[s]Patches, the desperate glass - heart fraud, you never stop spewing barefaced lies. The only nuclear you have are the 1970 relics built by the Israelis. And they lay desolate in the archives of apartheid which points to the era where the Boers held you down. It was a moment when south Africa was a theater of panic and mistrust. Both the oppressed and the oppressors were in a circle of frenzied state of fear and confusion.

Better call the Israelis to detonate whatever is left of that metal of panicked frustration before it kills you people.[/s]

grin grin grin A handful of Nigerians in jail is but a drop in the ocean when we turn your whole community and present and future generations into epileptic, quivering junkies. Damn, your young sisters have been caught with drugs at many international airports as couriers for their Nigerian pimps tongue You take out one Nigerian, we enslave a whole community of Zulus and turn them into vegetables and cold turkeys.

I heard the south African oblong headed thug who shot Lucky Dube said he thought he was a Nigerian drug-barongrin grin grin grin. How pathetic. No surprise Zulus and mourning/incompetence never part company.

The United women of south Africa with nigerian husbands, an online association of southafrican women diick-craving nigerian men and husbands will always shine forth to mock your claims.

Zulus can't single nigerians from Somalians, Mozambican, Zimbabweans. When you can't even single Jews from whites for your own political liberation.

You monkeys always target sparza shops during your xenophobic orggies ,butNigerians don't run Sparza shops, we're either professionals or running small to large SMEs or stuffing your entire community with drugs to keep them permanently at the bottom of the bottomless pool of unproductivity.

The whole of black Africa hate your Zulu ass. Zimbabwean biggest fm banned Zulu music, Mozambicans turned your vehicles crossing their borders. Little Mozambique even threatened to cut you off its electricity and gas supply grin .Even ghanaians lashed you out. #XenophobicSouthAfrica trended like world wide and it was created by your own south African neighbours. Zulu you can't Match me trolling to trolling or point for point.

No Zulu is worth his weight in salt. Zulu has never fought any battle and won in living memory. Shaka The Zulu was renowned for full hardiness than for battle skillsgrin grin grin

Hey listen, it took just 20 years for south Africa to go from Africa's leading country to Africa's cry baby having the least growing economy to a declining military and the worst crime stats, all thanks to Zulus.

The land of your fathers are in the hands of the boers and your golds lies below the castle of the settlers. Your only effort of relevance and reclamation is to chant "kill the boers" while you loot the sweat of Africa that freed you and gave you a chance to call yourselves humans again.

Is that you looting a Zimbabwean Sparza shop? Zulu thief grin grin grin
Sorry!! Lucky Dube was killed by Mozambican.

The truth is very very few of Nigerians have access to electricity with only three power stations which are operational. The majority use noisy generators day in and day out.

Today it marks exactly one month with zero load shedding in SA. We thank medupe unit 6 to have been successfully intergrated in our grid. Next year there will be two more and in 2017 it will be one unit from newly build Kusile powerstation and from there it will be goodbye to loadsheddings. Nigeria is not even experiencing load shedding a because they don't have power.

No they are South Africans alright. Maybe one was Mozambican........but hey, wait a minute. ...I stumble upon a very striking comment on the link you submitted:

Rondebult is half an hour from Johannesburg's CBD.
Very few women in the township went to work this week because rumour had it that "the Nigerians" were going to go to the schools in the area to kill their children. They couldn't take the chance.
The CBD was quieter as a result. Fewer people travelled its pavements this week, and those who were there, were tense

85% with electricity and your economy has moved from stagnation to shrinking by 1.3% grin grin grin

-If your universities close down for lack of water supply one can only imagine what the average South African suffers. With 25,000GWK of electricity load shedding should be an option of the table grin grin grin.

“Th[b]e situation currently in South Africa is that we have 98% of the water in the country being considered fully allocated. This means that my child and your child that is being born tomorrow has 2% of water for use going into the future,” then water minister Edna Molewa said of water usage rights in 2013.

Eskom first

Eskom has a 99.5% assurance of receiving water, meaning the power utility gets water before any other sector of the economy.

The 2030 Water Resources Group, of which the department is a member, has calculated that, by 2030, the demand for water will exceed supply by 17%. In most of South Africa’s catchments, demand is already outstripping supply, and it is only by piping water from[/b] places such as Lesotho that there is enough for now.
A third of Southafrican house hold are without electricity. Read the excerpt below and receive some sense. Your trademark lying and falsification of figures will be your only legacy.grin

A THIRD OF SOUTH AFRICAN HOUSEHOLDS STILL HAVE NO ELECTRICITY

The number of households with access to electricity grew over the course of 2013, according to the latest figures published in the Non-financial census of municipalities by Stats SA. According to the report, which looked at 278 South African municipalities, the number of homes with power increased by 2.3% from 9.7 million households in 2012 to 10 million in 2013.

In total, there are around 15m households in the country. Which means almost a third are still without a regular power source from the grid.

Stats SA conducts a non-financial census of local municipalities annually to measure selected aspects of service delivery of municipalities including access to water, sewerage, sanitation and electricity.
