ANC- CADRE- DEPLOYMENT COST TAXPAYERS HEAVY - but with the mechanisms of directing the public simple mind, these corruptions will go on until the " barn " is empty Zimbabwe -style ! Flying with the state owned and as mentioned above heavily subsedised carrier SAA is getting worse every time I am using it ! Ignorance and arrogance are on the advance. They leave a track of devastation behind.

dear God please makr it quick and painless for South Africa

Whilst we have an incompetent government in place, we will continue on this downward spiral,jobs for pals and mass corruption. pity the masses that vote these people into government dont realise that they shooting themselves in the foot.

I believe our Government and the Corporates that they patronize so faithfully, are of the foolish opinion that they are here to stay, come what may. They really believe that it would not be possible to remove them from their position of power. But, then, so did Rome and their silly, weak, corrupt, overindulgent, idiotic, god-men officials; - who all eventually were removed. If God be for you, who can be successful against you, is a truthful, proven statement. On the other hand, if God be against you, who, then, can not be successful against you. For this government to enjoy God's favor and support, they will definitely have to do a smart about-turn and start serving this Nation according to the conditions laid down by God. For the past fifteen years, they have done just the opposite; all acting like complete unbelievers and setting a totally disgraceful example to the world. This in itself says that their time is very short, and they better believe it, because God is no respecter of persons. Remember, also, God called you and gave you the opportunity to be in His service by being good and faithful servants to this Nation. His word says nothing about you being in power. This could very well be the last wake-up call to our sleeping Government; this before the dream bubble bursts: when those who voted them into service take the opposite initiative to remove them; even by force. You have been forewarned; receive this and respond with wisdom; not with foolish self-destructive pride. The writing is on the wall !!! Remember, sound-serving Government is only for the common good: not only for the corporate good !!!

Mothac, the best comment read so far !!! Eskom have proved their incompetence....let's open up the power supply game and invite others to participate.... the current Eskom leadeship have since all their increases and loans 1.) Not provided any more capacity 2.) Run a loss of nearly R8Billion !!! 3.) rewarded stupdendous bonuses to their top management 4.) requested more increases !! Let's have competition and competitive pricing of electricity please !! Further to that ... I would love to know what our brothers across the border pay per KWh supplied by Eskom to them...

It's pointless whining. Lip service is all the ANC will pay toward curbing excessive expenditure, whilst our money continues to be wasted away on military aircraft and ministerial perks. The Zuma Administration, ANC and TRI-PARTHEID cronies, are hypocrites. Don't waste your time, it's like farting against thunder. The whole thing stinks.

Rather stop all new funding to Eskom and get a second and maybe even a 3rd electricity supplier. Competition will be good for the end user and we will not be held to randsom by a single supplier.

Sniff sniff....does anyone else smell that....yeah it really really stinks

Disgusting! Incompetence and the ANC does nothing. Absolutely nothing.

scrap the Eskom plan to build new power stations until a full and complete audit is done of the necessity for them,and the type of plants to be built. We cannot trust the say-so of Eskom and what worries me is another arms-deal type situtation in the making, ie it now turns out that we didn't need to buy all those billions of rands of expensive arms.
