Seemingly, because Karadeniz believed powerful businesswoman Anna Mokgokong could help Karpowership secure the approvals it desperately needed from government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Karpowership SA \u2013 a joint venture between Karadeniz and Powergroup SA \u2013 won the majority of the Risk Mitigation Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme (RMI4P) tender to supply dispatchable (on demand) power to Eskom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 20-year contract is conservatively estimated to be worth R218-billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But recently the partnership has soured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Karadeniz and its BEE partner clashed in the Johannesburg high court last month. Powergroup wanted the court to reinstate its 49% stake in the scandal-plagued deal after Karadeniz exercised a call option and kicked its empowerment partners out of the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Powergroup lost the urgent application \u2013 after Judge Shanaaz Mia ruled that the horse had bolted \u2013 but succeeded in exposing a secret agreement between Karadeniz and Mokgokong\u2019s BHI Energy, which Powergroup\u2019s advocate, Tembeka Ngcukaitobi, described as \u201cState Capture on steroids\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although counsel for Karadeniz told the judge this allegation was \u201creckless\u201d and \u201cwithout merit\u201d, a closer look at the scheme of the agreement suggests Ngcukaitobi was not simply being dramatic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The confidential memorandum of understanding (MOU), drafted in November last year, detailed how Karadeniz would help BHI Energy to acquire the 49% stake of the Karpowership deal held, at the time, by the unsuspecting Powergroup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For her part, Mokgokong was asked to deliver three things: funding, a stake in a new liquified natural gas (LNG) terminal planned for the Port of Ngqura, and help securing the outstanding permits Karpowership desperately needed from government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mokgokong is the chair of Seriti Resources, which took over Anglo American\u2019s portfolio of coal mines that supply Eskom. Her own company, Community Investment Holdings, has a substantial portfolio of mining, energy and healthcare assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mokgokong blasted Ngcukaitobi\u2019s description of the deal as \u201cState Capture on steroids\u201d, calling it \u201cfalse, defamatory and \u2026 calculated to cause embarrassment to BHI, myself and the companies that I represent\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI categorically deny any inference of wrongdoing on the part of BHI, myself or any company that I represent,\u201d she told us in a written response this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI reject the false narrative that has been created by Powergroup and its advisors. The narrative created by them has clearly been designed to detract from the real issue between them and Karadeniz and is a calculated attempt by Powergroup to mislead the court, the press and the general public.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As we asked more questions, she got annoyed: \u201cI still have to deal with exhausting e mails from you like I\u2019ve nothing to do all day,\u201d she wrote on Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the devil \u2013 as is so often the case \u2013 is in the detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And what it suggests is that Mokgokong has been the beneficiary of a series of questionable decisions that will help realise energy minister Gwede Mantashe\u2019s dream of making the Eastern Cape the \u201cgas capital of the country\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Outstanding permits<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When the Sunday Times broke the story on 13 August of Mokgokong\u2019s attempt to move in on the Karpowership deal, the paper reported she delivered a barefaced denial that she was interested in acquiring Powergroup\u2019s 49% stake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Read the Sunday Times report: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timeslive.co.za\/sunday-times\/news\/2023-08-13-power-struggle-over-bee-billions\/\">Power struggle over \u2018BEE billions\u2019<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yet the draft MOU shows that as far back as November last year, Karadeniz and Mokgokong were working \u201cto explore the legal, commercial, and financial structures in order for BHI to hold 49% of the shares of Karpowership SA\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In terms of what Mokgokong would be expected to bring to table, the draft of the MOU reads: \u201cBHI will organise necessary meetings with competent authorities \u2026 to obtain necessary licences and permits for the prompt implementation of the RMI4P Projects and Karpower will assist BHI and provide all necessary information to enable BHI to obtain the same.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the time, Karpowership needed two types of permits: environmental permits from the Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment (DFFE), and a Section 79 directive from then-Minister of Transport Fikile Mbalula granting access to build infrastructure in the ports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mokgokong should not have been in a position to help with either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAny suggestion that BHI would exercise any form of \u2018influence\u2019 is simply misleading,\u201d Mokgokong told us via email last week. \u201cAs [our company] has been involved in the gas space for more than a decade, it has relationships with many services providers, consultants etc. whom all have dealt with regulatory matters. Any \u2018assistance\u2019 that could possibly be brought to the table is by way of existing relationships with these service providers and consultants.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although the \u201ccompetent authorities\u201d clause was cut from the final MOU signed in February, she added: \u201cThere is also nothing wrong with assisting [Karpowership] by means of referring [them] to the suitable qualified experts to assist them with obtaining regulatory approvals.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the draft agreement does not say that Mokgokong would refer Karpowership to consultants and experts; it says she would organise meetings with \u201ccompetent authorities\u201d, i.e. government officials tasked with issuing the permits the company desperately needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both DFFE and Mbalula told us that no approaches were made by Mokgokong or her companies to discuss Karpowership outstanding permits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yet on 26 February, in one of his last acts as minister, Mbalula issued a Section 79 to Karpowership and Mulilo Total, another of the RMI4P projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe granting of the Ministerial Direction was based on the application lodged by Karpowership and Mulilo Total Coega\u2026 The evaluation conducted on the applications was solely based on what is provided for in law and no third party interests had any bearing on the decision,\u201d he told us over WhatsApp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But a closer inspection shows the Section 79 contains a caveat: \u201cThe Direction for the Port of Ngqura is subject to the use of the LNG facility which the Strategic Fuel Fund will build.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why is this important? Because Mokgokong\u2019s company stands to benefit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Ngqura-Coega LNG Terminal <\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The second part of the deal outlined in the \u201cconfidential\u201d draft MOU was an offer for Karpowership to participate in a new LNG Terminal planned for the Port of Ngqura.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mokgokong has spent years pursuing this deal through her company Tamasa Investment Holdings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tamasa\u2019s proposal is to build an onshore regasification terminal, where concentrated LNG can be converted back into natural gas that can be burned to produce electricity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a 2015 presentation, her company wrote that it believed that South Africa \u201cstrategically and politically needed a LNG Regasification Terminal. With the energy crisis we find ourselves in \u2026 our LNG project is not only VITAL but IMPERATIVE.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But to land the imported LNG, which would arrive by ship, Tamasa needed permission to build infrastructure in the Port of Ngqura, outside Gqeberha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Enter Mbalula<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Port access rights are granted in one of two ways: through a competitive tender process (in terms of section 56 of the National Ports Act), or through a direct appeal to the Minister of Transport to issue a directive in terms of Section 79.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is debate about the extent of the minister\u2019s powers under Section 79. One interpretation is that he can only instruct Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA) to run a competitive bidding process. The other, is that he can instruct TNPA to issue port access rights to a specific company if it is deemed to be in the national interest \u2013 a situation fraught with potential for abuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And Tamasa was not the only company that wanted access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2020, PetroSA, a subsidiary of the state-owned Central Energy Fund, had signed its own memorandum with Russia\u2019s Gazprombank to explore the possibility of jointly building an onshore regasification hub in the Port of Ngqura, then estimated to cost R7-billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Read the Sunday Times report: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timeslive.co.za\/sunday-times\/news\/2020-05-31-inside-south-africas-new-energy-deal-with-moscow\/\">Inside South Africa&#8217;s new energy &#8216;deal&#8217; with Moscow<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The agreement did not guarantee Gazprom the contract but did say that the two state-owned companies would \u201cco-operate with each other and jointly evaluate the development, construction and operation of the \u2026 project\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And there had been interest from other international players after the Central Energy Fund issued a request for information, a precursor to a tender, in November 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In January 2022, Mbalula announced he would grant port access rights to another subsidiary of the Central Energy Fund: \u201cThe Strategic Fuel Fund will construct an onshore Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) regasification facility at the Port of Ngqura. This investment is of national importance as it responds to energy policy and energy security of the country. The total project value is estimated at US$1.5 billion [R30-billion],\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u201cState Capture on steroids\u201d<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The reason Ngcukaitobi referred to the Karadeniz\u2019 draft MOU as \u201cState Capture on steroids\u201d was that Mokgokong appeared to be offering to \u201cexchange a state asset\u201d, i.e. a stake in SFF\u2019s planned LNG terminal in Ngqura, \u201cfor a private interest\u201d, i.e. shares in Karpowership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAll these exchanges and <em>quid pro quo<\/em> concerning state assets were done without the knowledge, nevermind the consent, of the State,\u201d Powergroup alleged in its heads of argument.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mokgokong tells a very different story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTamasa was required to apply for a Section 79 directive\u201d \u2013 in order to realise its long-held dream of building an onshore regasification terminal,\u201d she told us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Strategic Fuel Fund [SFF] applied for its own Section 79 directive after Tamasa\u2019s application resulting in the Minister of Transport granting the Section 79 directive to the SFF with the understanding that the project will be a collaborative project between Tamasa and the SFF.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mbalula confirmed this but said it was more official than a mere \u201cunderstanding\u201d: \u201cThe Direction was issued to both Tamasa and SFF based on the agreement they concluded and duly informed the Department that the project would be executed by both parties.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But Mbalula stressed that he had not played matchmaker: \u201cThe process of engagement between Tamasa and SFF was not an initiation of the Minister, it was an initiative that was started by both parties (Tamasa and SFF), and it was only after their agreement that the Department was informed of the intention to withdraw individual applications and be replaced by one application by both parties.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One problem with this \u2013 and there are many \u2013 is that Mbalula had handed Tamasa, a private company, coveted port access rights and with it, the right to develop an LNG terminal without any competitive tender process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Karpowership\u2019s case, Mbalula had granted the Section 79 only after the company was awarded the lion\u2019s share of the RMI4P tender and after it was designated a \u201cstrategic integrated project\u201d of national importance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tamasa had neither of these, but would now hold the keys to the gas industry in the Eastern Cape for the next 20 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTamasa will build, operate, own and then, in due course, transfer the asset to the SFF,\u201d Mokgokong told us. Until that happens, Ngcukaitobi\u2019s suggestion that the proposed deal with Karadeniz involved \u201cthe \u2018exchange a state asset\u2019 is simply false\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The farce<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Central Energy Fund did eventually release a tender for the Ngqura-Coega LNG Terminal Project, but only in August 2022, after Tamasa had already secured the \u201cunderstanding\u201d and that it would develop the terminal with SFF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The request for proposal called for a private company to \u201cdevelop, finance, construct, operate and maintain LNG and gas midstream infrastructure to enable the importation of LNG into the Port of Ngqura\u201d for the next 15 to 20 years before finally transferring ownership to the Central Energy Fund.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Until then, the state would hold a minority stake \u2013 \u201ccurrently anticipated to be between 5% and 10%\u201d. The Central Energy Fund would also \u201cinvest\u201d an undisclosed amount in the project, the document reads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the assets the new terminal developer would be given was the Section 79 awarded to SFF and \u2013 although the document did not say it out loud \u2013 Tamasa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tamasa submitted a bid and by the time the tender closed in November 2022, Mokgokong was already confidently offering to swop a stake in the LNG terminal for a stake in the Karpowership project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unsurprisingly, Tamasa was awarded the contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Friday, Eastern Cape premier Oscar Mabuyane announced that the Central Energy Fund and Tamasa would build an LNG terminal in the Port of Ngqura, now estimated to cost R13.6-billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How Karpowership fits in<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mokgokong had what she wanted. So why get embroiled in the controversial albeit lucrative Karpowership deal?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The problem with building a R13.6-billion LNG terminal in the relative backwaters of the Eastern Cape, is someone needs to be willing to buy the gas. If Karpowership gets the go-ahead, its 450MW floating powerplant in the port of Ngqura will need gas for the next 20 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In its bid for the RMI4P project, Karpowership said Shell would provide LNG which would be pumped through a floating storage regasification unit (FSRU) moored in the harbour. But the caveat in Mbalula\u2019s Section 79 now means that Karpowership will now be forced to source gas from Tamasa\u2019s onshore LNG terminal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is logic to this decision. The port can only accommodate one FSRU \u2013 granting port access rights to Karpowership risked sterilising the port for any other gas users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But it was also the second time that Mbalula had bestowed a significant benefit on Mokgokong\u2019s company: first, by all but ensuring Tamasa will build the terminal, then, when he issued the second Section 79 tying Karpowership\u2019s port access to Tamasa, guaranteeing it a major customer for the next 15 to 20 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mbalula reiterated that \u201cdue process was followed\u201d in issuing the two Section 79 directives, while Mokgokong downplayed the benefit Tamasa will receive: \u201cIt would appear that Karpowership&#8217;s involvement in South Africa is likely to be shorter than the [20-year] term\u2026 If that transpires, then there will be almost no benefit from the section 79 directive as the SFF terminal will only be completed in four to five years&#8217; time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Electricity minister Kgosientso Ramakgopa has floated the idea of reducing Karpowership\u2019s contract from 20 years to five, given that the \u201cemergency\u201d power contract is hugely expensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But there appears to be little political backing for such a renegotiation and even Karpowership acknowledged, in an interview with eTV\u2019s Annika Larsen in July, that government is yet to make any formal proposal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The gas capital of the country<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the contrary, if the Eastern Cape is to become of the \u201cgas capital of the country\u201d, as Mantashe has suggested, Karpowership needs to get its power project over the line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The LNG terminal, which will feed Karpowership\u2019s project, could eventually be supplied with gas from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gem.wiki\/Paddavissie_Fairway_Oil_and_Gas_Complex_(South_Africa)\">Paddavissie<\/a> offshore gas field being developed by TotalEnergies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the terminal risks becoming a white elephant if there is no one to buy its product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Karpowership declined to respond to our questions, including whether being forced to use the SFF\/Tamasa LNG Terminal will alter the cost of the electricity it plans to generates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When Karpowership responded to the RMI4P tender, LNG prices were at a record-low of $2\/MMBTU, which allowed it to offer electricity to Eskom at R1.47\/kWh. More recently though, Karpowership has said it believes $10\/MMBTU is more realistic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In terms of the rules of the RMI4P tender, the price of gas gets passed on to Eskom and, increasingly, to electricity users who cannot afford to install solar panels and batteries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Central Energy Fund also ignored our questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The only person who did respond was Mokgokong, although she became defensive the more we probed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe have been pioneers in the LNG space second to Sasol that has enjoyed a monopoly in the country without any eyebrow raising by the media,\u201d she wrote in one of her last free-wheeling emails. \u201cI\u2019m saddened as to why my great work is being questioned.
