The ANC promised us free electricity: Soweto

[Kevin Lancaster]

“The ANC promised us free electricity”

Some of Soweto’s residents feel entitled to free electricity as it was one of the things promised to them when the country gained democracy in 1994.

And the penny drops. Finally - after 20 years - the honeymoon is over.

Soweto will have free electricity until there is none left. Then we will all have generators as in Nigeria.

yeah, that people can really believe that services can be free, everything costs money, somebody has to pay.
of course it was all the anc's plan. dont allow building of new powerplants, promise all, and keep people in poverty and ignorance, that way they can keep control of the masses.
until the masses outgrow stupidity, and outgrow the anc that clearly f*''s them over all the time, they should not expect much better

Eskom TURN THEM OFF. TELL THEM TO GO TELL ANC TO PAY THE BILL! first Zooma needs to pay back the money now he needs to pay the bill as well >.< this is going to make Juju rework his song

Maybe the power is drained by short circuits caused by the DSTV decoders mounted on the shiny shacks...

Free electricity promises which probably included fine print.
Nobody wants to read the terms and conditions and then complain afterwards. Ignorance is such a stupid excuse.

How many more failed promises will a person believe before he/she accepts that they've been used to manipulate?

At least one more, as always.

I suppose Eskom does not want to install prepaid meters as they get hacked easily!

Nothing a Streetwise 2 and free t-shirt can't fix.

From the referenced article

News24 saw quite a few yards around Soweto which had numerous shacks erected in one yard. Some of the shiny, silver shacks had DSTV decoders mounted on them.

Strange place to install your DSTV decoder :twisted:

They also promised them 1 000 000 houses, free washing machines, free KFC, free T-shirts, etc, etc. It's taken them 20 years, after false promises during every election campaign, to finally figure out that the ANC actually doesn't give a **** about them?

As jy dom is moet jy ***...

and our gov have many of a special kind of official... they're not experienced politicians, or experienced business people... many not experienced anything.... they're just bros and comrades, who get to enjoy the tax money.
so they will say anything, and if you believe all they say, over and over, then u the fool
