Using emergency powerships to solve load shedding sounds like a great idea. So what's the problem with the Karpowership energy deal?

As South Africa continues limping through electricity black outs, energy 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 transition at the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation.
