If we were in an industrialised country like Germany, it would be the default action for the CEO to resign with immediate effect.
If we were in Imperial Japan, it would be expected of the CEO to complete a 'harakiri' ritual in the boardroom. How strong are those countries' economies?
Since we're in Africa .... will anything happen whatsoever? Besides some whishy whashy lies about the situation, and us beign told to deal with it!

If generators and diesel wasn't so expensive I would encourage every home owner and business owner to invest in 1 and keep them running 24/7 and to hell with Escom... I don't know about harakiri but yes the CEO should be shot!!! Costing the nations bombs!!! There's no way to know exactly but billions and counting!!! IDIOTS!!!
 
Apparently a 5kva generator costs around 5k and it's good for lights and 1 or 2 appliances, a single plate on your stove, fridge, tv but no geysers...
 
Zim's 'free' Eskom power ride

Zim's 'free' Eskom power ride

Nothing we didn't know already, but just rubs more salt into the wounds of the SA Consumer who faces a 14% Tariff Increase for Electricity plus Load Shedding.
All this while the undeserving Mugabe took $100 000 US Dollars over Christmas out of The Zimbabwe Kitty for a nice holiday in The East, yet the Zimbabwe people can't pay for the power they use??:confused::mad:

Something is very wrong here?
How much does Zimbabwe owe South Africa for all sorts of things, yet we must go without Electricity to prop up Mugabe and his cronies while they rape the country with some weird exchange rate privy to only a few.

Information obtained by Solidarity shows that Eskom currently exports 3 000MW of electricity to neighbouring countries. This almost equals the entire output of one SA power station.

"We have also been informed that Zimbabwe does not pay for the electricity supplied to it by Eskom."

Even if they did pay - I would still not want to give them anything.
They managed to destroy their country. As if that were not bad enough, our own economy must now suffer too.

It's a bit like throwing your last life preserver to a man who just scuttled his own ship, even though your ship has just sprung a leak.

Good analogy there. Pretty much sums up the whole situation.
 
Question: How was South Africa powered before candles?
Answer: We had electricity :(

Jokes aside, the sheer incompetence of the Government is unforgivable!!!!! Surely the "voting public" must now realize that "their Government" are a bunch of tossers!

Sorry I strongly disagree. Brainless W@nkers is a more suitable definition, and that fits their voters too!
