[Eskom the assholes who are responsible for electricity generation are just piling up debt. Even having a White man running it is not saving them. The debt burden keeps growing and it seems the government is going to let the taxpayers foot the bill in the end! Either way, I don't care. Let it sink. I love it. Sink you anti-White garbage.

South Africa’s government is considering taking over part or all of Eskom’s R392 billion debt as it seeks to restructure the cash-strapped power utility’s loan obligations, according to the International Monetary Fund.
Eskom’s financial position is of particular concern and requires a decision on how to address its “unsustainable” debt levels, the Washington-based lender said in a statement published on its website following on-line meetings between its staff and South African officials.
The local authorities are discussing whether the state should assume part or all of the debt upfront or continue making annual transfers of funds to the company, which could be higher than budget estimates, it said.
While shifting Eskom’s debt onto the state’s balance sheet would make the utility financially viable and smooth its planned split into transmission, generation and distribution businesses, it would precipitate a marked deterioration in the nation’s already stretched finances.
Gross government debt amounted to R4.27 trillion at the end of last year, compared with the National Treasury’s November estimate of R4.31 trillion, or 69.9% of gross domestic product, for the current fiscal year.
Surging debt and debt-service costs, the fastest-growing expenditure line item in the budget since 2011, are already key risks to fiscal sustainability and have been compounded by the fallout from the coronavirus pandemic, years of overspending, mismanagement and graft.
Transfers to Eskom averaged about 1% of GDP in the past two fiscal years, while its government-guaranteed loan facility stands at about 6% of GDP, according to the IMF.
The National Treasury didn’t make additional provisions for Eskom in November’s medium-term budget policy statement and Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana suggested that the utility sell some of its coal-fired power stations to reduce its debt burden.
The Treasury didn’t immediately respond to an email from Bloomberg News seeking comment. The government has previously said it may take over some of the utility’s debt, but never suggested that it is considering assuming it in its entirety.

This was a great 911 show organised by Steve of Liberty Net. This is the first time I got a chance to speak with Dr E Michael Jones. He said many things about the Jews including his views on how to solve the Jewish problem.

All of these Jewish fears are highly overblown. There is no proof that this military camp, despite it being illegal, was in any way going to be a threat to Jews.
