No no NO Eskom!
I watched Carte Blanche on M-Net last night with disbelief. As usual
they did their homework.It is bad enough when you are a victim of load
shedding in Gauteng, having to hear that you must buy a generator, gas
stoves and live with controlled power outages because Eskom does not
have enough *power* to feed the country.
The ridiculous statements that the previous government is to blame for
it.. pushing aside the experts who warned them in a white paper that
the country will run out of power in 2007as per solidarity..
Eskom management was paid bonuses of R58 million Rand!!! This whilst
our Gold and platinum mines had to close on Friday and over 400 000
people are now without work.. being done in by their own kind !
This whilst the country is already hurt badly by inflation. Bonuses
for WHAT?
Eskom has no problem to lie on national media. The CEO of Eskom said
that because of load shedding, they would stop giving power to the
neighbouring countries.. yet phone calls to Namibia, Botswana and
Zimbabwe confirmed that they getting their almost normal quotas on a
daily basis.
Eskom CEO also refused to talk to Carte Blanche. Convenient.
Are you going to feed the 400 000 black miners and their families?
We are told on national media that load shedding are extra bad because
the coal is wet. Someone else makes a comment that wet coal works
better ! We are shown pictures with hardly any coal near power
stations. Eskom refuses to give out figures.. saying that for
*security* reasons they can not tell us how much coal is available.
Many small and medium business are suffering because of the situation
and we are told it will not get better soon!
I foresee crime rising because hungry people steal. I see the country
being raped in more than one way.
Africa had one light at the bottom end.. beautiful South Africa. We
are now also slowly fading into the dark of bad management.
Dark Africa, forgotten by the world, forgotten by their own.
