South Africa's endeavour to end load-shedding lacks urgency

South Africa's plans to fix power cuts are incoherent — and 2 years behind

South Africa’s electricity infrastructure has been degrading in the past decade, with both scheduled and unscheduled power outages on the increase.

Despite slowed economic activity due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the country experienced 1130 hours of planned power cuts in 2021, the highest ever.

We're used to it now, when electricity goes out, we either have batteries, generators, solar panels, or nothing to do.

Agee, would be a pity if we actually managed to fix it.

South Africa lacks urgency

BS, you can renew your licence in 20 minutes.

No urgency required, there's no emergency. Our economy is so strong we can afford to wipe R6bn off of it for every week of load shedding!! In fact our economy is so strong cadres can pillage trillions from the fiscus without it having any effect whatsoever!! It pays to have a strong economy, doesn't it?

South Africa’s plans to fix power cuts are incoherent

Like Ramaphosa's plan to prevent looting of the COVID-19 relief fund?

or Zuma's nine point plan?

or the ministers of police and intelligence's plan to secure the residents of KZN?

or Quedani Mahlangu's Life Esidimeni plan?

Or police commissioner Ria Phiyega's Marikana plan?

The cANCer is incoherent with everything and 28 years behind.

Everything to the ruling ANC is still due to apartheid, 28 years on, when a new generation will have graduated PhD the issue is still apartheid. We're still a third world country crying "not fair" because "they got rich off of coal" when we have been exporting them all those coal for the past 28 years, taxed those coal for the past 28 years and used those funds to better the lives..... nah, we didn't. So what's the rush?
