Ramaphosa on load shedding: ‘We’re not the only country with problems’

[ToxicBunny]

Agreed. It's a flat-out lie.

The US has had power disruptions for sure, but it's due to freak natural disasters or extreme weather they hadn't experienced before. They were freak once off occurrences.

Loadshedding is a 20-something year long ongoing problem involving corruption, incompetence and an unwillingness/incapability to plan for the long term. There is also no current plan to address loadshedding that I've seen, not so in the US.

The US actually do things with urgency.

Texas had those issues recently... All power producers are now subject to new legislation (that was tabled within 2 months) that will prevent this in future. Oh and many members of ERCOT (the Texas Electricity Council) resigned, and the CEO was fired within a month of the event.

We won't mention that FEMA was rolling within 3 days of the event and generators were being deployed and the national guard was called up to assist in clearing and recovery operations.

Come now Cyril, that is urgency. You twats are 13 years down the road and are still scratching your rectal cavities doing sweet FEK ALL about this.

but the bribes are pretty sweet,

 

[ConfusedR]

I do not care about other countries.
I care about my own country.

 

[RedViking]

And?

Is that why you are also so corrupt, incompetent and useless?

Can't help yourself because there are other counties that are also corrupt, incompetent and useless?

A majority of your voters can't even set foot outside of their towns, I guess if you tell them the rest of the world has been destroyed they will believe it as well.

Do the right thing comrades. Vote ANC. We did not struggle all these years to go back to Apartheid.

What do you mean go back to Apartheid, during Apartheid electricity was the cheapest in the world and supplied to over 60% of Africa, during Apartheid service delivery was tops, during Apartheid black workers earned the highest salaries in all of Africa, 8 times higher than Botswana and on par with the U.S., during Apartheid more than 50% of the annual budget was allocated to black interests and development of homelands. In the 80's blacks could receive complicated heart surgeries for a token amount of R1 at Pretoria Academic, during Apartheid we lived without high fences and barbed wire around houses. During Apartheid more blacks drove cars than all of Sub-Saharan Africa combined. During Apartheid there was periods of shortage of labour, today unemployment is rife.

I say the same thing when I can't get it up with a chick.

But the unions and union membas!!!

 

[Lupus]

Surprised he didn't mention Pakistan, India, parts of Hungary and and against common belief they also call it load-shedding its not some magically thing made up by Eskom.

South Africa should have enough supply and would have if not for the bunch of crooks and muppets running the show.

Sometimes, but not always. They’ve certainly allowed infrastructure to fall into disrepair before.

 

[wbot]

“We have come up with a grand solution which is in the process of being implemented."

 

[The_Librarian]

Most probably stricter BEE Rules and Regulations.

 

[PsyWulf]

They called it loadshedding so we'd feel special and now they tell us we're not?

China's doing loadshedding on an epic scale currently,you should take a look
Their issues are a combination of state-regulated power-pricing and unregulated coal-costs soaring

So they either provide power at a loss or shut-off - they are taking option B

 

[TheChamp]

Correct, by 1994 S.A. was supplying to over 60% of Africa

Source?

 

[ToxicBunny]

No questions about that... But they're generally doing something about it to some level at the moment. They also don't have regular rolling blackouts like cyril is implying, or a completely failing water infrastructure.

Ramaphosa on load shedding: ‘We’re not the only country with problems’

President Cyril Ramaphosa says South Africa is not the only country with power problems, and even affluent countries like the US have issues.

No they don't.

Not one person who moves to the US from SA regrets it.

We are a shithole thanks to the ANC.
