Lights Out South Africa

What is really happening in South Africa with the Electricity?

Forget a home cooked meal. Loadshedding 3 times a day for 4-hours. Power stations exploding (sabotage or accident?) Food going bad in the fridge due to no electricity. No more hot baths. Is this the new South Africa that was promised in 1994?

Black Communities are not paying for electricity as they were promised that once Apartheid is over they will receive free electricity. Take for example: The biggest Township Soweto (Population 1 271 628) alone owes R15 Billion ($1 040 677 500).

Eskom’s excuse is that they don’t have Coal, yet they are exporting coal to China.

Illegal power connections is happening across South Africa in Townships. Yet nothing is done about it. Eskom is broke, they need bailouts from the Government to keep the lights on. Yet only a few thousand people are paying for electricity.

One begins to wonder if there is not more to the story……
