Tshwane cuts off Denel's power, gets paid immediately - but should have handled it better

[Thor]

City of Tshwane, say it!

Never.

It's still Pretoria to me.

I was born and bred here, and will forevermore use the name Pretoria until I return to dust.

Single ply toilet paper rolls?

Sandpaper in lieu of TP?

Or newspaper?

Even better, those shopping specials pamphlets they have at Checkers/PnP/Spar etc?

The name of the city hasn't changed. Just the municipality.

Luckily we do not have a looting problem at my work. Yet.

Although the TP is rationed and Procurement is making notes which section's using TP a lot more.

I save on TP usage at home by doing No2's at work. (evil me)

Weekends I do it at home, no good trying to hoard it.

5 heaped teaspoonns of custard powder Friday at lunch, 3 servings of Brooxlax and some prunes just before work on Monday....

TP problems... What tp problems?

 

[The_Librarian]

The above 2 problems have both its advantages and disadvantages.

And I don't like to think of the disadvantages and the resultant consequences ...

Noted that the Ohannesburg municipality is copying tactics as well, cutting off defaulters and force them to pay.

cadres will not be happy.

 

[The_Librarian]

Tshwane municipality already tried rebooting Denel (by turning the power off and on again) and that made no difference whatsoever.

Then they must run an antivirus program, like RemoveBEE or BEE virus removal?

"Cutting electricity to the facility could have created a national security risk."

Shame, neh? Imagine being Denel and being known to be absolutely corrupt and incompetent, but you still think you're vital to national security.

Deleting all partitions in fdisk would amount to the same thing and take less time

I just love fdisk /mbr

Director at African Defence Review, Darren Olivier, said the impact of the cutoff might be less severe than at other facilities because activity levels were low at the campus.

But he warned that it would still have been “pretty disastrous” if it had continued over an extended period.

Imagine how disruptive load shedding is then for those who do pay .....
