This is the ANC's fault for promising them free electricity. What did they expect, with our people and history?

May their sky rain with ACME anvils and grand pianos.

Good luck trying to get people to pay for something they've had for free forever..
This is like when I had to start paying for news24

They can get free electricity from their Sangoma.

The same guy who gave them a wallet that always fills up with money, the same way the whites goes to the ATMs and always can draw money.

And then their Sangoma has this weekend's lottery numbers, they are guaranteed to win the lottery.

Im so tired of this.

Welcome to real world - things have to be paid for. You steal stuff, the price goes up. Source, has to cover it's costs.

R50.00 to boil a kettle - not so sure.

Paulina Moloto who has six tenants, said like most other households she had not paid for electricity for 14 years.

Can I also stop paying electricity for 14 years and still get electricity ?
