    Gauteng's Lesufi wants to fight crime with 500 drones and cameras everywhere

    I find the comments here lacking vision, if SA got some of those Iranian drones then SAPS can just blow up the criminals in action, no need for police on the ground, prisons, courts,...

    Plan for South Africa's $8.5-billion clean energy funding revealed

    But you do not have the money, beggers can't be choosers. They giving the money solely on the condition its used to offset global emissions. If you can come up with the hundreds of millions to build more Kusiles and Madupis feel free to fund them.

    South Africa’s ‘internet censorship’ laws are now in full effect – and legal notices are going out

    Its amusing how the ANCs communism ideologies does not apply when there's money or power for them to be made, then it's immediately private business that must action. This responsibility should fall squarely on government and within law enforcement that should have a cybersecurity division with...

    FPB flexes "Censorship Bill" and serves ISPs with ultimatum

    Definitely written by a politician with the help of a business man. They can try but the ANC is so corrupt and inept that it is incapable of building or implementing anything including censoring South Africa public networks to the scale of China. Between DoH, HTTP/3, VPNs etc. ISPs are...

    Power cuts under De Ruyter worse than all previous load-shedding combined

    The only thing the board and executive are guilty of is taking the job while the ANC is in charge. Mantshe has been dragging his feet for years trying to prevent renewables or allowing anyone other than Eskom from generating electricity. Only this year did that change and it will take 5-10 years...

    Eskom is in deep financial trouble

    One way or the other the tax payer will have to dish out, if not through increased prices it will be through state bailouts, best that can happen is for distribution and transmission to be spun off into separate businesses and generation to enter business rescue

    Russo-Ukrainian War - 2022 Edition - Part 6

    This is a good take on what could be going on in Putins mind, the US midterms are near gaureenteed to favour Russia and will leave Biden limited in doing anything for the rest of his term. The EU/ UK is already cracking under the pressure on the cost of living and the lack of stiff taxes on oil...

    Eskom plunges South Africa into all-day load-shedding

    If it is indeed sabotage then it's a case of a bullet to ones own foot as its just driving consumers to self generation and accelerating the IPP programme which will eventually leave Eskom with very little generation.

    Eskom plunges South Africa into all-day load-shedding

    What is the underlying cause of recent issues? I believe koeberg is back online so is there specific units who's reliability just went to zero or is it the maintenance schedule or is it the price of diesel?

    Private power companies leasing land from Eskom to provide 2,000MW of renewable electricity

    They probably leasing the land for 10-20 years for next to nothing to encourage investment. Most if not all of this land has probably already got the necessary approvals with anything outstanding being fast tracked. Naturally the only delays would be the feasibility and build but I believe...

    Lesufi talks new engineering school in Soshanguve

    I found this amazing, to me it shows that if kids are given the opportunity they can achieve greatness. Some of the best techies I've met were passionate and curious growing up, the people that pulled apart machines, broke them, then figured out how to put them back together, and fix them. If...
