Water contamination crisis.

Basically, since this bad load-shedding began, out tap-water had a muddy taste to it. About 11 years ago it was the same thing and a wormish algae was found in the supply, which grew due to lack of proper treatment by the municipality.

Our water has also got a brown tinge. Normally has strong chemical smell. Our water has been a mess for a few years now:sick:

I have said this so may times, people are going to start throwing things at me.....
Anyways, one more time: :D

Burst water pipes in our area are escalating exponentially.
It is not just one or two now and then, but many.
Right now, within 200m of my house, there are three excavations - all from this week.
One of those is on its 4th "fix" in 3 months or so.

If that is what can be seen - imagine what the huge pipes are like where no one (the public) can readily see?

Electricity problems are very easy to see - no lights = no power = problems.
Broken pipes with microbial bacterial "issues" = not easy to see.

If you can, take time off from work and watch these escavations.... they are running the water out of the pipes to stuff them with fibre cables...
Our neighbourhood is Full of water 'leaks' and runoffs and ive got great pictures of telkom/muni excavations with cable hanging out waiting to be connected...
So all the guys that are gagging for fibre to the home should be threeeled.....:)

Seriously guys, where does the radiation come from?

From what I understand ( ! ), gold mines.
Uranium is a by-product of this mining.


EDIT: For a conspiracy theory answer - leaking Koeberg fuel canisters.

The only fibre I am likely to get at home comes in a box with a big "K" on it :D

You should work as Tbone's speech writer:cool:
 
The collapse of this infested country has now begun. Well it shows what the current regime have accomplished in all the time they have been in control. Simple, if you take all the money out of a company that company will crumble. Seems some monkeys cannot learn that.
I imagine PW Botha is laughing in his grave. :(

Pik was in the Rapport today. His entire comments can be summed up as "Zim 2.0".
 
Ah, the kings of infrastructure the ANC are. What the stuff is wrong with them? Why is taking a step backwards seen as progress?

Botha moved away from Verwoerd's strict racist ideology
Botha chipped the apartheid edifice by slowly moving away from Verwoerd's strict racist ideology. In 1979, Botha became the first prime minister to visit Soweto with seven Cabinet colleagues. In that same year, the Wiehahn Commission recommended that black trade unions should be legally recognised. Suzman regarded Botha's acceptance of this revolutionary idea as one of his most important legacies.
