Article: R250 million for saving Eskom through prayer

Which lawyer in their right mind entertained this BS???
 
I hope they strike this off the roll and kick him out the court.

Having said I am sure in the USA he would have had a decent shot at this.

:D
 
Man sues Eskom over power-saving prayers

Link.

A North West man is claiming R250 million from Eskom for preventing power cuts through his own prayers, Beeld newspaper reported on Wednesday.

Nelson Thabo Modupe, of Lichtenburg, has argued that he prevented power cuts during the 2010 Soccer World Cup through his prayers.

He is a member of the Zion Christian Church.

In a letter to Eskom, he said the main reason for load-shedding was lightning and wind, and that he had taken it upon himself to pray to God and ask that no power cuts take place.

As a result, Eskom now owes him R250m, because he saved the power utility the burden and humiliation of load shedding.

Alternatively, Eskom can offer him a partnership in the company.

The claim has been placed on the court roll in the North West High Court for Thursday.

:erm:
 
Onus would be on the judge to chase this moron out of the court or detain him for being a fscking retard.
 
So charge him for failing to prevent load-shedding otherwise :P
 
Hehe, I wish I was the guy who opened that letter. That must have made his day.

The world owes me 1 billion dollars for not exploding in a fireball, I just prayed that never happens :whistle:
 
Its obvious this guy doesn't have any money, would he end up in jail for wasting the court's time, or will he have to pay Eskom's lawyers?
