We don't need a rally, all we need to do is switch from solar back to Eskom power for a day or two

Lets wait for the new solar levy and tariffs before we talk solar. If you're talking about grid-tied then get ready to be fleeced. Off-grid is the only solution, but not many people can afford to go off-grid.

I think they will be introducing new taxes for off-grid as well. Something like an annual safety inspection fee of R24000 per year for all off-grid systems. Your system needs to be verified for safety ala DA style.

Yup. In the end the most we would have done is moaned on the internet. Weird how people took to beaches to protest masks but crickets when the country is being ****ed for real.

They more concerned with pitbulls right now.
 
What boggles my mind is why the EFF have not done their usual rally(looting) on this issue yet. Perhaps they benefit more if Eskom fails?

Rocking up with pitchforks at Megawatt park won't help either.

We need a new government.
But, I'm quite bored of all the people who say we must go to the streets. Strike. Whatever, but they themselves do jack
Fact is, if you can't afford off grid, this is your life now. Nothing you can do about it.

Organize a rally then. Lead the way.
Oh wait. That takes work and effort. Rather hope someone else does it right?

I'm not suggesting this. Load shedding hardly affects me other than traffic lights. We made our own plans years ago thanks. I'm just wondering how South Africans can protest for just about everything else, but when we have a clear issue like this, one that is so visible and clearly the cause of poor leadership and corruption, there's no action whatsoever.
