@MbalulaFikile After 30 years you now want to ‘address the issue’? After letting in millions of illegals?
Anyone who believes you are serious is a fool.
@Sir_Segalo@Sinawo_Thambo Actually, the Indian community of Durban of KZN only arrived in SA more than two centuries after slaves were imported to the Cape.
So, not around the same time at all.
@MbalulaFikile Explain why, despite ‘the facts on the table’, our country has been overrun by millions of illegal immigrants, since your party started governing?
Government may have committed R12.5 billion to border security, but it sure as hell never got to the border.
Hallooooo! We all know how you roll. You pretend to spend money on some big project, make a huge noise about it and quietly steal most of it.
You think we are stupid? If all that money really reached the border, there would be no porous border problem now.
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.
@PresidencyZA@CyrilRamaphosa Please, we all know whistleblowers are NOT properly protected. Don’t pretend you care. How many have died ? Assassinated, in cold blood.
