Is this really the way to deal with an electricity disaster in South Africa? Good grief!
The mere fact that this isn't causing outrage says everything about our country.

So VIPs, political VIPs, can now use their blue lights and black BMWs and elbow other cars out of the road to deposit their children at school while the rest of us have to wait at traffic lights that don’t work because of loadshedding?

The failed ANC government wants you to pay 18.65% more for electricity. Yet Patricia De Lille’s department spent R1.3 million, in 2021, on generators for Minister’s homes. Let’s reject this disgraceful price increase, join us on the streets on 25 January.

A scary story. In about 2008 I asked an ANC politician how he and his family were planning to live in SA when everything has collapsed? He replied ‘we all have a place outside SA’. His place was in Lesotho he said. We are on our own guys!
