How Eskom was destroyed

If it sounds too much like a cool story, it is a cool story.
It is what it is - you can live in denial and make up crap about it being racist to call a spade a spade, but this is exactly what happened at these organisations.
 
ANC came to power. Technocrats were replaced by political deployees. Primary objective shifted from delivering power and growing the economy to transforming the workforce and securing votes through mass employment and free access to electricity. Corruption and mass looting followed shorty.

The end.

Laziness, incompetence and skimming of the top.
Skimming of the top would have still been ok, we understand us humans are corruptible creatures by nature.

But stealing 85% and trying to tune the company with 15% is where the problem lies.
 
What's your point?

Demand today is almost the same as it was 25 years ago and they can't even keep the lights on, even after increasing the price 500%.

viva ANC viva!

This is my stance as well. As tge world move to more energy efficient equipment, globes changed form 100w to 5w for eg.

The load on the system has bearly moved yet we cant generate what we could in 1990.

Its not the pre 1994 government that damaged eskom, however not say they " ignored" maintain and planning from 1989 because they knew what was coming in 1994.

It was up to the new republic to ensure that the citizens needs are sorted with all SOCs.

The bigger problem we have now is that looting is so ingrained in the government, noone can stop, most likely getting blackmailed by their suppliers to continue, scared as the money is spread to thier bosses, bosses,bosses boss.

We in a downward spiral, and the only way out, from what I see, is to start allowing external power generation to happen, it will give them rest bite for a few years to sort out the issues.
 
Hmmmmm how can it put it....

Well, 26 years ago, anc, zero edukeshin, people who have zero ability to run anything properly, crime, terrorism, pillaging, nepotism... and the list goes on... kinda like the rest of Africa now. Sorta fades into the rest and blends well...
