Eskom cuts power across SA

[daveza]

There is no one single silver bullet. Stop pointing fingers and do more to make the country a better place for all. Listening to people whine is boring. If you don't like it here, go to England/Australia or anywhere else for that matter.

Mac is that you ?

Agreed.

So what have you done so far to fix the electricity problem? Perhaps it something that we all take part in?

Like what? Fund a nuclear power station in my back garden? This incompetence goes beyond the ability of single citizens to fix; the ANC is rotten to the core and dragging us tax-paying law-abiding citizens with them.

So BEE has been good for country?

Stop pointing fingers and do more to make the country a better place for all.

We all pay our taxes. That's doing a lot more than most of the population and the guavamint destroys the country further. Why don't you stand up for SA instead of making excuses?

Listening to people whine is boring.

Then why are you on a forum?

If you don't like it here, go to England/Australia or anywhere else for that matter.

Go read a newspaper or something if all you want to do is passively take in news.

You bull****ter! No, stop BEE and Affirmative Action and place competently qualified people in positions. This is the only thing that can be done in order to try to turn things around. Let the current incompetent black individuals who do not perform go back to their homes, study further and return to companies working on entry-level positions that will help them to gain knowledge and experience.

Yes, obviously in almost all positions white people will be advantaged, but it is unfortunately so that they are the only ones at this time who can at least try to save the country from a total collapse. As the country is at the moment, it is falling and there is nothing that any white or black person can do about that.

Unfortunately, saving the country doesn't appear to be on the zanc agenda. nKandla, however, does.

+1!

So you are happy with the mismanagement of infrastructure?

Nope, I simply said there is no singular silver bullet. This means I recognise the mismanagement of our infrastructure, I just don't view it as the be all and end all to our countries woes.

Then you are very, very naive, inexperienced and in the same boat as the ANC - denying reality.

That explains it and now time for me to ignore your stupid comments.

I haven't been complaining about the electricity problems. I believe SA's issues are much more fundamental.

 

[LazyLion]

Stop calling it 'loadshedding' and start calling it 'non-delivery of an essential service I have paid for twice via taxes + tariffs'

 

[Equalizer]

I haven't been complaining about the electricity problems. I believe SA's issues are much more fundamental.

Like what?:

- White people are still employed by companies and government?
- White people own companies or generate 'south african' money?
- White people still own land, farms and properties?
- Not enough money available to be skimmed for the elite?
- Too much western influence on SA?
- SA still too technologically advanced when compared to the rest of SA?

Come one.....

How about we just live where ever the hell we want and you go get stuffed?
These problems are not of our making, and most people have done more than their fair share to cut back on usage.

There you have it folks:
Step 1: Don't complain.
Step 2: Just have some faith.

Armed with those we can move mountains and address the problems of RSA.

Thanks Shnorkiller for the solution[sup]tm[/sup] that has be evading us now from '94.

 

[AntiGanda]

Yet the Cape Town schedule shows no level 2 loadshedding on a Sunday.

Apparently it's now at level 3, but Eskom's site still says 2.

Chaos!

Go read a newspaper or something if all you want to do is passively take in news.

1. I never implied it had, I don't believe it has been implemented properly.
2. What excuses have I made?
3. I mainly use this forum to gain and share information around topics I find interesting.
4. Not too sure what reading a newspaper has anything to do with my recommendation. But, if you believe reading a newspaper to be an invaluable source of information, you're clearly behind on what is happening in the media industry at the moment.

 

[entrepr]

I wonder what excuses the politicians will be throwing around about this one - or who they will try to blame

Unfortunately, and even allowing for our country's terrible legacy until 1994, this is a case of policy failure on a grand scale, sustained now over decades

 

[Shnorkiller]

haha, anyway. I've had enough fun for a Sunday morning.

Off to a enjoy a braai because I have no power . Please continue complaining while I'm away, I hope it brings back the power!

I thought they were saying that level 3 would be needed for tomorrow, when industry demand picks up.

My lights are still on. Perhaps Cape Town hasn't been instructed to start shedding yet
