Dark days ahead for SA

It amazes me that you're still here seeing as it's always been quoted :D

:D

Was thinking the same thing. Maybe nobody wants him, otherwise, judging by his posts on this forum, he would be gone long time ago.:rolleyes:
 
Is it wrong to want better? Wrong to voice yourself?

Or is it...

Wrong that some people just lay down and let things get worse?

I'm of the opinion that some people have low standards of living. 1st world communities stand together when they believe they have been hard done by.

Well I was hoping for a mentality shift but of course looking at the rest of Africa and what happens now here that hope is in vain, it is clear that nothing can be done to African mentality so yeah the options is open is it not! What I do realise is that there is no hope for this country as is with the case of Zim. The MugaBeki Syndrome is to deep entrenched in Africa!

Being singled out for wanting a better life from the tax you pay?

Its only wrong when you complain about the ANC and their shenanigans.
I thought that was made clear?

Only government intervention could help with the power situation, said Schmidt.

He said government needed to explain how it would help assist Eskom to raise the necessary finance to build the promise power stations.
No offence Mr. Scmidt but that sounds like a load of crap.

Any essential facility that is government controlled is doomed to fail. The quickest and most effective way to bring about change is to allow competition.

That is exactly the reason that we are in this mess.

Goverment told Eskom not to build any more power stations in an effort to encourage new entrants. And from some of the stuff I have heard over the years, besides the HIGH barriers of entry into the market, the people that did come forward, wanted a guarantee that Eskom would buy their infrastructure should they **** things up.

I see nothing wrong with allowing them to build more stations AND allowing new entrants. I personally haven't heard of the demand to buy infrastructure should they mess up, but with regards to the high entry barrier I'm pretty sure that there are quite a few entities in the private sector that have access to the necessary funding. I have a feeling that we're not being told the whole story by both Eskom and government.
 
"No municipality will accept and condone this load shedding, especially when it does damage to business and affects in a negative way our smooth service delivery," he said.

Same article as OP http://www.24.com/news/?p=tsa&i=815826

Well I've not heard of one municipality making a stand for the man in the street. Put your money where your mouth is.

Oh sorry, forgot that SA public service is all about telling the citizen what they what to hear and then sticking your thumb up your butt and going off to compare flash cars with other municipal wekkas
