EDITOR – The ‘load shedding’ has now become a swear word in SA and given so many negatives notwithstanding a few positives such as The Rugby World Cup and now Miss Universe, I believe that the confidence levels on the ground for the ANC led government is at its lowest ever.
This kind of negative vibe provides fertile ground for a hostile take-over/coup. In many countries as we have witnessed over this decade especially arising out of the Arab Spring the people on the ground had lost their patience and allowed a hostile take-over of tyrannical regimes eg. Libya, Iraq and so on.
With Eskom performing at its worst even with all the bail outs and support it’s evident that the Government has lost the plot and has no capacity to manage this country and I won’t be surprised that if there was a snap election the ANC would lose the next election. When people on the ground reach this level of despondency they would back any viable alternative and the EFF would be the logical alternative.
With Eskom we understand from reports from energy experts that they have been buying inferior level coal at exorbitant prices which translates to corruption which is evidently the only explanation. The only thing that works at Eskom is the timer switch that without fail will switch off the lights at 8am and on at 10am perfectly on time. So don’t believe that Eskom is totally useless.
