Koeberg Unit 1 finally back online: Professor Sampson Mamphweli

After almost a year of being out of action - Unit 1 of the Koeberg nuclear power station near Cape Town is back online.

Eskom said last night that the unit had been synchronised successfully with the power grid.

Koeberg is the country's only nuclear power station and it generates about 5% of Eskom's total power output.

While unit 1 is back the Minister in the Presidency has bemoaned other grid losses which means South Africa remains in stage 3 in terms of rolling blackouts today.

To discuss we're joined by Professor Sampson Mamphweli from the South African National Energy Development Institute.
