I must say, I would prefer not to have a quite overthrow happen in the background while the lights are off. Firing up people over a current issue means they might not be thinking clearly about the implications of their actions.

Okay, I know this is uncalled for on such a serious thread, but every time I see "heads must roll!" I am thinking....they can't , I believe it is because of the ears! *scuttles away, hanging head in shame for having such a silly light hearted thought at such a seriously dark time...*

<- head rolling
I thought it had more to do with the brains unbalancing the head....although in this case I don't think we need to worry. We already know that they don't have ears or brains
We can lose all sorts of things, but as long as we don't lose our sense of humour, it's all tolerable.
Nice one, Debbie.

There isn't much sign of heads rolling any time soon going by the special sitting of parliament on the electricity crisis today.
South Africans can save electricity by going to sleep earlier and boiling less water, Minerals and Energy Minister Buyelwa Sonjica told Parliament on Wednesday.
“Go to sleep earlier so that you can grow and be cleverer. Boil less water; use the microwave rather than the stove; take a shower and not a shallow bath,†she told a special sitting of Parliament to discuss the power crisis.
She was unveiling a 10-point plan to encourage South Africans to change their electricity-usage habits. Amid much heckling and jeering from some MPs, she criticised calls from “some quarters†to identify culprits and castigate them. “Crucify, crucify, crucify,†she said.

The thing is they all feel we must move on and rather look at solutions than trying to find someone to blame.
Well, I would feel the same if I realized just how pathetic my party has run the country until now and I will also want to forget and hope the country forget if I knew I proved just how incompetent I am.

And don't forget there have been no dams built lately, are we waiting for a year of low rainfall to find out that there was no forward planning as well?
You are mentioning a very important point there wynn! Without a doubt we now realise that the incompetence of our great government is even worse than any of us ever expected. I think we need to start digging into other critical matters as well before we have problems that are as serious or maybe more serious.
I am also concerned about the agriculture in this country. Maybe a good start is to look at where BEE was firmly applied to see how those industries are really doing. I remember having a discussion with a friend the other day about the state of our public roads. He does more travelling than me and it was clear that he was very unhappy with the state of our roads in terms of maintenance and capacity. A trip from 16:00 to 18:00 in the Sandton area, N1 and M1 also highlight that we will soon be grid locked. I suspect that then we will be called names because we are driving in a car alone on the N1,... Mmmmmmmmm sorry, they did that already!

I think it is a bit of a complicated thing to just widen the roads. The M1 is pretty much on its max. But one thing that can solve the problem is proper public transport. But they have been talking about that for years and the only thing I ever saw happening was the Gautrain project. However, that will not solve the problem Johannesburg. There is real traffic issues building from both the East and the West Rand and the Gautrain will not solve the issues there. Ontdekkers, Hendrik Potgieter and Main Reef road are almost at their max at peak hour, imo anyway. There is a crisis looming there...
