cameo by popular SA YouTube satirist, Bearleii Sober, the latest episode of Politically Aweh joins the dots with the help of Dr Roland Ngam, the programme manager for Climate Justice & Socio-Ecological Transformation at the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation.
