How to improve your marks

Tip #11:

Allow plenty of time for revision

If you’re achieving lower scores than you’d hoped for on timed tests or mock exams, it could be because you’re not allowing enough time for revising for them. This may be because you know it’s not ‘the real thing’, but practice exams are just as important as real ones. They show you which areas you need to spend more time on, and achieving good grades in them will give you a confidence boost. Treat them as seriously as you would a real exam, allowing yourself plenty of time to revising for them. Better still, revise everything you learn as you go along, so that you learn it properly first time round and have less need for revision. Also, be sure to read our articles on effective revision techniques for science students and humanities students.

Mashatile promises procurement of emergency power to mitigate load shedding

Deputy President Paul Mashatile has reiterated that government would procure emergency power to mitigate the impact of load shedding.

He said this would include the use of power ships.
Transport Minister Sindi Chikunga has already approved that Karpowerships can dock in Richards Bay, Saldanha Bay and Ngqura in the Eastern Cape.
Mashatile, who was visiting East London on Saturday, said officials would not decommission power stations.
He said they will not transition in the dark and it was their intention to keep the lights on.
Mashatile said South Africa must not be rushed to transition from coal to clean energy, saying that it would happen, but this would be done at their own pace.
Mashatile admitted that load shedding has had a huge impact on households, businesses and the economy.
But government was not folding its arms as it wanted to procure emergency power.
“Just to mention a few things we are doing, we are going to procure emergency power. That decision has been taken. It’s something similar to something that Mr Gwede Mantashe tried before and somebody fought him. I can’t remember who. But somebody fought him. We have gone back, we have said to him go back there we support you. We are busy procuring. Don’t be surprised when you see some ship not far from here. We think we should do that because we need to keep the lights on,” said Mashatile.
Minister of Electricity Kgosientsho Ramokgopa and President Cyril Ramaphosa have said they would not decommission coal-fired power stations.
Mashatile said they will implement the Just Energy Transition, but this will be done at South Africa’s pace.
“We will use our coal and let me qualify what I mean by that. We have coal-fired power stations. When we transit to clean energy, the Just Energy Transition, people say we must close down our power stations. We don’t have a problem with that, but we are not going to close them now. We are going to close them slowly.
“What we are going to do. We are going to check this gives us megawatts, whether it’s 1 000MW, we keep it. If it needs to be fixed, we fix it so that we get the necessary electricity we need to power our economy. Not that we are resisting to go where everybody is going. I said when I was addressing businesspeople on Friday last week, we can’t be expected to transition in the dark. We can’t do that,” said Mashatile.
He said this is the way that South Africa will move away from coal to clean energy.
“The President said we will do this at our own pace, taking into account our own interests. What are our interests? To ensure that we have enough energy for our people,” said Mashatile.
