my favourite bit:

The company [Eskom] has said its reserve margin will continue to decline for the next roughly seven years until a new power plant is built.

Say what? What reserve margin? Its already zero - or why are we being shed more and more everyday - despite your stopping sales to foreign countries, and your decision with big business for them to cut 10% off their usage.

Welcome to the jungle

Ya learn ta live like an animal
In the jungle where we play

The reserve bit is the off peak extra that they still sell! They have not stopped anything.
The SABC says so.

If we had stopped, the neighboring countries would be in darkness almost 24/7, which they arent, with the exception of MadBobs abortion he calls a country.
