Jeez, how did the cadres loot so quickly? Bailout gone already...

What a shambles. State of emergency implemented, then withdrawn, exemptions from reporting "irregular spending" granted, then withdrawn. What can one conclude except, sadly, they have no clue and are flailing around in the dark. Despite their generators. Haven't heard much from the electricity minister since the daily speeches and tweets on that magical mystery tour of power stations, perhaps that role will be shelved too?

Happy days.

Has it already been lifted or do we have to remain hyper-vigilant and tensed up until 23:59?

This is what happens when a State of Disaster becomes the norm, but what else can one expect from the ANC?

So now we're going to focus on buying "electricty" from neighbouring countries. No mention of additional SA generation capacity or improving our domestic transmission infrastructure to make better use of our own resources.

#nottherealJan - I wish they'd get it right.

They have secretly done something and we will only find out what when it is too late. So we will be unable to be shocked when their perfidy/deviousness is revealed as there will be no power...

They are too incompetent to have done anything imho, they just thought it was a good idea to make it look like they were doing something, then they realised after the fact that it was illegal as you can't declare a disaster created from your own policies.
