That could take some time, I don't even see it happening in less than 20 years, even for Western Cape. Although dysfunctional BUT Eskom's coal power can't be easily replaced.

However, you guys sit on some potential Green Hydrogen with that of off-shore wind-power potential.

Alan Winde has set 2035 as a target to finally generate enough energy independently to cover the demand for the WC, however the real problem isn't actually power generation but the Grid itself, he even admitted that they still don't know how they will supply the electricity generated since our Grid is fvcked

GreenandGold:
@jl115 and Lurker4Long

Is it possible to convince Aunt Zille to make the Castle of Good Hope like this?

Madam Zille can build all the castles she likes..... After she's taken me off the Eskom grid

GreenandGold:
This looks much easier on the eye

maybe a stripped/lighter version of the Rg35 could also work?

Lol photoshoot air force

yes because we can put enough platforms in the air to do it....wonder why it ain't possible in certain countries?

kabe1:
Unfortunately I was also part of this argument.

When supporters of political candidates lose in elections in Nigeria, they immediately claim fraud.

This election had one of the lowest incidents of violence, ballot box snatching, electoral offences and the lowest case of over voting in the history of Nigerian elections.

That is why I find it amusing sometimes when people say Nigeria's population is over 200 million.

I'm not saying the election was excellent, but the candidate with the best spread won the election as was earlier predicted.

Each of the 3 major candidates won in 12 states each for the first time in the history of elections in Nigeria.

It doesn't matter to some Nigerians, they are prepared to hate for the next 8 years as they hated Buhari these past 7.9 years.

We have seen it in this thread.

Fair response

Lurker4Long:
I don't think it is possible to completely avoid politics on a military thread. And to be fair, we Saffers did have a brief politics discussion a few pages back, without interruption.

I'm just being provocative my bru

Exnavyboy62:
While we are busy arguing about who is the legal President elect, some Mzansi's are secretly laughing their hearts out😭. Make una reduce volume na, we suppose keep this election secret.

actually we give less than a fvck.... What I am wondering is why are you discussing politics on a military thread.

@kabe1 why are you so quiet all of a sudden? You usually love to tell certain users to stay on topic yet you say nothing about this political tripe to take over this thread currently?....

Lurker4Long:
I'm happy with how they run Cape Town, but on principle held my noise and voted for the biggest opposition in the council, which is ANC.
No party should ever receive more than 55% ever again. And with the DA at 67% in Cape Town, the arrogance of power has started creeping in.

As for our ward councillor, we were not impressed and because many DA higher-ups live in the neighbourhood, it was made very clear to them that if he was the nominee, the Ratepayers Assoc would put up an independent candidate who would win. They transferred him to Parliament and we got a better candidate for whom I could vote.

100% seconded, you always need a strong opposition!!

South African Air Force is just as Hopeless as the South African Navy


Major underfunding means that two of the most important helicopter types in the South African Air Force – the Oryx transport and Rooivalk attack helicopter – are largely grounded, with only a handful serviceable at present.

you do understand we saw it the first time you posted it right? No need to go full ret@rd and repost things every minute.

From the pics, it's just junk metal kinda

from the pic it's receiving an upgrade.... But I understand you might not know what you are looking at.

GreenandGold:
I would take the ANC+DA coalition at any given day over the ANC+EFF one because we all know what that means...

However, it will be very tricky... the DA would have to sit on some state ministerial positions where the ANC is currently looting... I fear for the safety of those DA ministers, imagine the looters being told they can't get dodgy deals because the DA minister does not play along, it opens a possibility for assassinations, especially poisoning.

would be to obvious when DA ministers start dropping dead...also the DA would only go in to coalition with the ANC pending very strict conditions, meaning most of the big ANC looters will be without a job if a DA-Anc coalition does happen

GreenandGold:
The coalitions will be what makes or breaks SA. The way its currently happening, I don't see it working well... Look at Tshwane and JHB Metro coalitions, they crumbled because the smaller parties were working for their own interests instead of working to fix their respective Metros. It is clear that the ANC bribed the smaller parties to swing toward their direction and boom the coalitions fell.

I read that the DA was working to create a clear coalition policy for the 2024 election, however, the smaller parties are in it for the loot.

as much as it pains me to say it but a DA ANC coalition will be the only way to put SA on the right path again

Lurker4Long:
It's amazing how under-reported it was that the ANC's own poll put them at 37%. With coalition governments becoming the norm, we must amend the law to introduce things like minimum thresholds (5%) to formally participate in forming a govt.
The chaos at municipal level, where a party with 0.86% of votes now has the mayoralty of Joburg, cannot be countenanced at provincial and national levels.

coalition governments have not worked in any metro so far....that's my biggest fear for 2024

Lurker4Long:
In provincial and national elections, I always vote strategically for the largest opposition party regardless who they are nor their policies; unfettered power is never a good thing.
In local elections it always depends on the candidates.

local I always vote DA...simply because of how well my municipality is run... In 2019 I felt the DA shot itself and had to be punished so I wasted my vote on a smaller party

GreenandGold:
The ANC will get less than 50% of the votes, that's for sure. However, there's going to be a challenge with forming and keeping coalitions. The ANC could decide to team up with those noisy Red Berret people... Part of the agreements could be implementing their communist policies...

...but also, the Blue party of the Cape said they will not rule out a coalitions with the ANC as well to counter the Red Berret one.... It would be an unholy union... But what can we say.

less than 40% is looking likely, last year I was guestimating that they would receive around 46-47% but then I saw an internal ANC poll that put itself at 37%......and that was before the Andre de Ruyters bombshell...

Lurker4Long:
God! the rest of the country has to follow our lead in the Cape and kick out the ANC bums next year!

I'm not a DA member, but I had no choice to vote for them due to their track record in my municipality.

GreenandGold:
In a few decades, we will get there... we just need maybe 2 more 4000MW+ 💥 nuclear stations to complement the base load

not to mention the massive migration to solar energy by private households

davefurn:
What's happening about the rolling blackouts in southie? Is it true that the power grid is about to fail? I thought S/A were on nuclear energy source

It won't collapse, that's why we have loadshedding, and yes we do have nuclear power but our reactors are under going maintenance

AfriqueDuZuid:

....and of course, you have to replace missiles every few years, the more the missiles, the more you need to pay for replacements...and missiles don't come in cheap.

precisely

Exnavyboy62:
Weapons brother... they have weapons that the Valour class frigates don't have
16x anti ship missiles not 8
1x OTO Melara rapid fire gun not a compact gun
32x air to air missiles(umkhonto missiles for that matter) not 13 out of 16
2x double torpedo tubes, not built to be fitted for but not with

well to be fair it's as easy as purchasing additional missiles and torpedoes, it does have the same torpedo tubes and it also has 32 cells for the umkhonto SAMs

GreenandGold:
Please elaborate, I don't understand what the Algerian MEKO-200 has the Valour Class Frigs don't have?

16 asm vs 8

Shma2023:
Write well brother.

JI115, You're officially released from the quagmire of the "status quo."

You can now break the rule and go full berserk on attacking Kenya.

I know violence has no "rule of engagement."

Kenya is a sh1thole and SA isn't... Continue from that point.

nope never said SA wasn't a sh1thole however it certainly is less sh1tty than Kenya

Also I don't remember ever specifically targeting Kenya? I only respond when one of you idi0ts intiate arguments.

Shma2023:
The bolded is the reason enough why I called you bitter. I didn't know I can make you cry.
Few corrections for you:
Also, it's "Oxford English Dictionary" not, "Also it's Oxford English Dictionary."

"Secondly, it doesn't recommend..." not "
secondly it doesn't recommend..."

What if I stay in America?

Maybe we should cancel out OED( oxford English dictionary) because it recommends "Capitalization."

Mind you, Oxford dictionary is legally used in Kenyan schools.

Both capitalization and capitalisation are grammatically correct!

You need to take some rest.

Don't leave your L.

We all know you are a Kenyan stuck in your sh1thole bru don't be like agbugu on the military threads

Also it's " Oxford English Dictionary" not "oxford English dictionary"

Secondly it doesn't recommend capitalization over capitalisation.... It clearly shows that capitalisation is British English, the word "color" is also in the Oxford Dictionary,should we now use it over the correct "colour"??
