Flash : Electricity

Wonder! Today is Tuesday, we should have a blackout. Yes, for a few weeks, the government sent a timetable in every region to inform the days and hours in the week the city collapse into the black. In Nelspruit, on Tuesday s, Thursdays and Saturday s from 8am to 10am we are not able to use any firm of electricity as it’s cut for 2 hours. But because today is a day included in long week public holiday they let the electricity running!!! Great, otherwise, three times a week, in Old Vic, we are not able to offer the breakfast, or only before 8am. You can try to imagine the chaos it is in Jo’Burg when they cut it from 6am and 8am, no lights on road, Emmy told me that she leaves her home at 5am to avoid the chaos on the road with all cars stuck and the police trying to rule them… Do you imagine all companies without electricity for two hours three times a week, in a all country as big as South Africa!!! Generator are doing a huge business now, if you want a piece of advice for increasing invests !!!!
The government was warned 10 years ago that they must build new poles because South Africa will need more and more electricity, nothing was done, laziness? Bad management for sure… And now, everybody is reduced to live and keep their companies running 6 hours a week!!!

Des rapports établis il y a une dizaine avaient prévenu : il faut construire de nouvelles centrales, l’Afrique du Sud a besoin chaque jour de plus en plus d’électricité, le gouvernement n’a rien mis en place, si ce n’est prévenir la population et leur demander de faire attention, mais le message n’a pas été écouté vous pensez bien, comment ?… du coup ils en sont réduit au jour d’aujourd’hui à couper carrément l’électricité pendant 2 heures 3 fois par semaine dans tout le pays, avec un calendrier établi, ici c’est de 8 à 10h les mardis, jeudis et samedis !!! c’est incroyable mais radical, jusqu’à ce qu’ils trouvent ou mettent en œuvre une autre solution, qui prendra des années quoiqu’ils fassent…
