Apr 30, 2009:
VARIOUS southern African countries have pledged to help ensure an adequate power supply for the 2010 Soccer World Cup.
The Southern African Power Pool (SAPP) made the pledge yesterday in Maputo, Mozambique.
Countries that make up the SAPP include Angola, Botswana, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Swaziland, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
Eskom said their support would help ensure a reliable electricity supply during the 2009 Confederations Cup and the 2010 Fifa Soccer World Cup.
Commercial agreements would be negotiated and signed separately between the various SAPP members and Eskom.
A targeted amount of the power supplied would be “green power”.
Eskom Project 2010 unit managing director Johnny Dladla said the initiative confirms that 2010 is “truly” an African event. — Sapa
