SABC because they stopped Sevende Laan :p

Nah, I voted SAPO. The fact that you have to be careful so that international shippers don't accidentally ship something to you via SAPO - otherwise you're screwed. The rest either doesn't affect me directly (Transnet / Denel / PetroSA) or you have altneratives (PRASA / SAA / SABC) or you're just so used to them being bad and got solar (Eskom).
 
Maybe unpopular opinion - but SANRAL is the best of the worst? They might have hick-ups but drive around in South Africa and you can tell what roads are managed by SANRAL and which roads are managed by municipalities. Mostly because SANRAL roads are half decent and municipal roads aren't. And SANRAL doesn't stand hand in cap for bailouts all the time. So yes - they had the e-toll debacle. And some other issues. But compare to the rest on the list they are performing brilliantly.
 
Could not vote for all of the above. Had to settle for PRASA. Can remember how we took trains to school...or work. Used to be a wonderful trip from Cape Town to Joburg back in the day. What is left now?

Actually Transnet same thing. Why we sitting with all these trucks on the roads and why SANRAL can afford these fancy buildings and team building exercises.
 
Eskom is the only one that affects and irritates me directly, so they get my vote.
 
All of them are really badly run.

"Massive" achievement from the ANC to actually achieve such a near impossible task.
