- In South Africa-- rolling power outages of more than 10 hours a day are hampering businesses and economic growth.
The government has given no indication of when the energy crisis will be resolved. This is how Botswana can help South Africa to solve the Power Crisis

As a south africa we love Botswana 🇧🇼..please help us.
As much as it would be nice to do, Botswana goes through sporadic power cuts too, mainly in the north
Black country helping black country this is refreshing
We need to understand that Botswana is a well oiled, well governed country. Though that country is small, their currency has more value than the RAND. Tells us something about this rotten Gov't of ours. Botswana also has a Black Gov't but the do things the right way.
Love you tota
If SA had not sabotaged the Mma-Mabula coal fired power project, they would get even more power from Botswana.
Thats what we call good neighbourhood
We cannot let our brothers and sisters suffer while we have surplus, thank your Mr President for helping SA
Botswana is a country with less than two million people, there largest city will just be a town here. So there electricity generation must be small. If they do help we most likely wouldn't even notice it. But thank you for the gesture.
This is mad disrespectful, have you been to Gaborone?
This is not how you thank people helping.
SA Government must stop the crime within ESCOM, say will continue within South Africa!!!!
Come as a unit Africa! Help each other out and any other African who has a debt to a foreign Country, Africa should buy these debt! You can’t lose your resources to foreigners
Only God can save South Africa people need to turn away from their wicked ways and acknowledge God in parliament and schools and put him first . Everyone wants peace everyone wants the economy to work. But they forget one thing. There will never be any peace and prosperity. They need to put God first.
How?
@@loratotv4960 repent and turn from their wicked ways
lovely
yeah good one you fellas
The sad part is that with all that surplus we still experience constant power cuts/load shedding
Sorry about that dear
No we don't experience any power cut, they only do that when they are fixing something, and they inform the public first
I don't know which part of the country u live in..but where I'm at we do experience power cuts..regularly..like every week..kana ke raya mo motlakase o tsamayang phakela obo o tla bosigo
Where in Botswana? There is no load-shedding in Gabs or anywhere up north.
Lentsweletau and Morwa for instance ...every week there are power cuts..just yesterday here in Morwa there was no electricity from motshegare till bosigo..this is a constant thing..u can't tell me they have something to fix every week..that's just bullshit ...it's load shedding go iphihlwa ka monwana..stop trying to justify this shit
That wont happen at all South Africa will save itself but we will see
I wish it be that way 🇿🇦🇿🇦
Though I don't know either we will afford it or not cos I was told at Botswana that their electricity is too expensive
There are daily blackouts in Botswana. How can we supply electricity to another country when we are also suffering 🤷🏽♂️
Hahaha...but they wanted your help
Not where I live. There hasn't been any load-shedding since 2015.
Daily? Where do you stay
Give ❌
Sell✔
Hahaha...thanks Boss!
Botswana is a small country with a small population. Not sure they can supply us much. At least the trying to help.
Trying to help
Not U.S. dollar . Tell us the price in your Country currency . Pls
An average 3-bedroom house with a hot-water geyser will use around 15 Botswana Pula (P15) or 21 South African Rand (R21) or slightly over 1 American dollar per day. For an entire month's electricity use, you should budget around P400 or R555 or US$30 for a similar-sized house. Nice and cheap! Happy? 😊
Lots of disinformation here. The excess electricity that Botswana generates is not enough to power a single city in South Africa. Let me try and a give a summary on the power grid and its dynamics in our region. In times gone by before other countries had their own power generation companies, Eskom established a power grid in Southern Africa which supplied power to countries in our region. In 1995 after South Africa had its first democratic elections and became a fully fledged member of SADEC, a power company was established under SADEC's control with agreements that all countries should take control of power generations within their own countries with the proviso that whatever excess electricity was generated from a particular country, that excess electricity should be pushed into the common power pool for the use of all of our countries. (With compensation to the country that generated the electricity of course).
That agreement is still in place. Because Eskom is the biggest electricity generation company within the region, agreements were made that it will continue to supply a set amount of electricity to the neighbouring countries up until the power generation companies in the other countries were able to generate enough electricity for their specific needs. That is why even when South Africa started having challenges to meet all of its electricity obligations within South Africa, they were obliged to supply electricity to the other countries without fail. Eskom was compensated for this by the recipient countries.
Botswana continued to meet its financial obligations and continued to receive its allotted amount of Electricity despite loadshedding in South Africa. Zimbabwe on the other hand could not meet its financial obligations because of the financial sanctions imposed by the west on that country. It came to a stage where Eskom was forced to ration the power supply to Zimbabwe except for critical needs of that country.
Fast forward to 2023, Botswana became a net producer of electricity such that they are now in a position to meet their current electricity needs within the country and are able to push electricity to the common grid for which they are compensated for.
I am confident and trust that the Botswana power supply company has capable management and pray that they will not fall into the same trap that South Africa is in when they eventually roll out electricity supply to the rest of Botswana to the same extent that South Africa is. In other words as Botswana continues to expand supply to the rest of the country, they will continue to meet the increased demand that those expansion will require.
Hahaha...not enough but can it help in a way? What prompted the idea of dialogue between the two countries in the first place, knowing very well that Botswana can't even generate enough to power a singlecity in SA? I want to learn more. Thanks for your update. Love from Botswana
@@loratotv4960 the first obligation of the BPC (Botswana Power Corporation) is to meet the energy needs of Botswana 🇧🇼 and then secondary push excess power generated to the SAPP (Southern Africa Power Pool) as per standing agreements of which they are compensated. They have still got a long way to go to get the whole of Botswana electrified to the same extent as South Africa. They should not amend current agreements to favor one country in the common grid over securing the energy needs of Botswana.
As it stands currently, the excess generated by Botswana is still very miniscule compared to what is currently being shed by South Africa 🇿🇦.
Botswana gets power from Zambia. When Zambia extended its power grid to Botswana in 1986, the Zimbabwean government went to the donors and convinced them to route the power lines through Zimbabwe
What a cooked story and a foolish story . Do you mean Zim took your power too. The mentioning of donors is it necessary? What does the donor have to do with Botswana electricity. Botswana is a very small population they don't need much electricity. 400MW is too much for them .
@@recallchannel3258 You are an id!ot. I was a undergrad EE student what this happened, and we all lamented that Zimbabwe could impose itself on the Nordic countries to take a power that should have gone directly from Zambia to Botswana and make it have to go through their grid. This is not the last time they did this nonsense. If you were less ignorant than you manifesting, you would know that when Zambia and Botswana decided to build the Kanzungula bridge, Zimbabwe publicly committed itself to destroy the project, acknowledging that the traffic from Zambia and DRC pays 70% of the tolls through Beit Bridge. Zimbabwe went as far as going to the United Nations, to solicit that Zambia has no border with Botswana, and that any bridge build between the two would therefore have pass over Zimbabwean land, and they were denying the permission. Zambia and Botswana had to curve the bridge westwards, over Namibia to avoid the childishness of Zimbabwe. This cost the 2 countries an additional $10 million in bridge costs. When the bridge was constructed, the president of Zimbabwe then convinced his countrymen, that Zimbabwe was going to get a share in the bridge.
Its no longer 1986 my brother
We make our own electricity boeti😂😂😂
@@DangeistYT Where are you from? Bechuanaland? How much electricity does Botswana import?
Statistics on Electricity Generation and Distribution up to third quarter 2021 show that of Botswana's 424,703 MWh of imported electricity, 53.7 percent comes from Eskom, 26.7 percent from Zesco, 13.1 percent from SAPP, 4.8 percent cross border and 1.7 percent from Nampower.Aug 2, 2022 from Google search of Botswana electricity imports
Like, comment, and share
South Africa will buy the electricity try to correct your language 😂😂......
If i had said buy, you wouldn't comment...hahaha...thanks anyways...love from Botswana
