2008 was a good starting point to put power into the hands of independent contractors. Would have been a good start instead of sitting pontificating for 13 years how to angle in on making profit off everyone.
Fault lies with the people voting, or not voting the wrong people into power, never reprimanding them when things started going wrong.
Monday (tomorrow) we will more than likely be back into rolling blackouts. We will have the 'pandemic' arrive on the 2nd December for 75 days to curb deaths on roads over Christmas Season, all looking for noddy badges, now hoodwink people into believing it is in their interest.... Say no more!
The motto is to NEVER privatise, as then experienced contactors would have been appointed and no kickbacks can be taken. How can you reprimand a person if you have taken money from them ?
So now we are all sitting in the dwang.
The givers and the takers have enough money tp pay and go off the the grid, but the people are left to suffer.
Now with this latest voting mix things might start to change. A big Might, but one can only hope.
Ha, I don't even want to reply to this comment Lady Joan.
One lot learned from the previous, just did it with way more finesse, cleared the coffers out much quicker.
Now effectively and efficiently destroyed, let the rebuild start... when?
All we need to add to last comment is possible prohibition to make someone NDZ happy, lack of punishment for the ones who deserve it, this is wielding power because they can!
Oh yes, the students have become the masters.
Rebuild will not start in our lifetimes.
What could one contractor possibly do with 16 late model luxury cars? Not even to talk about the 25 million Rand mansion. So many questions and no answers.
Owe 10Rand on your Tax submittance and they will hound you, but what about the billions that are slipping through the net? Punishment is a laughing matter and the small ones will always be forced to pay.
Majority do not pay tax that is left to a handful. Want the 'colonialist' fancy car, shoes and watch eventually will not be affordable living on grants, theft is already on the up take, quick money with no protection for public, why work?
And now our power generation company wants the handful of taxpayers to pay for a 200 million or billion loan. The handful of taxpayers will also have to pay for that failed E-Toll venture.
And then the handful of taxpayers will have to shell out for the two White Elephants called Medupi and Kusile. On and on we go on the merry go round.
Currently sitting without water....!
Smile awhile, the birds are singing, sun still comes up and goes down, gnashing of teeth has become latest anthem, relax accept what we are able to do.
Oh what a pain, add to that black outs and you are really tortured.
We are supposed to have a load shed right now, but the Steenbras dam has saved Cape Town again.
I like your title for our new national song and now we will have to add some lyrics to it.
Hang in there girl.
