KAK MAN..

 

[NR7]

Could he not just say "South Africans with aircons"? The affluent are probably running solar and gas so they don't have to worry about drivel from idiots like this.

 

[Mike Hoxbig]

Surprised they haven't used this excuse sooner, I was expecting it last year summer already.

Also aircon set to a comfortable 22, and not using a unit of their filthy power...

and suddenly usage spiked by about 1,500MW,” said Rakgolela.

1500MW equals stage 6 loadshitting in eskomonomics.

Also what was the excuse last week for stage 5/6

 

[Mike Angelo]

Well, we have had Murder Mist, Wet Coal etc. so why not Airconditioners?? See they don't seem to blame the mindless masses for overusing heaters in winter though...

Not much actually

How much you need to earn to be in the richest 1% in South Africa

This is how much money you need to earn to be in South Africa’s top 1% of income earners, as well as how this would compare to some of the world’s richest nations.
