Lets stand together for POWER

I watched Carte Blanche last night with disbelief. 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 five the country.

The ridiculous statements that APARTHEID is to blame for it.. dear Heavens the very people who warned them in a white paper that the country will run out of power was totally ignored even while the pre 1994 preparation Held good until 2007.

Eskom management was paid bonusses 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.. BLACK people being done in by their own kind !

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. Why push the head of Corporate services,( who happens to be a white male on tv, when you Mr black CEO are the one who kills your own kind and others with unplanned , pathetic management.

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. They pay poor truckers a lousy FOURTY CENTS per ton to transport coal. No one in their right mind can make a living on that.

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.

Let us stand together. It might take a while but united we can create a new South Africa, learning from our mistakes
