3 years - if everything goes to plan. Medupi and Kusile are already behind schedule African style.

The common spade holder wants performance bonuses once they finish the project or something. Can't remember what they were demanding but the unions are going to delay everything just to get their workers increases.

I was leaving work (Bryanston) on my way home when the power went out. All traffic lights dead. Made trying to get on the highway at William Nicol über fun. That was at 18:00. Got home at 19:00. Power went out here at 19:49 - 11mins ahead of schedule

Eek, I can only imagine what it's like in Gauteng. But even here in East London it took me an hour to get home during loadshedding, where as on a normal day max. 20mins

So glad I bought an automatic ;)

Load shedding for 20 more years and blaming apartheid for another 50.

Oh and massive bonuses for Eskom execs for their "hard work" every year.

Sounds like it has a lot in common with capitalism.

Capitalism in essence is a system where things are left to follow the natural order. One where the powerful and intelligent thrive and the weak and dim sink to the bottom. Socialism is when you squash everyone into some manufactured premise of everything = everything.

Fantastic, unless you are competing with other societies that allows it's strongest the free reign to thrive. That incentivise excellence and don't push all the resources and control into the hands of the stupid majority. Sure with socialism then you're little system will be sharing everything very fairly, the problem is you will be sharing the crumbs the capitalists leave behind. Everyone then starves together singing kumbiya !

In other words : the real world and how it works.

When you take nationhood, and especially a volk-oriented culture out of the equation the onslaught against capitalism becomes legitimate as everything is left to financial dynamics. One of the reasons I opt for Organic Nationalism.
