Eyezimayini zamalahle isikwesinye isigaba
Inkampani yaseNingizimu Afrika yezimayini zamalahle, iSeriti Resources, yenze isivumelwano sokuthola ingxenye enkulu yeWindlab, i-Africa’s wind, kanye nempahla esebenza ngamandla elanga. Ukuthengwa kwezigidi ezingama-R892 kuyingxenye yemizamo yamasu yomvukuzi yokwandisa ukwedlula iphothifoliyo yakhe yempahla yamalahle kanye nendawo yamandla avuselelekayo.
ISeriti izoba nentshisekelo yokulawula yama-51%, kanti ama-49% asele azohlukaniselwa ozakwabo, okuyiStandard Bank, iRand Merchant Bank, iNtiso Investment Holdings kanye ne-CEO yeWindlab uPeter Venn. ISeriti Green, inkampani engaphansi kweSeriti Resources, kulindeleke ukuthi iqale ukwakha amapulazi omoya eMpumalanga azokhiqiza amagigawathi amathathu omoya kanye nogesi welanga ngo-2030. Lo mklamo kulindeleke ukuthi uvule ukutshalwa kwezimali kwezigidigidi ezingama-R75.
Isikhulu sakwaSeriti uMike Teke (osesithombeni)sithi ukuthengwa kwempahla kuyaseseka isu lenkampani lokuba yibhizinisi lamandla ahlukahlukene. “Asinyakazi ekuzibophezeleni kwethu ekubeni ngumvukuzi wamalahle kodwa osekwenzekile eminyakeni edlule wukuthi imibuzo emqoka ebuzwayo ithi, ngabe uzohlala ungumvukuzi wamalahle yini yonke? Futhi esikushoyo ukuthi sishintshela enkampanini yamandla. Inkampani ebonayo ukuthi ngenkathi siqhuba ibhizinisi lezimayini zamalahle, akhona amathuba endaweni yamandla. Futhi amathuba ahlanganisa ukutshala imali elanga, ukutshala imali emoyeni, ukutshala ezinye izinhlobo zamandla avuselelekayo.”
UVenn uthi bahlela ukukhiqiza igigawathi eyodwa yamandla ezinyangeni eziyi-12 ezizayo. “IWindlab ithole umhlaba obalulekile eMpumalanga wokwakha ipayipi elikhona njengamanje ngaphandle kokuthola umhlaba wakwaSeriti Resources. Kodwa okwesibili, kunohlelo lokubheka konke lokho, ikakhulukazi izimayini ezingase ziqale ukungena esigabeni sokuyekiswa, ziphinde zivumele lezo, ikakhulukazi ukubheka iPV yelanga kanye nokugcinwa kwamabhethri emhlabeni waseSeriti kuyingxenye yepayipi njengoba siya phambili. Kudingeka siqonde ukuthi kukhona amagigawathi ayisithupha okufinyelela kugridi okwamanje.”
IRand Merchant Bank ithi isivumelwano siwukugunyaza okudingekayo kubunikazi babantu abamnyama endaweni yamandla avuselelekayo. “Ngezingxoxo eziningi nohulumeni, enye yezingqinamba ezinkulu abebebhekene nazo wukwakhiwa kwe-IPP yaseNingizimu Afrika ephethwe ngabantu abamnyama ngempela. Kule minyaka engu-12 edlule, njengoba nazi, isikhala besigcwele abadlali base-Europe, futhi ngathi ukweseka uSeriti ukuhlanganisa yonke le nto kuyinto enkulu kuRMB,” kusho uKwabena Malgas webhange. Njengamanje iWindlab yengamele amaGW angu-3.5 emiklamo yamandla avuselelekayo ezigabeni ezehlukene zentuthuko eNingizimu Afrika nasempumalanga ye-Afrika.
