Luckily Cape Town is nuclear and not coal powered. :whistle:

You also have hydropower, lucky bastards. On the note of water: why is no-one funding power generated by ocean currents?! We're one of the few lucky countries to have ocean on THREE sides!

It is about tides and not currents as far as I know and the difference between high and low tide is not big enough.

I actually wish Eskom just implode. I would gladly sit for a few weeks without power in order for Government to take notice and stop this raping of it's citizens. We need more power suppliers to compete with Eskom !

Lol. A few weeks? Try years man. Power stations aren't a 3 month project - they take years before they become operational. If we sit more than a few months without power, welcome to Zim 2.0.

My uncle works in the auditing department at Eskom and he's been complaining for years that they are expecting him to train up idiots who can't be trained. I can't begin to imagine how bad it is on the operations side...

After competent people left one of the BEE companies, they employed a foreign expert to fix their problems.

When he arrived and was asked to teach existing staff members he refused, saying he was employed to do a job, not as a teacher.

Uhm.... we'd drop from SA to below Zimbabwe in a week. So believe me, you don't want that to happen.
 
Oh my God. What is with all this negative people in this thread? Not to mention the racist here and there. You withies enjoyed all the electricity the country had and now that you must share it with the majority, you all cry like babies :D

3 things:

1 - This has nothing to do with sharing. What is x percent of **** all? That's right. **** all.

2 - Since we're harping on about "whities", you "blackies" inherited a working system and in 20 years you've done nothing but royally screw it up. So nice attempt at deflection by making it about whites, but not this time. This one's all on you, pal. ;)

3 - If you're just trolling, rather go work for the ANC. They say exactly the same kind of crap but get paid (a lot) for it.
