Electricity Service in SA on the point of collapse

After being in a state of decline for years Eskom's services seem on the point of collapse with level 6 load-shedding now in progress.   That level implies that consumers get electricity for 14 hours per day - and being without electricity for 10 hours a day.

So despite desperate efforts to keep the country going after the ANC took over control of the country - everything is collapsing due to Socialist control of service delivery, gross incompetence, bribery and corruption on a massive scale,  The country is self-destructing rapidly and nobody knows what will happen if the ANC Government collapses.

SA has no future and it is likely the country will go backwards to the standard African level at a rapid pace.          

China or Russia will soon own Africa. It may be an upgrade

... and to think you comrade mike joined their clan in search of self enrichment.

they were raping us then just as they rape us now.

but while you were a part of them it was ok ... now that you find yourself on the other side, it no longer is.

you should have remained a card carrying member of the anc ...  comrade.

Well, well what a surprise that everything is or has gone to ruin.

The surprise being that it has taken this long for the "Locals" to destroy everything.

I for one had no illusions about what would eventually happen in South Africa even at a young age.

We as a family decided to move early in out life and we have never regretted the move.

My children, their children are all save, healthy and secure  plus my wifes sisters and their families as well as her deceased parents.

Thankfully.

The true picture of most countries in Africa is one of crime, corruption and uneducated morons in control.

We feel for all those who trusted that life would remain safe and secure and for those who wish to continue living in RSA ........GOOD LUCK.

One must remember that irrespective of your situation it is never to late.

Plum some things can never be fixed.

Look at Africa most countries are at war with themselves (tribal etc), broke and rely on Western civilization to keep them feed, healthy and surviving.

Infrastructure and services are non existing or run and financed by Western sources.

To late I say, but hopefully I will be proven wrong.

Perhaps when China takes over everything will improve but the locals are going to regret that day.

BIG TIME.

thats just it arthur. 

where does one flee to?

 nowhere is safe

you were wise to get your family off the continent of africa ... its a sheeeathole ...  however ... your safe secure lifestyle is a temporary state.

the world as we know it is on the verge of radical change.

theres a new dog in town and he's going to shake things up like never before.

everyone of us will be faced with the most important decision of our lives.

its no longer about the now, arthur ... those days have come and gone

Africa may be better off following a China model where people are limited to 2 children per couple. As could be the case with other third-world economies. 

From a practical point of view, I am not sure how China enforce this. However, as soon as China had a lower birth rate, it turned the corner. It will soon become the biggest economy in the world, and their society is on the up. Pity about their leader Chiwi appointing himself for life but China's middle class appears to continue to be growing. 

The economy needs to grow in proportion to GDP, otherwise, the country will get worse and worse. 

Africa has failed to build a middle class, but this problem is also the same in the most extreme 3rd world places.

If the population growth can be slowed, it will give a place an opportunity to build the middle class, and ideally make the middle class the majority. 

If the GDP is 1%, and the population growth is 4% each year, it is basic economics that a country will go backwards and not forwards.

It is always the fault of the Whites - not themselves and the ANC leadership.

One of the real Socialism elements is where the State is in total control of all services delivery as is more and more the case in SA and lately in the USA.   The State control represents that they prescribe everything you may do and may not do on your career - what you may eat and may not eat - whether you can have holidays and whether you may go somewhere or may not go on holiday . what children may learn in school and may not learn.    In life everything is subject to bureaucratic control.   Elements of the above is already in evidence in the USA- where the Democrats are in the process continuously in a desperate effort to rape the USA Constitution.

Birth control is fine as a concept - but birth control without proper border control will never be an answer to problems.    As a matter of fact it adds to problems in an aging society and they need workers - so at present the EU is welcoming foreign invasions like happened in 2015 and is effectively ongoing.     

Th e problem is worse in the USA where the Biden Regime envcouraging through their open border policy is welcoming illegal migrants in the believe that they will politically support the Democratic Party in future.     There are approximately 25 000 illegals entering the USA on a daily basis.    Based on those figures illegals are contributing 30% of the popilation growth in the USA,   Reduced births will just add to the problem and future population growth through illegal migrants will get worse.  

In SA the position is even worse.   Inability to control the border was inherited from the previous SA Regime - by 1994 there were already approximately 8 million foreign (from Africa)  illegals in SA.  That figure has more than doubled  since 1994 and  comprises about 25% of the present SA population.    So how will birth control  save that situation?                  

Reach out to Elon Musk, be empathetic about him being bullied at school & get him to build a few Battery Farms.

The cruel joke is that their youth are being indoctrinated with the idea that Africa’s failure is somebody else’s fault.

All the new generations are being indoctrinated like that, not only Africans. Millenials and Gen Z blame the boomers for not creating favourable circumstances for them to live in, slavery is taught to be a white man's thing when in fact virtually all peoples of the world slaved away for centuries, including black Africans with black African slaves, white Europeans with white slaves, etc.

If you want to move forward in the world, you have one choice: play the hand you're dealt and take responsibility for yourself. The blame game doesn't move you forward one inch. It's just an excuse to get a handout.

Well said Pakie...

The white man will be blamed for centuries to come..... we may not have to accept it, but we will have to live with it....

It's the easiest and quickest excuse to make for any scenario

I read an article on the BBC website in which the people in countries that fell under British rule and are still in the Commonwealth are asking for an apology from King Charles for all the wrongs that "they" inflicted on the locals whilst under British rule.

Plus they are threatening to withdraw from the Commonwealth.

If King Charles is smart he should seriously consider and accept the idea with two conditions attached:

1. Return all the funds that these countries received as aid from the wealthy members of the            commonwealth since day one.

2. Return  all their "Brother" and "Sisters" residing in Commonwealth countries back to their          home countries.

This alone will save billions of tax payers contributions and be free of the burden of ongoing monetary support to the Puppet Kings and rulers of Dark Africa.

This will also stop the chain migration of "Family members " which is a problem as they are all "Brother" and "Sisters" going back generations.

Gets my vote....how about you?

Here's the fucking irony... the whities from Azania come here bitching about the "locals" BUT... here's the kicker... they ALWAYS come here as lefties supporting the EXACT ideologies that fucked Azania. ALWAYS. Wjen it all goes wrong... don't come here. We have enough fucking problems as it is with Marxists that lefties have screwing everything up... we don't need or want you... better stay in Azania where you can shallow in the mess YOU created. Yeah that's right... can't blame the darkies for the social cataclysm you inflicted on their societies... reap what YOU have fucking sown. At least have the fucking guts to own it like a man. Jeez. 

Well you guys elected your government.

They then allowed all these Commies and what else into your country and you guys still voted for them at election time.

Sorry to hear about the folks from SA supporting the same ideologies, but one Peter Hain for example was actually a POM who supported the ANC, returned to the UK and became one of your Labour elected officials.

Sure he did a ton of damage to SA-UK relations and also fostered donations and arms for the ANC terries.

But the bottom line is he was BRITISH by birth.

We are lucky - as from today level 6 loadshedding has been reduced to level 5.  Tha means effectively that as from today instead of being without electricity for be between 10 and 11 hours per day - we are now without electricity for between 6 and 7 hours per day.

What is happening is still a bloody farce.        

It's no farce Maaik. It's the harsh reality of living under ANC rule...load sheading is with us since 2008 and the government knew of the pending disaster way before that. The weren't able to prevent it, nor to fix it during the past 14 years, so there's absolutely no reason to believe they will any time soon...in fact things has gotten gradually worse...and will get even worse still...until our electorate get rid of the cANCer in parliament...

According to Rapport this Sunday 300 experts who know how to fix the problems and get the power stations operational have made their services available and are standing by, but because of political interference De Ruyter can't appoint them. The grid is collapsing, our economy shot and losing billions of rands every day at stage 6, but the fat cats still want to play power games. I guess white men can't be seen fixing black problems.

And Eskom still want their 32% increase...

You can't fucking make this shit up....

"Well you guys elected your government.

They then allowed all these Commies and what else into your country and you guys still voted for them at election time."

This is a very big generalization.....

It's a bit difficult to get changes put in place when you are out numbered and out voted almost 9 - 1

Peter Hain was born in Kenya to South African parents. He is not British. 

"It's a bit difficult to get changes put in place when you are out numbered and out voted almost 9 - 1"

More like 12-1

You wrote the following giving me great delight:-

"More like what the far right is doing to the average American except those stupid pricks are smiling while been arse raped"

The fact is the Trump Administration in legislation passed was centrist - aimed at helping  the poor of all races - so your story is BS as per normal:   Here is a more accurate description:-

 More like what the far left is doing to the average American through bribery and corruption except those stupid pricks like you are smiling while been arse raped".   LMAO

becs his grandparents left the UK to settle in SA but  his parents moved to Kenya and yes he was hatched in Kenya and then they returned to SA.

That definitely does not make him a Saffer and that's the point I was making.
