How Eskom split could bring end to load-shedding

Well I just read that the government is going to give back a percentage with a maximum of R15,000 for solar installations if you install your solar after the 1st of March.
I'm not smart but if there is anything I know about this government that actually applied to charge people R938 for using solar and been off the grid initially, there is no way they would just turn around and all of a sudden want to help people to install solar.

I think they're being smart about it in the sense that they cannot stop people from installing solar anyway so they want people to register with them by being greedy or thinking they're being helped by the government; and they'll give back the measly R10000 or so initially, that is if they don't just reject your application anyway. But what this will do is they will now have a registry of every person that installs solar panels and are now off the grid; and a couple of years or 3 years or 5 years from now; they will implement all of a sudden that they're charging you for using solar panels and being off the grid.
And because these dumb dumbs did not see it coming, the government knows that they install solar panel and they won't even be able to deny it. Catching
 
Got it, so SA government is more money hungry than China, Greece and Colombia, that really put things into perspective.

There are no plans charge people R938 for using solar and/or been off the grid, it is just fear mongering.

Yes of course, this is why you should provide your own electricity and water.

You will save a lot and also be independent and do not have to worry all the time about our government.
 
Don't tell Eskom and the ANC what to do, you bladdy racist!
 
We have seen other SOE's being bailed out before why would this be any different?
 
Being efficient is not the African way. It causes to much stress.
Opening up generation opertunities will only be given to BBBEEEE cadres that can spot the cANCer a couple of bucks on the side
