We often bitch and complain about the power outages because no TV or no coffee or whatever. Tonight I’ve been made aware that to some the consequences are deadly.

From our local community. FML it’s a hard read.




And in response to someone asking about hospitals or clinics being exempt.



****. This. Government.

And **** anyone who votes for them.

There is a community medic who streams on Tiktok and she has a big following... she did an interview with Sky News a while ago and in there a few things she mention and it hit me that day...

1) Often they rushing to a scene to help someone and the cell towers are down and they can't get hold of the person and therefore cannot locate them.

2) Traffic due to traffic lights being out and causing traffic jams.. They often don't make it in time

and probably the most scariest one she said was how often paramedics get called to come ASAP to hospitals to perform CPR and resuscitate people because generators and inverters have failed

We are far too placid when it comes to loadshedding and its consequences, nothing is going to change with the next elections, I really hope people realize that. Someone is going to have to force a change, peacefully or not... Tho I guess I have no horse in that race anymore, I really hope something happens for the folks who can't leave :(

The man is full of drama, let there be no doubt. That bicycle meme fully applies to him.
A baseball cap, a scraggly beard, a pair of sunglasses. Private security on high alert. A bullet-proof car. An escape into the night.

The source, who’s speaking to YOU on condition of anonymity, says André had no choice but to flee. He’d upset many people in high places following his eNCA interview in February when he’d made astonishing allegations of deep-seated corruption.

So, he gives the interview then runs away believing said interview upset people in high places? LOL, what a drama queen!

I'm reminded of a particular episode of Carte Blanche last year or the year before; we saw taxi bosses being gunned down in the street by opponents, and discovered how the gov. are doing nothing - either unable or turning a blind eye or with their head in the sand.

The mad violence and any serious threats of it are all too real for those daring to get involved in our country's high stakes games.
Is he dramatic? Maybe that as well..

Interesting they chose LC stage 4 instead of raising normal LS to stage 6... choosing to hit industry a liter harder than normal individuals?
