Probably not, but it might be fun to torch some ministers houses?

Now if the protesters were to march over to Baas Uncle Gwede and Cvnt Cyril houses...

Personally, I reckon that is a matter of time until our p0es-Politicians start deflecting by telling people that there are (white) people in the suburbs who don't suffer like others do because they have solar and batteries and water tanks and, and, and.

They are communist-oriented politicians, after all.

No, But stoning politicians in the process will....

Good idea, will you be our leader?

Their properties have that too, and the public has to sustain some ministers,

Taxpayers foot the bill for more generators for ministers​

The Department of Public Works and Infrastructure has replaced 13 generators at ministers’ homes, with more still to be purchased.

Responding in a written parliamentary Q&A this week, the department said that the 13 generators at ministers’ homes were replaced due to redundancy and the fact that the old generators were too costly to maintain.

It added that one more generator was purchased for a minister in November, with three more in the procurement stage.

The department has spent almost R800,000 running the generators since 1 July 2022, it said.

According to City Press, the department spent R1.3 million in 2021 installing generators at ministers’ homes, and another R681,000 in the first half of this year.

The cost of running these generators has risen from R31,750 in 2021 to R1.4 million in 2022, taking into account the R621,000 spent in the first half of the year and the R784,135 spent since 1 July.

and these were installed at private residences. Knowing this, how does it truly look on this elitist plain? In the case Cyril wants to go down that route, it will be a position taken that he and his ilk are superior to the rest.

When I look at my own suburban area, it is a mixed demographic with installed 'preservation' or so I call it. All people are battling against this neglect and decay by the state. It is no place to put up a circus.

It's too late to do anything about Eskom. Protests are not going to make a difference.

The only way forward is to get rid of the Clowns ruining this country, then we can focus on building again.

I am curious how long the new schedule will hold? Stage 4 and 5... when stage 3, when back to stage 6?

Protest actions is not going to change a thing.

It might raise some global awareness, but as we've seen, the Beeb, WAPO, NYT, Sky etc are rotten to the core and will continue to do puff pieces about the high caste ANCers who make our lives miserable if they make the right noises about eco-lunacy, race hustling and Covid.

You sound very brave. Special Task Forces ?

But people keep voting ANC.... they approve of the uselessness of the ANC (and government).

 

[Mike Hoxbig]

The researcher expects that those who can afford to install the likes of solar or inverters will continue to exist relatively unaffected; however, those less fortunate will struggle more – in turn widening inequality within the country.

Shame. They got the government they voted for. Or equally bad, didn't vote at all for. And now we must feel sorry for them. Retard-Monaco can f off...

Can work to build a movement to eventually shank the ANC.
