jl115: Stuf you can’t invalidate that video and the guys experience my mere words. Your zoo is on fire and I have my receipt. Just shut up and read up. Your power sector is just like Nigeria’s or even worse,you can’t tell me nothing man. JOHANNESBURG (AP) — South Africans are struggling in the dark to cope with increased power cuts that have hit households and businesses across the country. The rolling power cuts have been experienced for years but this week the country’s state-owned power utility Eskom extended them so that some residents and businesses have gone without power for more than 9 hours a day. A strike by Eskom workers added to the utility’s woes including breakdowns of its aging coal-fired power plants, insufficient generation capacity and corruption, according to experts. The prolonged power cuts are hitting South Africans in the winter months of the Southern Hemisphere when many households rely on electricity for heat, light and cooking. Small and large businesses have had to close down for prolonged periods or spend large amounts for diesel fuel to operate generators. Anger and frustration is widespread among business owners and customers at the power cuts, which Eskom calls load shedding.

(AP Photo/Themba Hadebe, File) JOHANNESBURG (AP) — South Africans are struggling in the dark to cope with increased power cuts that have hit households and businesses across the country. The rolling power cuts have been experienced for years but this week the country’s state-owned power utility Eskom extended them so that some residents and businesses have gone without power for more than 9 hours a day. A strike by Eskom workers added to the utility’s woes including breakdowns of its aging coal-fired power plants, insufficient generation capacity and corruption, according to experts. The prolonged power cuts are hitting South Africans in the winter months of the Southern Hemisphere when many households rely on electricity for heat, light and cooking. Small and large businesses have had to close down for prolonged periods or spend large amounts for diesel fuel to operate generators. Anger and frustration is widespread among business owners and customers at the power cuts, which Eskom calls load shedding. The power blackouts are here to stay say experts who warn it will take years to substantially increase South Africa’s capacity to generate power. South Africa mines coal and relies heavily on coal-fired plants, which causes noticeable air pollution. The country is looking to increase power production from solar and other renewable sources. “The big picture is that we were at least expecting (heavy power cuts) this winter,” said energy expert Hilton Trollip. “Eskom told us at the end of last year that there was a chronic power shortage ... What that means is that until we have a substantial amount of extra generation on the grid, we will continue to be at the risk of load shedding at any stage. The question then is how bad will the load shedding be?” He lamented the impact of the blackouts on the economy. “The most direct economic consequence is when businesses have to stop production because they don’t have electricity ... whether you have a factory, a travel agency or you have a shop,” said Trollip. “Whenever economic activity is disrupted because there is no electricity, that is a direct cost to the economy.” The power cuts are costing South Africa well over $40 million per day and deterring investment, say economists. South Africa’s economy, Africa’s most developed, is already in recession and is suffering a 35% unemployment rate. Small businesses in the country’s townships, suburbs and rural areas are among the hardest hit by the effects of the rolling blackouts, said Trollip. Buhle Ndlovu, a teacher at a nursery school in Soweto, Johannesburg’s largest township, said the power cuts increased her costs to run the school. “We cater to about 40 children here. We need to feed healthy meals to them daily,” said Ndlovu. “At the rate we charge we can’t afford to take on additional costs to buy gas in order for us to cook. Loadshedding has really made it difficult for us.” She said it is a challenge to take care of children by candlelight until parents come to pick up their kids well after dark. Some shops, however, are getting new business from the power cuts, like Uri’s Power Center which is seeing brisk sales of power generators, batteries and other backup systems. “I think people should definitely look to become less reliant on Eskom. I don’t believe that the power situation is going to resolve itself any time soon,” said owner Adam Zimmerman at his shop in the Randburg area. “We’re all aware of Eskom problems and people have various options whether to invest in a generator to run their business or home.” On Friday, Eskom chief executive Andre de Ruyter said at a press conference that the crisis was receiving serious attention and that he had personally briefed President Cyril Ramaphosa about what the company is doing to keep the lights on. https://apnews.com/article/africa-johannesburg-south-climate-and-environment-6d508d26614e7aee1a0e23cfc030dd6b?utm_campaign=TrueAnthem&utm_medium=AP&ut 2 Likes |

Shma: One of those haunting tunes of the Moi era when you were a really teeny tiny weeny, or even earlier, RVP can confirm. Apparently the rumors they died on their way back after performing the song were false. But the story makes it even more evocative.

Tayser:Kenyatta era song.I was born in early 80s.This song was played in Kenyatta day.We sang Moi & KANU praise songs often as he would be visiting often and we had to line up streets and roads holding miniatures Kenya flags...if you didn't make to choir to sing in front of moi and you would get paid.Moi had commission of music headed by some professor whose job was compose new praise songs to be practised by school.We were in North Korea or china type of dictatorship.These songs made you feel you were incredibly lucky to be a Kenyan....and without much of free media...many didn't realize Kenya was a hell hole.We were just happy to be an oasis of peace and development.We recited the national anthem and nyayo philosophy or pledge of peace,love and unity often.. almost daily 2 Likes |

rvp20182: We have to make it work whichever govt takes over. Including reducing the workforce and downsizing the entire entity. There should be a few good examples to borrow from. In October 2020, Dutch carrier KLM agreed to submit to a restructuring plan to obtain a government loan of €3.4bn. The plan – which involved a series of cost-cutting initiatives – demanded employees accept reduced employment conditions such as income-dependent and graduated cutbacks of up to 20% during the loan’s whole period. The deal involves a significant downsizing of KLM’s workforce and includes cutting 4,500 jobs, divided between non-renewal of short-term jobs and voluntary redundancy schemes. Other measures include reducing external costs by phasing out leased aircraft and deploying more efficient aircraft. Sometimes I thank good fortunes for never really following through with their Ab Initio Pilot Trainee Programme after qualifying. Was a very active member of PPRUNE way back. |

Tayser� look like we won't be having election for the president as Raila is getting scared...I hear opinion polls show Ruto post the well thought 250 plus best policy wonks manifesto has opened 15 percent lead.Now Raila is back to the default blaming chebukati.He was sleeping thinking he had deep state and system but those of us who knows chebukati is in Ruto prayer group and assured Ruto he will only read his name as the winner knows the real Kenya deep state is with Ruto.Anyway we are going to see Raila boycotting and trying to use the courts to stop election or try go for another handshake..but Uhuru I think has given up.Like the misguided BBI they understimated the genius that is William Ruto...now they show up get a dog beating or blame Chebukati the IEBC chair for their no show.Ruto not in the mood for handshake of any form.Raila must finally retire 2 Likes |
