ednited: We became famous of the famine. I remember when an Ethiopian diaspora told on tv how a white man touched his skin when he told him that he was from Ethiopia. He couldn't beleive there is any fat guy in Ethiopia.
There was this guy who also told an Ethiopian that when he was a kid, his mom forced him to eat his food and that if he don't eat well, that he would look like Ethiopians. He gets scared and starts eating not to look like us.
This happens everywhere. Even in Africa, Nigerians threw bread on us. You can see why many don't want to talk about it.
As many people don't have much education in Apartheid, many people don't have much education on Ethiopia famine.
This is the result of the media. The media is first responsible. In both Ethiopia and South Africa case. Second is the people to blame
rvp2018: I think Ramphosa as businessman knows what need doing - I think his proposal of splitting Eskom is long overdue. I am suprised it has NOT been done. Nearly every African country was forced by WB to split their "ESKOMS" into several companies 20yrs ago - in Kenya our Kenya Power- was split into a regulator, transmission company, generating company and distribution company. I think once that split is done - South African can hike the price of electricity for some time to clean up the balance sheet of Eskom - and help them pay off their debts.
I totally agree with the bolded.Another thing that's crippling Eskom but people aren't talking about is the illegal connections.Sooner the government deals with that,the sooner they lift off a heavy burden off Eskom.
TayserMahri: Thats exactly what I told my colleagues. We should be happy Namibia screwed us because at the WC we would have become the punching bags. I'll back the Springboks at the WC and Namibia too though I suspect they'll take the punches we thankfully avoided. We are kinda used to the oyinbos in your squad than the ones in their squad. Namibia felt more like Germany.
You never know man! The govt might soon demand everyone buy a generator Someone said your coal plants arent functioning optimally. Could be the reason.
Thanx for the support in advance,we gonna need it .You do know that Namibia and South Africa are cousin countries right? we share certain cultures and heritage with them,so you should accept their oyinbo like you have accepted ours .
Demand? they wouldn't even dare breathe such garbage,the repercussions from the citizens would be devastating.
rvp2018: ESKOM - is the giant mess - with debt of 25-30B dollars -guaranteed by South Africa public - that is about all Kenya's external debt. I read they are now generating like a 3rd of it's capacity -meaning 15,000MW out of 45,000MW installed capacity. Starting to sound like Nigeria with 12,000MW installed capacity but can barely hit peak of 3,000MW.If Ramaphosa doesn't sort Eskom - it could well take him down and drag South Africa to Sub-saharan standards. Zuma tried but got engulfed in Guptas & brought down the KPMG with it..
It's R100 billions in debts actually,I don't know who's going to bail Eskom out of the mess but I think it needs to be fixed quick before we go the Naija route.Zuma tried what? aren't we in this mess because of nine years of hell he unleashed on South Africa?
Namibia eliminated us in Windhoek but we complained alot about too many oyinbo in their squad Naija taught us . We still had a chance of qualifying because we made it to Repechage but yet again we got whooped by HK. Rugby-wise we are doing just as bad as Eskom and your economy I think we collected only two points in the last 7s series.
I understand from this thread you are competing with these bozos for blackouts. Can you confirm? Im afraid this thread is teaching you blackout bad manners from naija.
Yeah he was right,I never considered him black.
Too bad.if you got beat by Namibia just imagine what Springboks would have done to you but then you still would have complained about "oyinbo" in our squad just like you did with Namibia. @ subtle Eskom jab.
well,as far as the blackout saga goes,I'm suspecting political mind games.In two months time we are going to cast ballots and just out the blue we start to witness electricity outages? something ain't right..just my speculations but I may not be far from the mark.I'm not sure about competing with Naija tho ,we not yet at the point of purchasing generators.At least down here we are warned when the next blackout will be and how long the electricity is gonna be gone for,so you prepare yourself unlike waiting with uncertainty like our brothers in West Africa who can go for a year without lights.
TayserMahri: Actually its the other way round. Neymar is more black than Tiger if you look at their baby pictures. Tiger has natural Asian hair while Neymar has typical Negro hair. You talkin about his current hair which is artificial. He has actually gone an extra mile to make it look more Caucasian. I would understand Woods but not Neymar. The Rock is a different ball game all together because he is Samoan. Samoans generally dont consider themselves black. Here is one explaining theirselves.
Of course,Samoans aren't black.Black people just have this thing of assuming that anything that is not Caucasian should be declared black.
anyway,Rugby World Cup is around the corner,is Kenya gonna be there?
TayserMahri: Even Neymar doesnt want to be called black. Nobody wants to be black, even the blacks themselves. But you can always call yourself Kenyan if calling yourself black is such a tall order. These days we have whites who are injecting themselves with melanin and coming to live in Kenya and proudly calling themselves Kenyans. In the future, when Kenya emerges as the first truly successful and enviable black nation, the black world will be divided into two; blacks (Niggers) and The Blacks (Negus, ie Kenyans)
Well,Neymar's case is understandable since he got soft and straight hair,but Tiger Woods claiming Asian when there is zero resemblance?...pure madness.
Lol it's nothing new,whites have been injecting their butts to look like black women.
TayserMahri: We have them in these parts. I dont think they exist beyond East Africa (kenya esp). They are essentially black leopards (leopard niggers). In the case of South America a black panther is a black jaguar. So black panther can refer to a black leopard (in Africa or Asia) or a black jaguar (in South America).
However, we also have one Jaguar in Kenya and he is an artist and also a member of parliament. Any other Jaguar in Kenya is an automobile. All jaguars in SA are autos.
TayserMahri: We dont have Jaguars in Africa. Maybe in a zoo somewhere which I never heard. They split from the rest of panthera and only live in the Americas if I recall my velvet claw history well.
I didn’t know we had black panthers either.I know Jaguars are found mainly in South America,thought you guys just imported one.
TayserMahri: He calls himself the first Kenyan to be American president. Not even black so maybe black folks should take a step back.
We blacks always try to claim people that don't even want anything to do with us ,still remember when Tiger Woods vehemently denied being black and said that he was Asian? even Dwayne Johnson recently came out and said people should stop referring to him as black.
AskiaHarem: Fake News... The West labels every migrant Nigerian despite the fact yhey only represent about 1/30 with the rest being from France's puppet states and the horn.
South Africa
If they were graduating from Harvard you lots would have claimed them as Nigerians ,now that you can't handle the humiliation you call them fake Nigerians huahaha
