Don't want to qoute all of your misinformed posts about this ,so I will summarise it all here.

There is nothing wrong with the power sector of South Africa, the crisis is man made. There are people who want to private the sector.

And yes ,the minister is black, don't know how that is important though, but I guess you will let me know when you respond.
Of course, it is man made. That is what we have been saying.
Corruption and decay brought about by incompetent men.
And you are just under 70 million. You are not even half of Nigeria's population yet, so the demand for power is not as high.

With regards to the relevance of his skin colour.
Well I am sure my point is clear.

I can't think of much in South Africa that has improved under black rule.

Most of what is good in South Africa was already good or even better under arpatheid.

As bitter as it is to say.

Decay of what ?. This has nothing to do with incompetence, people who ran the utility to profitability & had a good track record in maintenance were fired to make way for people who would deliberately collapse the company .

Most of the electricity generated in South Africa has always gone to the mining sector ,not private homes, so I don't understand why you would even bring up population .


You can't think of much ,because clearly you don't know much. The apartheid government built infrastructure for 10% of the population ,so where do you think the rest of us fit in right now ? grin. You do know that the biggest * middle class * in SA is black( as it should have been ) ,do you think that population lives in townships?. I may not be a fan of the ANC,but they definitely deserve some applause for infrastructural development . Over 1500 health care facilities, two big power plants, thousands of schools & houses for the poor . Rail expansion to poor areas. Tarred roads in townships & now villages. Dams, giving all townships piped water ,& now almost all villages. Brt system,underground train, new airports & the expansion & maintenance of existing ones. I could go on, & yes they have failed in many major things but not in infrastructure.

LOL, wow close to a million people are victims of human trafficking? grin. Why didn't they take up the opportunity to leave when Airpeace offered to " rescue " them ?.
A million people? 600 destitutes? My dear, seems you have noodles in your brain
Re: What Is South Africa Doing Right, That Nigeria Is Failing To Do by Nobody: 5:47pm On Dec 14, 2019
Even Zimbabweans that have their country in close proximity can't be up to a million, let alone Nigerians

Are you up to 80 million?

You are generating more than enough power.

It is just corruption and decay setting in.

56 million

Its not enough cos mining and manufacturing takes up more energy.

Lack of maintenance as most power stations are old and corruption may also be contributing to the problem

You generate enough power. Inefficiency is the problem.

Your excuse is virtually what Nigerian govt use.
We have a lot of manufacturing in Nigeria too and the population is actually very very big.

But that is no excuse for poor power.

South Africa is what it is today because of the whites. if the white people in South Africa leave today and hands off everything including the numerous investments, south africa will crash within 1 month and become an IDP camp. The whites use their brain better than we blacks that's why they develop their countries and our foolish african leaders steal money from africa and run to UK, US and other developed countries to hide money and buy properties. That's why many africans are ready to die to travel to any of these countries.

If UK or US should take over Nigeria today, in the next 3 to four years, you will see things turn around. even if they steal money, they will still build the necessary infrastructure that the ordinary man will benefit from and it will be very glaring for people to see the development by the whites.

Infact if a country like the USA decide to do an exchange and tell all Nigerians to move to the USA and they move to NIgeria to start all over again, in less than 10 years time, you will still see Nigerians running to the embassy to queue for visa to come back to Nigeria because we would have destroyed whatever the whites left in the USA and want to come back to enjoy what the whites have suffered to build in Nigeria.

So don't rate South africa at all. na white people make am develop. e be like say the black man is cursed.

Yes ,it is. Let's say that there were 5000 Nigerians( mostly trafficking victims, according to you) in SA, why did they reject the *rescue mission * by Airpeace ? grin.

Like I said I don't give a damn if the actual number of Nigerians in South Africa, is close to a million as both governments predict, or there is only 2000 of them . I qouted someone who claimed that most Nigerians in SA are human trafficking victims ,so if that's the case why didn't they jump at the chance to be * rescued * by Airpeace? cheesy. Any other personal opinions about me, SA, SAns & the rest of Africa, I really am not interested in .
