At least you don’t have 10-hour load shedding

South Africans who complain about load shedding can thank their lucky stars that they are not living in Zambia at the moment.

 

[AstroTurf]

Yet...

 

[P924]

Thank goodness somebody is worse off than us!

 

[Moosedrool]

Piss poor attempt at trying to make people living in South-Africa optimistic.

Exactly.

being the best of the worst, still makes you a loser

That's like saying syphilis is the best STD to have. Nice attempt, but we're still in trouble.

Zuma himself said we shouldn't think like Africans in Africa generally, 'cos we’re in Johannesburg. Our loadshedding isn't some “national loadshedding in Malawi” or Zambia for that matter.

The apartheid government built good infrastructure, pity the ANC was to dumb to maintain it.

I agree... heard same crap being spewed on the radio today when the rotten exchange rate was brought up for discussion...

 

[MickZA]

Don't ... Tempt ... Fate!!!

 

[Sonic2k]

More approriately... don't give Eskom ideas....

Will this have a knock-on effect on Cahora Bassa Dam? If so what will the effect be for ESKOM?

Large quantities of water were apparently released when there was not enough upstream flow to replenish the dam and drive the turbines that supply electricity.

What is this now? Spreading propaganda on behalf of our godwaful government?

You must just sharrup and say thank you it's not 10 hours.

Well at least you don't have aids like someone else. <- See what I did there?

 

[diabolus]

Too bad we are comparing SA to another african state circling failed state status , this map/rank of "failure rank" says it all:

Ugh. What a patriot...

What's next? At least we don't live in the vacuum of space?

 

[Polymathic]

now you jinxed us

 

[bwana]

That country has been suffering power failures of up to ten hours a day.

Since when it that load shedding?

 

[Milano]

Zambians can count themselves lucky they are better off than Haitians?

 

[Sinbad]

South Africans already think like this every day of our lives.
When some **** breaks into your house and steals all your stuff we all say "at least no one got hurt"

 

[FoXtroT]

Stuff that. I've already been shed for 12 hours twice this week!

 

[Sneeky]

ANC logic, others in Africa are worse off, so its ok to be as useless as them.
