What nonsense. The ANC are a bastion of ethics and morality; a proud people with eyes fixed on progress and enlightenment.

What grates me about these guys is they state the obvious when they’ve had plenty time to speak the truth.

Who is in charge buddy ?

Anyway we all know that Eskom mismanagement was only 1 of the causes of loadshedding

 

[Bad Ballie]

But we knew this years ago...

Correct, the first round of load shedding was created to enable Eskom to bypass tender rules and use emergency clauses to enable state capture, the finding was published at the time. People have very short memories.

The first signs of Eskom issues started in and during the 1995 rugby world cup in SA. It started faltering then and just got worse over the years.

How they, the anc, "managed" it from there on in is another story and this could be part of the frogs in a boiling pot plan to get rid of the whites in SA.

 

[ShaunSA]

Can the ANC elders please stfu and sit down

 

[Tantus]

I wonder if he advised them to eat beetroot and garlic to end load-shedding?

 

[Hemi300c]

Can the ANC elders please stfu and sit down

That would then make their whole exec and cabinet and mayors and councillors very quiet

And the problem is?

And the problem is?

Then they would appear redundant and people will start asking themselves "why do we vote?".
