Mantashe: The economy is going to collapse if electricity remains this expensive

Nigeria has lots of oil but no petrol. South Africa has lots of coal but no power. Racist, Affirmative Action policies has killed South Africa just like that. You were warned but did not listen. Now live with it.

Correct. All of this means nothing if you do not have the means, the experience and skills to get it out the ground, process it and put it to correct use. As the ANC has found out, the West just simply left the resources inside African soil and moved elsewhere to find more. With no more mining, no more skills and experience or investments, the industry just died. I feel firmly that the private sector should not involve themselves in the problems of South Africa until such time the ANC decides to follow the right path. All help, finances, investments, etc., should be withdrawn and the companies should leave the country until things have changed for the better, if it is not too late already.

That's going to take a loooong time. Very long. Very very long. After all it is very difficult to follow a path which you can not see. And even worse: there is a natural reason why they can not see. #DarwinTakesNoPrisoners

This idiot doesn't realise that the economy is already collapsing thanks to his ilk.

Hou jou bek slim Jan!

It was so cheap when the NP was in control they practically gave it away, guess who made it expensive?

Thus Mantash-babe needs to have a long hard look at himself if he wants to complain about the price..

And the silly twats want to sell electricity to Zambia.

We are so bludgeoned that even an outraged, spastic twitch is a feat.

Then why doesn't Gwede and his ANC liberalise the labour law and ease up on corporate taxes?

Everyone knows what's wrong with Eskom. Im sure most people on this forum can identify all the low hanging fruit that they can easily fix.

Now someone just needs to stop talking about it and actually do it.
