Why is this guy not mentioning the debt that councils have (especially rural councils) due to the corrupt polititians? What would you do if you were a business that had some customers (councils) that pay and others not, you would cut the non paying customers' credit.

@@gregorymalchuk272 no there are very much people in eskom that are capable of running eskom , it’s many factors including corruption , deliberate Sabotage, but the biggest factor is the global emission standards , did you know that there is a coal power plant in sa , that is only given clearance to use its generating capacity now but until 2025 , capacity of over 1000 megawatts . But because of emission standards , it was only allowed to operate at half , and we have 10 decommissioned coal powered plants in sa , half of them can be operational if we wanted to be

Energy racism by the ANC against the black community? what are you talking about ? load shedding has nothing too do with aphartaid but with a financial deficit of the current government to be able too pay for oil imports and the downgrades that they brought on their country

If all the coal burning steam-electric generating units in South Africa had an availability of 85% (normal western standards), there would be no load shedding. Instead, corruption and affirmative action have rotted out the competence level of Eskom, and Eskom stations have an availability of 50% and falling. Hence load shedding.

Honestly that might end with another chernobyl. Corruption within not just the gov but the workforce would have to be eradicated before even thinking about anything nuclear... Watched a short doc a few weeks ago about how so many facilities keep requiring service and spare parts, it was cause some workers sabotages the equipment for a quick buck. They get payed by the repair companies. So no to nuclear in SA for atleast a decade or two

We used to have load shedding incidents here. Until the local government built a new power station after numerous complaints.

Would it be wrong to say that black South Africans did better under apartheid? No it would not.

Thanks ANC, just thanks!!

Maybe if the politicians used the tax money to develop and update the power supplies and the country in general, instead of eating foie gras, things wouldn't be so bad? I'm not from South Africa, so what would I know, but I imagine the corruption to be quite severe at this point. And absolutely, I understand the transition after the apartheid ended must've been very hard to adjust to, but instead of chasing the white population away, embracing the knowledge which they possessed would be a wiser move to educate the future generations. But still, I understand. You wouldn't make friends with the devil immediately.

Wars are expensive activities, and when a government is economically isolated, the expense of maintaining an orc war machine, infested with corruption, becomes harmful. Wars take years of study, planning and in many cases the cost of making them prevents them from happening. Even before the war against Ukraine, the Russian economy was not something flashy. They had a GDP similar to that of Brazil and frankly, our economy is tragic with inflation and public deficits that make our purchasing power, generation of goods and services and per capita income always below the ideal. A war would ruin our economy if everyone in the world turned their backs on Brazil for invading Suriname or Uruguay, for petty and lying reasons like Pootin does with Ukraine. It's no surprise that ruZZia is deservedly going to hell.

incompetent leadership and corruption are basically two main culprits of South Africa's current downturn, and those are two things that are hard to eradicate.

I'm living in South Africa. This got a lot of things wrong.

4:02 is it still racist when the politicians are also black? No it is a class based prejudice. Poor people are being denied power. Rich people (who might be white or black although probably white) are receiving preferential access to power. The same is probably true of businesses and manufacturers. Is this racism when it is being used by black politicians and officials or is it simply corruption? An unfortunately equal opportunity endeavor.

It is not 185 without continious power and the state of disaster for power has ended.

Privatizing would be the best option. The more socialized the country has become, the worse it's getting. Just look at Venezuela
