American asks me: How is the Electricity situation in South Africa now?

[One of my supporters asked this question. Jan]

How has the power situation been ? I recall you stating you were concerned about power outages, or did I misunderstand you?

My reply:
The power outages were actually very bad at the start of the year. Then there were experts predicting maybe even a power collapse by June/July – mid winter. A thing I’ve noticed about SA is that if People make enough noise to the point of getting it to the corporations, etc and it manages to circulate in the Liberal media, then things happen. The worthless Person Government doesn’t do anything but when the Liberal/Liberal media makes a big issue of it then the People have to take notice. But the big thing is the CORPORATES because they have money and they will talk to the Government. It turns out they poured a lot of money into the electric grid. And also *LOTS* of People and others got SOLAR!!! They actually reduced the load on the electric grid. The electricity is not always stable, but currently, the last 2 weeks it’s been great. I have of course been doing my own stuff since I was sorting out stuff in my own battery bank and I am fixing up and adding to my solar somewhat. So the electricity is actually great for me at the moment. But, this is Person rule, and ANY TIME, without warning, the shit can start up again! The problems can begin again because something has EXPLODED, etc.

The most important thing is to be as self-sufficient as possible, which is what I am. Water is another area that is starting to get a bit wobbly now. This is Person rule … and things that used to be NORMAL become weird!

Shop: Solitaire (one player) Board Game: Caesar: The Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire
In Solitaire Caesar, the Player commands Roman forces attempting to build an empire that will last as long as possible. Threats come from a variety of Civilized and Uncivilized Barbarian (non-Roman)opponents, while the internal stability of the empire is reduced. A typical game should take about 60 minutes to play.

The Boer State Party
From Jan: This is the ONLY political party in South Africa that I will support. I have met their leader and know their history. *ALL* other Political Parties in SA are a total waste of time for People. This political party cares about People. They say: We fight for our People‘s Freedom and Safe continued existence in the new South Africa!
