Cape Town - The current problems with electricity supplies arise not from negative factors, but from positive factors, President Thabo Mbeki said on Sunday.

"The electricity measures are borne out of positive developments in the country," he said in an interview with the SABC.

Another example was that many roads, especially in the big cities, were not coping with the volume of traffic.

"It doesn't signify a breakdown. It signifies that more people are buying cars," he said.

"So, the problems around electricity arise not from negative factors, but they arise from positive factors."

FIRE THEM ALL!!! The point is - The people the MADE this crisis are STILL on the gravy train!

I really am NOT buying this lip service. I could not contain my laughter reading this article.
 
Holy sh*t...People buying more cars? I cant even afford one of those "Top BWM"s wheels...let alone car...ever noticed what these guys are driving?
 
It isn't the solution because he doesnt have the balls to do anything...
 
Two points:

1) My joke the other day about us having a sewage crisis because more people than ever before can now afford to buy food, seems to be getting closer....

2) More and more people are buying cars because the fscking transport system is ****.
 
"One individual sacked somewhere or the other is not going to give you electricity."

"The thing to do is actually address the challenges that we face", Mbeki said.

And jailing the person who killed my dad is not going to bring my dad back - so may as well let him go free.
 
The real signs that SA is in dire peril of failing are not the crap that idiots like mbeki come out with or even the lies like that sprouted in the linked article, but that these lies are generally uncontested.

The fact that he can get away with outright lies spells eventual doom.
 
Actually very smart of Sir T-Bone.

The "good economic growth" has always been a strong card in his deck, and he knows this. With such a statement like above, he not only re-affirms the strong economy, but also uses it as excuse to the power crisis. Very clever indeed. As they say in Afrikaans: "twee vliee met een klap".

Unfortunately the (still) impoverished part of the population that are hungry, has no clean water or electricity, does not feel the benefit of this economic growth. But T-Bone already has an answer ready for this: he will tell them that the economy is still mostly owned by whites (saying not one word about the black elite that, through AA and BEE, have forced themself to a seat on the gravy train as well), thus attempting to further alienate the white minority with the mass voters. This will re-assure that these poor masses will continue voting for the ANC, in the hope that they will one day also benefit from the strong economy... a dream that we all yet still have to see come true.
 
The real problem is there are nobody better to replace them with. Same goes for cabinet ministers.
 
SA is full of IDIOTS (glare @ bwana! haha) and this shows in that, if we don't have them in power, we have them voting for BIGGER TOSSERS like Zuma.

I mean come on!

I have faith in SA coming right, especially the Eskom problem, but at the end of the day, it's going to be normal people fixing the problem, not these other idiots.
 
:D T’Boz looses me entirely.

“The problem was an underestimation of the demand for electricity and therefore the planning in demand for electricity was wrong.”

"So, the problems around electricity arise not from negative factors, but they arise from positive factors."

So, he says they arise from negative factors such as “underestimation of the demand for electricity” given the knowledge of “positive developments in the country” that surely warranted an increase in supply e.g. Mining, Coega etc.

Its not the replacement value,

Its INCOMPETENT people that are STILL in office and using MY Tax-payers to feather their pockets. Those USELESS people may as well not be paid as their contribution to society is NULL AND VOID.
