Hence why the banks need to be totally on board with such a plan

Yes the reserve bank can threaten to withdraw their operating licenses, but again what this comes down to is if every bank is ignoring SARS orders, the government will need to decide whether they're brave enough to halt the financial infrastructure of the country by withdrawing and enforcing the withdrawal of their operating licenses until they comply

Saying this however, the true power lies with those who run the computer systems, the banks computers don't care about a banking license

Why do you think they want a state bank so badly...

SARS just takes the money from the business account

Stash the cash under a sofa like a squirrel.

Wow, they really don't like my block then as we can have a 3 day outage and LS will still happen

Same here, our power will come back on after 12 hours without power and 15 minutes later they will still loadshed us

 

[Mike Angelo]

Tell that to the people in SA who spike demand in winter to 35GW cause it's cold, and moan when there is no power cause it's cold

Last time I had a heater was when I used to live in Bloemfontein... Moved to Boksburg in 1996 and never needed one since.

Running 4 aircons today.

 

[Lupus]

Because heaters are cheaper than aircons. South africans are weak.

So are ovens. Seen people using that

 

[Lupus]

In the middle of a 4 hour load shed and the power came on after 2 hours at 10h00. 3 minutes later it is off again.

Sure it didn't trip

Tough week ahead, let's hope there little bit of diesel left pumped storage is hopefully ready to go.

Rumors around around there not much diesel left and can only be used if the situation is critical
