Stage 4 Rolling Blackouts: The writing is on the wall for Eskom Eskom is implementing stage 4 loadshedding due to the fact that there has been no proper maintenance over the past ten years. says COO Jan Oberholzer. Despite the dire warnings, the writing on the wall, the increased tariffs, the failed interventions, all plans have failed. South Africans in all walks of life are car rying this burden. Businesses are buckling because of this.
Bedrog slenter Lesers moet kennis neem van die nuwe slenter hoe polisie beamptes die publiek aftrek en hulle oorhaal om van hul geld ontslae te raak. Wanneer jy afgetrek word stel hul jou in kennis dat jou tipe voertuig gesoek word vir ‘n groot bedrog klag waar ter duisende rande geroof is. Jou vingerafdrukke word onmiddelik geneem. Dan word jou bankkaart versoek om vir enige verdagte tranksaksies te kyk. Met die gevolg is jy moet jou pin gee saam met die kaart. Dan word dit in ‘n koevertjie geplaas saam met jou pin nommer, geskrywe op ‘n papier asook ‘n papiertjie wat sê dat jy reeds deursoek is, wat jy gee by die padblokkade vorentoe, wat jou dan net laat deurgaan as jy vir hul die koevertjie gee. Moenie jou pin gee nie dis ‘n nuwe slenter.
Our key public enterprises are clearly unable to deliver public goods. Despite 55 days of coal stock levels, the entity is unable to plan for adverse weather. This follows hard on the national airline being placed in business rescue, and is clearly indicative of the government’s inability to manage the infrastructure it inherited. This heralds a signal failure that will critically affect citizens, industry and the economy. Oberholzer says he doesn’t want to “get into the reasons” why we haven’t addressed the causes and solutions available to deal with this failure. Parlement believes it’s high time the culture at Eskom of command and control ends. Open cards are required and the
country needs to be taken into their confidence. This a time when factories are working overtime to meet production deadlines and families are relying on certainty over the coming festive season.
Make no mistake stage 4 loadshedding will have catastrophic consequences. Eskom and its shareholder needs to account to South Africa, and for once, stem the tide that may well drive us into recession again.
