I do not even think any of the 10,000+ degreed engineers knows how a broom works.

Don't worry, we're replacing Komatipoort with 150MW of renewables for R9bn. It will come online some time... soon... next decade, maybe. Will totes solve the 10000MW shortfall..

I think those R300k brooms are self sweeping? Or not? They were cheap...

Next up, Eskom and the ANC will tell us that this decline was planned. People used less electricity, more people installed solar and got off the grid.....

Decolonization, we've been having it!

Well, that's a way to go green just produce less and less until nothing is produced anymore.

All the wood and coal will be burned to keep people warm but at least the power plants won't burn anything.

Thanks ANC and ANC voters.

This is the legacy of apartheid and the fault of the NP government.

This is the legacy of apartheid and the fault of the NP government.

What if it was not? But the rather the legacy of the ANC? It was not Apartheid and the NP that returned discrimination, introduced AA and BEE, chasing away all skilled workers replacing them with unskilled workers. What now?
