...Eskom CEO Thulani Gcabashe. Taking sheer bluster and blind arrogance to the next level Gcabashe stated :

"If there is only one unit available and a problem occurs, there could be power shortages. And it is likely that for a portion of winter, we will have only one generator. So this is a wake-up call for citizens to live more sparingly."

 

Yes. A wake-up call. To live more sparingly. Thanks for that profound message of hope Thulani, I agree completely - let us all come togethor as citizens and make some sacrifices for the common good! Of course being CEO of Eskom means you have already been doing your own bit of sacrificing and will be ready to lead the charge towards this Utopia of common sacrifice and universal brotherhood, right? RIGHT? 

Of course you have! Witness you having been forced to accept a paltry package of R13-million over a period of 15 months, oh the humanity. Yes in "light" of your fine example I will definitely turn off the bathroom light before heading to bed...

Just doing my bit. For the children.
