Wait, what?

Wasn't that done a long time ago?

A few years ago

It's as good a reason as the other BS excuses anc give.

 

[wingnut771]

But they've just told us they want to save the economy

They lied.

Around the time of the looting iirc.

 

[wingnut771]

That would save us all, but ruin the economy too, which wouldn't save us all.

It's called de-industrialisation.

ANC calls it Transformation.

It's ok 'cos it's no longer communism, just socialism now

I've decided to keep the house on grid all day and charge from grid instead of the panels; due to shitty weather and similar schedule to yours.

Yep

Last couple of years in Jo'burg iirc, true winter only got going in the last third of June.

They're not wrong. It's definitely a kind of transformation.

 

[The_Librarian]

Optimus Prime want to have a word with the ANC about this "transformation"...

 

[vaakseun]

Nah, they will implement load curtailment for the industrial users before that happens...

Got to love the choices the ANC has now. Load shed the masses and lose even more votes or load curtail heavy industry and lose even more funding for the party.

And it's deliciously ironic. In the 80's the ANC tried to destroy Eskom (they even bombed Koeberg back in 1982 delaying the commissioning of the plant by more than 18 months).

Now Eskom will destroy the ANC.

You reap what you sow.

The sad truth is that the anc will stay in power, one way or another

That's just our fears. Reality - who knows, looking slightly better.

Seems they caused more kak while in power then when they were trying to cause kak to get into power...

It just took them 29 years and being in power, considering they were pretty useless before.

Well, it didn't take much effort to transform from one of the most useless "liberation movements" to the most useless government in history.
