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.

Imagine telling someone in 1999…

The year is 2026.

The President is Donald Trump in his second non consecutive term.

The richest man in the world is PayPal cofounder Elon Musk… but not because of fintech or Paypal. Because of rockets, electric cars, AI, satellites, brain chips and something called “Boring Company”.

Apple is worth trillions but its main business isn’t computers… its selling glass rectangles everyone stares at for 9 hours a day.

People don’t watch TV. They watch teenagers explain geopolitics, finance, and relationship advice in ~60 second videos.

The biggest taxi company owns no taxis.
The biggest hotel company owns no hotels.
The most powerful media companies are social networks where everyone argues with strangers for free.

Kids are making millions filming themselves playing video games.

AI Robots write emails, code, legal memos, songs, essays, and breakup texts.

The internet is mostly bots arguing with humans who are trying to prove they aren’t bots.

You can summon a car, groceries, a doctor, a date, a private jet, or a dog walker from your phone.

People pay real money for invisible currencies, digital monkeys, AI girlfriends and pictures that disappear after 24 hours.

The richest companies in the world don’t sell oil, steel, or cars. They sell attention, compute, data, and addiction.

And somehow, after all of that everyone is still using Excel.

Helen Zille went to Singapore to learn how that country became so successful. She came back and immediately tweeted that colonialism was not that bad and that South Africa (and Africa broadly) needed to follow Singapore’s example.

Zille didn’t mention that in Singapore, 80% of the population lives in houses built by the government, that the government builds housing so the people can live in them for cheap.

Helen Zille didn’t get much into how in Singapore, the government tells you which ethnicities are going to live next to each other and will mandate you to live next to a different ethnicity so that there’s no religious or ethnic tension.

This is not voluntary. A Chinese person may be forced to live alongside a Malay person and vice versa, regardless of whether he wants to. Quotas determine what proportion of each block must be Chinese, Malay, Indian, etc. It is a social engineering by government decree.
Not sure if Zille has the temerity to force a bunch of White people to go occupy some areas in Mitchell’s Plain.

Another thing that happens in Singapore, which I’m sure Zille cannot wait to implement is that you pay an additional tax for buying a second house, which can be up to 65% taxes if you want to buy more than one house. You can’t buy more than two houses, the government does not allow that. This is designed explicitly to suppress property speculation and concentration of ownership.

And then there’s a whole thing with the tax rate on a car being up to 300% in Singapore. If you applied that tax system in South Africa, a brand new, base spec Volkswagen Polo would cost over R2.57 Million! That’s not a typo or exaggeration.

I don’t know what Zille learned in Singapore, but she hasn’t been pushing for anything like this.

Oh, and there’s also the part where Singapore implemented one of the most comprehensive land expropriation programmes in modern history (https://t.co/dmEAHnb8H2)

Zille’s Democratic Alliance opposes land expropriation, racial quotas, state intervention in housing and property markets, and punitive taxation. Yet Singapore’s success she so greatly admires rests substantially on all of those things, implemented more aggressively than anything the ANC has ever actually done.

Watch this horrifying video showing how Nigerian drug lords are abusing girls in #SouthAfrica ... some as young as 6 years old... as sex slaves in Johannesburg, Pretoria, Durban, Bloemfontein and other cities by forcing drugs on them.

The video shows how Nigerian drug lords in practically every city in the country bring white girls under their control through forced drug injections and then exploit them as sex slaves in the most unscrupulous ways. Many are trafficked to Israel, Ukrain, Europe, and America.

17 Nov 1989, 20-year-old MK commander Anton Fransch held off police, Casspirs and the Security Branch alone for nearly seven hours in Athlone. Surrounded, teargassed, shot at from every side, he kept firing back until a grenade ended the siege. The Battle of Athlone Remembered.

🇿🇦 Read and weep... its about time the truth starts coming out...‼️

"I am a contractor and I worked at the Medupi Power Station. I wish to add a few comments...

"The working staff get the last day of each month off as well as half the previous day for pay day.

"General workers arrive between eight and nine and start working on the new substations by ten.

"Lunch starts at about 11:30 and finishes about 14:00
They leave at about 15:30

"These are the general workers pulling in new cables, moving panels etc.

"So very little real work gets done because of the short working hours.

"I was working in a substation. The air conditioning system was not working because the controller is the wrong type. It has taken four months to find a replacement. It was 40 degrees in the substation

"The two main chimneys at Medupi have been built facing the wrong direction. They are 180 degrees the wrong way round. This means the pipework will all have to be changed. The efficiency of the blowers will be affected as the pipework is incorrect.

"The management of staff is a mess. The staff sit and look at you if you ask them to do anything. They know that if they don’t like what you are asking, they can on strike and they have done it. So nobody messes with them.

"The engineer who signed off the building of the chimneys the wrong way round has disappeared. There was insufficient management oversight. The wrong air conditioning unit in the substation was also due to lack of management.

LUNCH

"Apparently the “kitchen” or food contract is run by the local ANC mayor or leader.

The workers are guaranteed a hot lunch every day.

There is a central kitchen and mess.

"Thus a worker who is an hour away from the kitchen, is transported in a little bus. His lunch hour only starts when he picks up the plate to be served.

"So an hour lunch break lasts 2 or 3 hours in some sections.

"When the workforce was on strike the lunch providers were paid full value – not just the profit section even though they were not supplying any meals.

"The lunch contract has come up for review many times and every time the same person is awarded the contract despite better or other bids."

Now this is just lunch.... Imagine the rest ?
