There is no going back. It’s a dangerous platform.

Hard luck!

👏👏👏 Best thing you can do for a continent that has contributed very little to the problem of climate change but will be among the most vulnerable to its effects.

iii) a large proportion of households who can’t afford electricity and qualify for grants govt provides for free basic electricity services are unable to access them. iv) some municipalities collect payments for electricity but spend revenue delivering other basic goods and services v) corruption

The reasons municipalities have unpaid bills is because of a combination of factors - including I) mismanagement of municipal finances and infrastructure ii) tariffs that are poorly structured and don’t reflect the true costs/avoided costs of supplying/consuming power at different times of day/year

Secondly, if Eskom power was “so expensive” and distributed solar “so cheap” customers wouldn’t stop paying their electric bills, they would disconnect and go off-grid. But 99.9% of consumers who install Solar PV remain grid connected because it’s least expensive “battery” you can find.

Firstly solar is not as cheap as it seems- flaws in the design of existing “volumetric tariffs” mean that grid-connected customers that install solar PV can avoid paying their share of the costs of maintaining the grid and centralised power capacity - which they rely on when the sun isn’t shining

Having returned from a month long stay in the US, it’s clear that this will solve nothing. It seemed to me as the casual observer that the US could use more unskilled and skilled labour not less. With an unemployment rate of 4.1% I am sure the US economy can absorb and benefit from migrant labour.

Hey don’t tarnish the reputation of South Africans - he doesn’t represent us just like the grubby little man trump doesn’t represent all Americans.
