There is no magic wand that Eskom or Sonjica can wave. Throwing money at the problem will not help. There's nothing the politicians and bureaucrats can do to speed up the construction of the new power stations although the hot air they generate could be viewed as an alternative energy source.

Building a power station is a long and complex process which is why the country faces up to eight years of load-shedding until the new construction programme gets on top of the situation.

So, if you are feeling panicky, there's good reason for it and you are in good company.

Maybe we can become refugees in Zim ?

Seems like a good idea - although Namibia seems better.

Zim:
No one left really.
Power supplied from Eskom on a priority basis.
Nice weather - good rainfall.


Namibia:
Very few people - 1.8million or so
Power supplied on a priority level from Eskom.
Good beer.
No rain.

...some woman phoned in 2 days ago ( on the radio RSG ), claiming that a relitive of her ( some type of engineering guy ) worked at Koeberg and advised Escom 10 YEARS ago that they had to build a new cylo, otherwise there might be trouble with power in 10 years time ( today )...seems he was right...and no-one listined
