JSE - No electricity!!

[Preston]

One day soon the JSE will have no electricity! Imagine what an embarressment that will be?

[SimonPB]

preston, trust me they have massive generators as does any broker worth their fees.

[Preston]

The question remain..Is the generator made in SA? Gees now i am becoming like Topgun

[#4]

One day soon Megawatt Park may have no electricity. Might make them understand their own incompetancy!

[topgun]

according to my normally reliable sources, the Matla power station near Witbank has stopped operating after a fire in Dec. but nobody wants to confirm. This happens to be the exact same time that the serious supply problems started. We are being fed all sorts of excuses, but methinks this is the real cover up.

[SimonPB]

oh topgun, yes a fire but no cover up because a simple google tells the story. http://www.mpumalanganet.co.za/viewnews.asp?id=12
maybe you need new source?

[CAPITALIST_RUNN]

if minorwatt park has no electricity then their computer failures will cause a countrywide black out - who will then switch them on?

[Preston]

Exactly , no one in the beautiful land is willing to stand up and take responsibility. We once was a proud Nation but alias we are going to be even Better!

[prof]

when i managed to get through to eskom to ask when the power will be restored they told me to look on there website.clever

[Brazen]

Bwhahhaha. Normally reliable sources? What, the moles that root around next to the bunker?

[#11]

..maybe the dude meant 'sauce'.

[Ega]

Great, but just how difficult is it to run a Generator without fuel, ask any Zimboon, every time just before they get it right the damm thing stops. :)

[topgun]

ah, so normally reliable source was right after all - I was told this that weekend - haven't seen it anywhere in the newspapers though. point still is, nobody seems willing to tell the country exactly what is going on and this is summer. must get that generator installed before winter!!

[Preston]

On an extremely serious note. I do agree with TopGun. The quality of life have just slip a few notches below. Imagine all those unnecessary deaths in hopital due to no electricity?

[Ega]

Hi Preston, I knew a Harry Preston in Eskom Engineering many moons ago, any relation?

[CAPITALIST_RUNN]

so what you are saying that all those requiring heart surgery etc must now first contact escom to find out if any cutoff's will occur whilst they are under the knife!

[prof]

i am seriously looking at emigrating as this is my last straw

[Preston]

Damn, Now i am extremely annoyed with my mother! She just could not be a normal housewife. See ya..I blame this on the Aparthied Regime?

[topgun]

if you live next to the coast and can't see beyond your nose then these things probably don't matter - for other people concerned about this state of affairs and actually understanding the impact of such mismanagement on the country, it does...as I have said before, it is a "free" country and we are all allowed to make fools of ourselves.

Eat extremely healthy and do a lot of exercise ! Imagine if the doctor say the following "Eish, it is too dark in here. I have no idea at what time we lost this patient"
