Only 3 plant left and still going strong.... All of 1 & 2 Plant have been removed....and most of 4 plant...  PTF plant, the most Southern plant commissioned around 1990 is currently being deconstructed......

during the recession 1979 / 80. all the plants were mothballed except no 4 plant . and  to recommission them after rusting away for 2-3 years  , cost many millions of Rands
