Eskom load-shedding kicks in

Nothing new.... pauper country just doing what paupers do

I am 100% convinced that the ANC cannot be proud of inheriting a fully functioning country and having run it right into the ground where we are at today.

Yeah... eskom is one of those 'you had one job' memes monopolised... 'our mandate as a company is to produce and transmit electricity'... yeah... good job, bonuses all round

Their management should be taken to the town square and be flogged. Useless oxygen thieves.

Blackmailing SA again because they want ridiculous tariff hikes to support their inefficiencies. Well. That is the consipiracy theory explained to me today. Make sense though.

Eskom pays junior miners up to 300% more per ton of coal than the majors under their bee development schemes. This is for exactly the same quality and grade of coal. In many instances these juniors are buying from the major mines and reselling to Eskom and pocketing the difference without actually investing the margin in the mine as they are supposed to.

It’s the beginning of the end. Ducks lined up.

I wouldn't be surprised if Atul at al are still pulling the strings...
 
When are we, the citizens of this country, going to draw a line under all this garbage and call time on it?

We moan and groan, but do nothing, and I'm wondering if there is a point at which people will stop moaning and start calling for consequences to rain down on those who are guilty of gross mismanagement and incompetence?

And don't look to the DA (or whoever) to save your bacon for you, they are just as corrupt because that is the nature of the system, no accountability = no honesty or integrity.

We urgently need to build accountability and reliable checks and balances into the system. We need to be able kick useless idiots out at any point. No politician should ever feel safe and secure in their cushy little job playing games with our money. One for me, one for roads, one for me, one for hospitals, one for me, one for schools, one for me, one for the military ... and so on.

Easier for me to leave SA than draw lines. You are pissing against a tornado and won't get anywhere.
