It seems South Africa seems to be going under some serious changes, from BEE (black economic empowerment), to a Jocob Zuma being a candidate for president(he has numerous cases against him, including rape, fraud, arms deals, etc..)
But the change that irritates us (south africans the most,) is that all of a suddent Eskom (the electricity providers for SA), has more than enough power to sell to other countries , but way too little power for its two biggest cities. since this week we have been expereiencing rather annoying power cuts, which has caused businesses to lose billions, modems to blow , etc...
Now its not like we dont have enough power stations, infact we got more than enough, including Nuclear power, wind power, solar power which is available on da market, and also the traditional coal powerplants.
The powercuts has also costed me my job as I cant work until the 15th
The thing is, SA is changing unfavourably and if we want to host the 2010 world cup, then a start would be to keep our electricity and not selll it.
