Ramaphosa tells frustrated Soweto residents: Only the ANC can solve electricity woes

[ConfusedR]

Hey Squirrelpoesa, why are people paying R370 a month just for the pleasure of having an escum wire running past their house????? EVEN though they are not using electricity?.
STEALING LEECHING TWATS.

Take it from the SABC's point of view.
Whether you are actually using the electricity or not, you have to pay for having the ability to use it.
ANC cadres need to steal. One way or another.

Does the DA do it differently where they govern?

Leave them without power. It's what they deserve.

 

[mojoman]

They should just remove infrastructure and thats the end of that then....

But thats South Africa currently...spineless, weak and just pathetic...

Instead things will get burnt and destroyed and those residents will get their way anyhow...

TIA

Eskom charges the municipalities. So go ask Eskom if the DA does it differently.

Gosh that would be amazing.

You don't pay, you interfere with Eskom technicians doing their job then you don't simply just get disconnected, they come with an armed escort and take the whole transformer away and you're left screwed. Hard to make illegal connections when there's nothing to connect to

See how quickly people wake up and start paying.

No they will burn your house down and stone your car. Then some idiot will donate something and we will be back to square one.

And you won't have a car and house

I will never understand why they don't go burn outside the municipal offices and stone the ward counselors car. No they must stone the average man's car whose simply going somewhere

We are having issues in the area with some land owned by the municapality that the locals want to take over...they are not getting their way...so what happens, the 3 roads into town are blocked off by stone throwing twats....And now they are digging a trench across the road...Unfortunaltey this same tactic was used about 10km away at another squatter camp...They dug trenches....blocked off roads...and even messed up the railway line...And six months later they got what they wanted (rumour has it Transnet paid for the electric infrastructure here so they could get the line back in use....)..The precedent has been set...

Cops sit back and watch...or just sleep in the paddy wagon..
I say load up those shotties and dispearse these things...they run like the wind when the guns come out...
Of course FA will happe thoughn...Thats how everything'works' here...Just do what you want...
You dont get your way...OK...just trash everything in sight....

The army should be used to deal with this sort of thing if the police aren't up to the task.

The way lawlessness is permitted in this country is my single biggest gripe. I really feel like a lot of the problems would vanish if those that broke the law experienced real consequences for doing so.

Personal discipline when adhering to laws quickly evaporates when you watch the dude next door flagrantly violate the law repetitively without repercussions.

Compromise is impossible when one party always wants to have things their way - I'm talking about the community in question here of course.

Pretty much this...

They just need to start enforcing the law properly, hell even just start in a small area and expand it over time, but enforce the law and no fear or favour must be given.

How it's done.

Eskom cuts power to parts of Dlamini after workers denied access

The utility said the community is denying its workers access to the area to install prepaid meters.
