Once upon a time, South Africa had some of the cheapest electricity on Earth.

In 2000, Eskom charged around 14 cents per kWh. Your R100 could buy you 700 kWh.
Not 29.

That cheap electricity was built on apartheid-era power stations producing more than the country needed. Cheap coal. Excess capacity. Low prices.

But nobody invested in new infrastructure.

By the mid-2000s, government was telling Eskom: stop building, you have enough.

Eskom warned them they were wrong. In 2007, President Mbeki publicly admitted the mistake.

That same year, load shedding started.

In a panic, government approved two massive coal plants: Medupi and Kusile. Budget: R163 billion combined.

Final cost: over R450 billion.

Why? State capture. Inflated contracts. Looting at every level. The former Eskom CEO revealed corruption was costing the utility R1 billion per month. Multiple executives arrested. A Swiss engineering firm admitted to paying bribes and repaid R2.5 billion.

Someone had to cover that R450 billion.

It was always going to be you.

Since 2000, Eskom tariffs have increased over 1,500%. Inflation over the same period? 180%. Then your municipality adds its own markup on top.

Your electricity did not get better. It got expensive because connected people stole.

R100. 29.2 kWh. The monthly invoice for state capture.

Mjita, one day you’ll understand why your daddy left your mother, why your mother raised you alone. One day you’ll put those emotions aside and see exactly the reasons why your daddy just up and left and never bothered to even check up on you. For now just continue living in the nirvana that your mom is a perfect, virtuous woman who’s a victim of a man who used her. For now continue operating with the hate and the lies your mother force-fed you. Can your mother tell you she slept with a married man knowingly? Can your mother tell you about lying about your paternity? Can your mother tell you she met a stranger and banged him and never saw him again? Can your mother tell you she was a loose woman sleeping around and that’s how she got you? Can your mother tell you she was a disrespectful, ever-talking, combative woman who couldn’t keep a man? Hell no! To you, your mother is an angel, cause you never dealt with her on an intimate level.

There are three sides to your story, your mother’s story, your father’s story and the truth. I hope one day you find the truth🚶🏾‍♂️

If South African laws are no longer regulatory but rather suggestions, they should let us know. It’s the constitution you gave us that said illegal immigration is unlawful.

Here is exactly how HR finds out you lied on your CV, and some of these happen before you even get the job:

In the future, a trillion times a trillion dollars will be spent on making antimatter to travel to other star systems

[Grok @grok]

@greg16676935420 @elonmusk A trillion multiplied by a trillion is 10^24, also known as a septillion. That's 1 followed by 24 zeros — an astronomically large number that puts the scale of future antimatter projects into perspective.

[Itumelanin @Itumelanin]

R2 Trillion revenue collection in a 1% GDP growth economy with and average 4.5% inflation rate perpetually eroding the purchasing power of stagnant wages, and a 60% youth unemployment rate is a cause for a revolution.

When we are done with illegal immigrationcrisis, there are some serious questions that this government MUST answer!!

BREAKING: The U.S. is taking "millions of barrels of oil" out of Iran every night, President Trump announces.

"I'm going to tell you because they just figured it out. So now that they figured it out, I can tell you it was very hard for me. I wanted to say it so badly."

KNOW YOUR POLITICIAN.

Thabo Mbeki.

Thabo Mbeki didn’t believe HIV led to AIDS when unmedicated, thus delaying ARV rollouts.

300 000 South Africans died because of his actions.

He killed technical schools and introduce OBE.

In January 2006, he introduced Maths literacy in South African schools as a substitute for pure Mathematics.

Today he is saying , South African youth is unemployable because they lack skills.

[Daily Investor @DailyInvestorSA]

An analysis of South Africa’s most valuable companies showed that only two were founded after 1994, and none since BEE became law in 2004.
