MCKENZIE WORKS UNDER THE DIM LIGHT OF A CANDLE

With massive rolling blackouts as the country experiences stage 6 of load shedding, McKenzie remained in his office and worked on his books under the dim light of a candle.

“I am at my office working now, this is 2022,” he said.

“Fifteen years of load-shedding, fifteen years, let that sink in,” he reminded South Africans.

“Fifteen years without being given a date of when this will all end, Unbelievable,”

PA LEADER DEMANDS CONCRETE ANSWERS FROM ESKOM

Prior to the frustrating blackouts, the utility’s management held an emergency media briefing last week to give an update on the electricity grid’s status, and McKenzie looked forward to the following:

  • Give us the solution at your press conference and nothing else,
  • it is what it is but what is your plan, please put time frames to your plan.

“It is unprecedented to have load-shedding at this scale on a Sunday, it will get worse because most firms, factories and mines are on low usage on a Sunday. We have now reached the stage where we demand a clear solution coupled with time frames,” he said.

“Please resign if your solutions don’t have time frames, it’s been 15 years of freestyling, we are beyond gatvol,” McKenzie vented.

STOPPING ESKOM FROM FURTHER BLACKOUTS

EFF has become the latest party to call for the Eskom board to leave office.

The EFF  called for the immediate firing of Eskom’s entire board, including its Chief Executive Officer, Andre de Ruyter and the Chief Operating Officer Jan Oberholzer whom they deem incompetent and useless.
