    You only noticed now?
    Maybe no need to "observe the problem" a little more and just act...

    this is not new seriously anyone remember the 2008 warning that pushed back maintenance on our power plants?

    our power plants need 120 days per unit to get it to function properly now there are 6 units per plant some have more others have less that is a f-cking given but it doesnt change the fact that they need 120 f-cking days to fix it

    bite the bullet put off the f-cking lights get the sh-t done and the problem will be solved by next year... and we may actually get investors by then or we can just cry about it and watch investors run away. same sh-t same stink just with out investors we will be f-cked beyond repair. choice is how badly f-cked you want to be in the end

    I think Brett just had a little 'Starship Enterprise' moment....... I've got more faith that he'll recover than Eskom .

    Typing this as my office is down without power right now, I'm acutely aware that's not setting the bar particularly high

    cabletheft put the f-cking lights out here more then eskom does so really if it is not eskom it is our municipalities that cannot protect the cables we are rats on the f-cking titanic neck deep in sh-t we don't need.

    Stopping cable theft.

    To stop cable theft, we should go without cables. if we were to put a little 'antenna' on each side of the telephone poles, it would take a little time but be much cheaper than usual chords.

    Or, we could try to observe where most of the cables are, mainly in a business complex or near a train line, yes? if we were to place something thinner and cheaper there, it would be easy to replace, and, there would be no market for this type of recycled 'product.' then, they could use something that is not valuable, like zinc, which can be gotten from boiling sand for god's sake.

    if the municipalities cant be bothered to keep our national key points safe then nothing we do will solve the problem the end

    we have a army it is a f-cking key point so go protect it that is why it is called key point you dont need a expensive rent-o-cop we already spend billions in tax on the army
