Thirty years ago under white rule, SA was arguably the most
technogically advanced country in the world. Then the negroz demanded
whites give the blacks this magnificent country whites had built!!! Americans predicted failure since we have seen countless times what
happens when blacks take over - baltimore, cincinnati, detroit,
philly, st. louis, etc.

feb 1 2023 Johannesburg, South Africa
Car crashes, opportunistic criminals, rotting food, decomposing
bodies, bankrupt businesses, and water shortages. Welcome to life
under South Africa’s power blackouts.
Last week the grim extent of the outages was laid bare when South
Africans were advised to bury dead loved ones within four days.
In a public statement, the South African Funeral Practitioners
Association warned that bodies in mortuaries were rapidly decomposing
because of the unrelenting electricity outages, putting huge pressure
on funeral parlors struggling to process corpses.
Known locally as loadshedding, widespread electricity blackouts are
carried out multiple times a day by state-owned energy utility Eskom
to avoid the total collapse of the grid.
While the country has been experiencing on-off power outages for
years, since September 2022 scheduled blackouts have become routine, affecting every part of South African society.
South Africa is notorious for high crime rates, and loadshedding is
making it worse as home security systems fail when the power goes out,
giving criminals a field day inside unsecured properties. Policing
also becomes harder, with officers unable to reach crime scenes fast
enough due to congestion when traffic lights are off.A 2019 report by
the South African
Under the ruling African National Congress (ANC), in charge since
1994, Eskom has become synonymous with corruption, crime, and
mismanagement.
Institution of Civil Engineering shows skilled engineers have been
leaving the country in droves.
Despite spending billions of USD on two huge coal power stations,
neither works properly.
Older plants are dilapidated due to a lack of maintenance, and
organized crime steals vital coal supplies and cable from the rail
lines going from mines to power stations.
Something the media will not report.
The black government is paying white contractors from outside the country
to provide security for government officials and financial institutions.
The contractors are permitted to use lethal force during the performance
of their duties and in defense of their homes and families.
