I know a woman, with a normal eskom point, first time eskom switch off just the switch. She switch it back on. Then they disconnect the wire, she reconnect it. Then they remove all the power, she went to the police and report the theft.
Now she use gas and candles.

Sounds like an alternate version of Mean Woman Blues.

Good news, the ANC has kept its promise, free electricity is available. He must just present himself to his nearest Eskom office, all shall be revealed when he gets there.

Word games to trick the gullible. Genius!

Electricity is freely available. < - Here's a statement that opens one up to all sorts of potential pesky issues in future. Screams "hold me accountable!", for one thing. Also reeks of honesty and transparency. No way to misconstrue that to suggest free stuff. Nah, this won't do.

Free electricity is available. <- Now we're talking! Come and get it, peasants.

You should go into politics, sir. You were made for this stuff.

I blame the National Party, they were not supposed to provide them with electricity, the cheek and entitlement stems from there, we wouldn't have this problem if they got electricity in 94 like everybody else.

Comrade, I'm confused. In the Sharepville photos we already saw the Eskom cables. They had access to electricity just like every body else, even the witous. All they had to do was pay like the witous.

I hope my reply answers it. It's freely available if you pay for it.

Tbh, it was. Now only when there's no load shedding. :giggle:

Looks like this man has story to tell and will be awesome to have him here. I suspect he is that guy - everyone's friend in Soweto

The man, who refused to be named, said the late former president Nelson Mandela’s promise of a better South Africa with free education, free electricity, free water and sanitation had not been realised.

Must tell you the truth, I know what she look like, what color car the husband is driving, where she stay, but her name and id not. Someone who works for Eskom told me about this story. So confirm I can, but I just told it here as I fought it would fit in this thread.

WATCH | Fed-up Soweto residents block N1 highway over Eskom power cuts | News24

Some Soweto residents have vowed to continue blockading major roads leading in and out of the area until their power has been restored.

Well at least the cops didn't "monitor the situation" for too long this time around.

Do like the idea that Eskom mustn't just disconnect an entire area when they are potentially seeing a 99.5% non-payment/tampering rate in that area.

This time round the ANC gotta prove themselves first though. They've alienated too many people.

The cANCer saying they are the only one that can sort out electricity woes is like an incompetent retarded bunch of morons that think they can run a country.....oh wait :unsure:
