Eskom’s #RollingBlackouts Schedule Collapses into Chaos Leaving Traffic Lights Dead in Rush Hour Despite Promises!

Posted on Leave a comment

Eskom’s rolling blackout load shedding system, and its published schedules, have completely collapsed, causing so much chaos that no one is sure anymore when load shedding will be applied in a particular area, further exacerbating the energy crisis. Yet still it tries to pretend it is business as usual…

The embattled power supplier is currently enforcing its Phase 2 program of rolling power cuts nationwide, and had announced with great fanfare that city traffic will be “assisted” at peak times, by not applying power cuts from 6:00 to 9:00 in the morning, and then again from 16:00 in the afternoon to 18:00 to ensure that “dead” traffic lights do not allow traffic jams.

It worked one morning, and then not again, which made workers, industrialists, motorists businessman and even housewives hot under he collar.

Meanwhile, complaints are pouring in that Eskom’s “WhatsAPP” schedule differs from its schedul

Universities and the new SA – Barbaric actions of “previously disadvantaged groups” destroy tertiary institutions across the country free education

Posted on Leave a comment

The 2020 academic year has not yet begun and students are already busy. The SA Student Union has called on students to boycott all registration processes until their requirements have been met. Students’ student debt should now be written off while it has already been admitted that some students do not have to pay registration fees. Violent protests have already taken place at three tertiary institutions viz. Natal University, Potchefstroom University or North-West University and the University of SA. Northwestern University closed their campus at Mahikeng and ordered students to leave campus.

What is happening now is a continuation of violence and destruction of the properties of tertiary institutions in recent years. Students’ tireless actions have caused billions of dollars worth of damage to universities and technikons. The process is, of course, the result of the destruction of schools throughout the country.

How long tertiary institut

Gauteng is in chaos following controversial Lesufi’s plans to place white children in black neighborhoods

Posted on Leave a comment

The controversial Minister of Education in Gauteng that plans to place whites in black residential schools is a complete failure and with only four days left, many children will not know where to go on the first school day of 2020.

Although Panyaza Lesufi vehemently denies that this is his intention, educators point out that he has by no means taken into account the proven system of children going to the school closest to their place of residence.

His system of putting children online is a huge failure, and hundreds of children have not yet been placed in any school on Monday.

Nearly 9,000 scholars have yet to be notified where they will be placed, and many parents have decided to avoid the chaos and now want to put their children in CVO schools.

However, Panyaza Lesufi’s assurance that every child will be placed has led to several schools now facing overcrowding, which is putting quality education back into question.

Pretoria CBD plunged into chaos – shops were looted, buildings set on fire and public transport suspended

Posted on Leave a comment

Taxi drivers took to the streets in Pretoria after one of their “colleagues” was apparently killed by a foreigner.

Several foreign stores were looted and a building was set alight. Commuters were stranded after public transport was suspended.

Police had to chase rioters who prevented the firefighters from reaching the scene.

Pretoria Mayor Stephens Mokgalapa disapproved of the action, saying that retaliatory crimes would not be tolerated. Passers-by were hit with bottles and stones and especially media representatives were greeted with aggression.

Pretoria’s city center has been plunged into chaos for the past two days, and people are advised to avoid that part of the city.

ANC at fault for municipal chaos, collapse of infrastructure and to blame for water shortages

Posted on Leave a comment

The single biggest reason why residents in certain municipal regions have water shortages is the chaos in municipalities across the country, particularly those under ANC governance that do not pay their water accounts.

The Minister admitted that part of the problem is the collapse of infrastructure. It is too bad that she did not also admit that it is the ANC’s fault.

It is becoming increasingly unacceptable to blame the previous dispensation. Apartheid has nothing to do with the ANC’s fraud, corruption and sheer inability to govern. Municipalities’ outstanding debt to nine different water councils currently amounts to R14 billion. The money cannot simply be written off.

And the water that is available gets wasted or polluted. In April this year, the FF Plus lodged a criminal complaint against the manager of the Mafube Local Municipality due to the dumping of raw sewage in the Wilge River at Frankfort. The municipality’s sewage plant has

Loadshedding left a trail of destruction in South Africa, weakening the poor economy by at least R10bn; this should be a costly lesson for the Ramaphosa government

Posted on Leave a comment

The five days of loadshedding last week left a trail of destruction in South Africa, and should be an expensive lesson for the Ramaphosa government.

It was a week in which transformers exploded, damaging equipment in homes and industries, virtually irreparably damaging substations and even weakening the poor economy by at least R10bn.

The load shed reached its end on Friday when Eskom got diesel again to start its generators who had been idle for days because there was no fuel.

In Johannesburg, there were at least ten neighborhoods for hours without power, which led to the water supply stalling, leaving thousands of people distressed, but elsewhere in the country there was chaos reported in the media.

However, whether the load shedding is finally finished, experts are doubted as it will take a long time before everything returns to an “almost normal” period.

ANOTHER DAY – ANOTHER “RACIST” SCHOOL – Just shortly after the Schweizer Reneke racism debacle, another racism uproar took place at a school in the North West province

Posted on Leave a comment

Yet again, parents had to remove their children from a North West school. And again innocent children are used in a diabolical political scheme to garner black votes.

Police and paramedics were on the scene as chaos erupted at Stilfontein Hoërskool after allegations of racism.

Vandalism has taken place with windows and doors broken after allegations that white children were treated better than black children. The reason for the protest and destruction of property was because the black parents weren’t happy that their children’s results weren’t as good as the white children’s results.

Last year, black students at the University of the North, burned and vandalized the university during protests and demanded separate exams for black students. They claimed that the regular exams they had to write like everyone else, were to difficult.

So, in a country where free goods and BEE jobs are handed to blacks like candy, they
