From today's BusinessDay:
But let’s get the history right, lest Eskom gets away with what might come to be recorded as an act of sabotage against the effort a decade ago to bring the private sector onto its turf.

...it struggled to get vital information from Eskom in order to draw up a credible tender document. And why? Well, that’s simple — Eskom resented the possible intrusion of foreign utilities into its market, and deliberately dragged its heels supplying information about power generation to the government.

At least the papers are finally getting more aggressive and spelling out the truth, it almost seemed like they were holding back before.
 
I think everyone is pi$$ed off!

Derek Watts was doing his raving nana in Carte Blanche last night: "But thats not what I asked!"
"Why aren't you answering the question I asked?"
 
The view from the helicopter of the power stations depleted coal reserves was very revealing. However, I thought the main part of the program was far too one-sided as they only interviewed white people. The program was in danger of sounding that this was a whinging-white problem. Why didn't they interview any black people, who are also clearly affected by this issue?

Why did Eskom not send their black CEO is more of a question.

There was a report of trains being set alight by black commuters. They are also clearly very unhappy. What about the Black waitress at Spur who is going to have difficulty making ends meet because she is not getting tips as they are turning customers away?

Its that Zanu-PF mentality that worries me. They'll vote regardless of how the people in power treat them. Its like an abused wife that keeps going back to her husband. I don't understand it.

Its totally illogical but that's why the government will continue to do what they want, they've got nothing to lose.

O/T: I see we have an Eskom subforum now. :)
