It's the middle management bloat that needs to go. These are not the guys you want to chop, they're essential for keeping the lights on, and they know it hence their behaviour. They need well trained replacements before firing this lot...

The same way a most respected comany in Africa can go tits up under BEE in a few years.

But this is all the ANC's plan to stave off losing control, Ramapoepol needs some diversion too, we'll be turned into Zimflopwe 2.0 long before elections 2024..

Damn the ANC went out of their way to prove the 90s naysayers wrong right.

As POC, who had so much hope, you cannot help but think, how long will my fellow countrymen continue blindly supporting a party which is dismantling the country, infrastructure by infrastructure.

As a whitey can we have that apology about being so right about everything now?

"unavailability of coal"? News in over the weekend: SA is currently the biggest exporter of coal to Europe.

And I'll be going on 2 years by the end of July with over 27.5MWh in total generation by then.

Two years ago everything made sense to go solar as prices dropped for panels, batteries and inverters while grid power was going up. At the moment it still makes sense to go solar but prices for components has gone up and supply cannot keep up with demand so expect to wait for decent inverters and batteries.

Its time for De Ruyter to **** off. Simply due to the fact that he has zero urgency and so easily throws around these high load shedding stages as if its nothing.

What exactly did he achieve so far? Hordes of units tripping daily became a normal thing for us under his watch.

Unfortunately he was put in charge of a sinking ship. :crying:

Fairly sure this is related to the strikes, not actual availability of coal...
