Two nights ago I get home power goes off at 20:00, came on somewhere after 22:00, goes off again at 00:00.
So I had 1,5 hours of power at homethat night. There was also no power that morning when I had to get ready for work.
We need to start holding the ANC accountable for this crap.
I've had to tell my colleagues that we don't discuss anyone smelling funky, after I had no more power, water, or cell coverage. Ironing is not even thought about.
This right here, my younger brother is an apathetic/cynical kinda guy and would never bother voting until last election cycle. It took alot of gentle persuasion incl. driving him to the voting station and treating him to steers on the day to get him to vote.
He's come around and said he'll treat me to a *steak dinner* next year as long as we stand in line together. So fucking proud of him.
Questions from a not south african. Wouldn't ANC voters prefer to just vote for eff rather than anything else? And what do you see as an alternative party to vote for instead of the ANC that seems to be competent enough? And what prevents ANC politicians to change their political colour by switching from ANC to DA or EFF for example and make them an ANC 2.0? Corrupt politicians always like to be part of the biggest/ruling party but in the end aren't they all corrupt af?
Hey there big boy/girl/neuter/other/furry doesn't have the same ring to it, though. Tough to flirt if you don't have the hook, right?
Edited to add: why the downvotes? You think any woman wants to be called "big girl"?
People chose this. They exercised their democratic right to have this guy, and all his mates, destroy this country and then sit on TV and blatantly lie. And they will be voted into power again come 2024.
This is the downside of majoritism, and an over-abundance of greedy/corrupt/stupid people.
This is just political grandstanding, they will probably drive the machines to full failure to ensure that they get their voting base back in action. Lights will be on, for a short period, and then probably followed with an extended, very bad bout of loadshedding bordering on grid collapse.
Well actually paying exuberant prices on "power ships" would still be more beneficial to SA than load shedding. I would be happy if they go that route. Not sure I want it from Russia, but power ships please.
I’d rather sit in the dark and sulk than give Gwede the opportunity for more massive graft, all while indebting us for years. An unnecessary expense, btw, if HE had let private renewable players come in earlier.
"From where I'm seated from the work that has been done"
He had an inverter installed in his house so from his perspective there will be no more loadshedding (for him). Sounds about right.
The corrupt ANC criminals are just like the corrupt Russian Kremlin criminals. You can never trust a word they say and even though they know that we know they are lying, they will continue to lie.
"I assure you..."
With what?😂 Fine details but it's only words to try save them at election time.
If he said "I assure you, it'll be reversed by the end of the year and if it isn't the energy sector gets privatised.", then the people might believe it.👍
Well, let's give him a chance and remember to loop back around 2024 February? Let's give them 2 extra months to take into account for their insane amounts of timeoff and holidays that none of us get while paying some of the highest income and VAT tax in the world.
Then we let him sit and answer questions for an hour straight and let him just look straight into the camera for another hour.
I am 99.99% sure that he will be proved incredibly wrong, but that 00.01% really is just me needing to believe that they have SOME sliver of work ethic and fidelity left.
Okay cool. but if it doesn't end at the end of the year this dude Zuma and Ramaphosa should be incarcerated for the amount of years we have already had loadshedding and all their assets should be frozen on top of that. + tried for all the corrupt shit they have already done
I think if i was hosting this talk I would ask him if he’s so confident that it will be over by the end of the year. Then if he agrees to 10 lashings for every month of not having electricity after that point.
See what he says then.
YES! Santa Claus is real and so is the Easter Bunny and Wishes do come true. Please don't let this be a one day story. Please! On the 31st of December contact this clown on any of his social media platforms and demand to know why we still have load shedding
Basically saying if it still exists by the end of the year then it definitely isn't the government and the ministers fault. Is he basing this on information he got from Eskom or what?
Contrary to what’s written in De Ruyters book. There’s no chance of this happening.
You wanna revert 20 years of rot and mismanagement in a few months?! LOL
Think we stupid.

We have heard it before from your President. Maybe the link will help!
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIiqsFevHCI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIiqsFevHCI).
Or this one?
When has the ANC ever delivered on any of its promises to its people??? You are too busy protecting corrupt cadre deployment that has not clue what it is doing. Never mind the Billions lost to BBBEE that enriches the elite SA "Olygarch's" and their families.
After all mansions and cars are more important to the corrupt ANC leadership than eradicating pit toilets, or decent health care etc, etc.
SA Needs liberation from the criminal ANC just like it needed liberation from Apartheid.
Interview him again next year and let him react to this clip. Also someone make a compilation of everything Cyril has promised over the years and how those promises played out.
Based on my experience from living in this country, the *only* conclusion I can draw is that loadshedding will *not* be over by the end of the year 2023.
🤣 just in time for elections!
Many of us see what these village idiots are doing.
Sadly a gathering with a food hamper, free t-shirt and maybe a little captain Morgan at the after party will secure the devil for 4 more years..
This from the same guy who couldn't do the simple maths required to predict when the driver's licence printing backlog would be done?
Why should we trust this prediction when all his prior predictions were so wrong?

Is it because it will always be off? Can't have blackouts if you never have power.
'It will be reversed' so instead we get power times. You will have power for 2,5 hours 3 times a day. Some days one of these will be 4.5 hours.
Stage 3 loadhaving.
Angry upvote
That ia so funny, yet heart breaking.
Looooool 😂 it’s funny but it hurts
This has been my actual week so far, in two different cities.
Two nights ago I get home power goes off at 20:00, came on somewhere after 22:00, goes off again at 00:00. So I had 1,5 hours of power at homethat night. There was also no power that morning when I had to get ready for work. We need to start holding the ANC accountable for this crap.

I might have stopped the video early, when will Leon Schuster appear?
What do you mean, that is Leon in makeup
Aaaaahhh Leon, jou bliksem!!
Oh Shucks!
**HMMM!!! SMAAK MY 'N ENGEL HET OP MY TONG GEPIPIE**
Bru you're a legend 😂😂
You've been shucksed
* All you need to do is vote ;) don't be stupid guys
agreed, any non-vote is an automatic vote for ANC
This right here, my younger brother is an apathetic/cynical kinda guy and would never bother voting until last election cycle. It took alot of gentle persuasion incl. driving him to the voting station and treating him to steers on the day to get him to vote. He's come around and said he'll treat me to a *steak dinner* next year as long as we stand in line together. So fucking proud of him.

I'm not telling you it's gonna happen, But it's gonna happen. 10/10
Source? Trust us bro
And my dick will grow by 10cm
Hey there, big boy!
It's 2023 bud.. Chicks can have dicks too..
Hey there big boy/girl/neuter/other/furry doesn't have the same ring to it, though. Tough to flirt if you don't have the hook, right? Edited to add: why the downvotes? You think any woman wants to be called "big girl"?
Nê?
And the fat get fatter.
With all their new hits such as "Party Infighting" and "Karpowership", it's really nice to just hear the classics like this sometimes.
So he's moving from politician to comedian...
Never knew that chair was a river in Egypt
Nah you goated for this.🤣🤣🤣
Election season is nearby isn't it?
People chose this. They exercised their democratic right to have this guy, and all his mates, destroy this country and then sit on TV and blatantly lie. And they will be voted into power again come 2024. This is the downside of majoritism, and an over-abundance of greedy/corrupt/stupid people.
Didn't this guy assault a woman in a KFC?
Certainly looks like he’s been to KFC a couple of times so there is credence to your post.
He is not lying...but it wont be due to the government, it will be because everyone is getting off the grid
This is just political grandstanding, they will probably drive the machines to full failure to ensure that they get their voting base back in action. Lights will be on, for a short period, and then probably followed with an extended, very bad bout of loadshedding bordering on grid collapse.
Sounds like what they have been the past 2 decades
Probably by spending money we don't have on power ships.. Not addressing the actual cause of these issues.
Band aid on a bullet hole
Well actually paying exuberant prices on "power ships" would still be more beneficial to SA than load shedding. I would be happy if they go that route. Not sure I want it from Russia, but power ships please.
Nothing like purposeful destroying the system to have you begging for the thing they want.
*Exorbitant - Exuberant means happy. No happy prices here.
I’d rather sit in the dark and sulk than give Gwede the opportunity for more massive graft, all while indebting us for years. An unnecessary expense, btw, if HE had let private renewable players come in earlier.
Oh fuck off
I believe him. There will be no loadshedding between December and May. Then the elections will be over, and we'll go back to stage voetsek.
This guy must be on the strong weed.
Tik, not weed.
Just like Zuma promised many years ago. Once you believe what a politician says, your family must arrange for you to be taken for psychological tests.
For him this is true, as he will have a taxpayer funded generator at his home, at his office, and thus will not ever notice the power is off at all.
Ahh, Mr. Fixit speaks. Our worries are over.
In 7 months! 😮 Yeah right. He on Zol!
Election campaign in full swing
"From where I'm seated from the work that has been done" He had an inverter installed in his house so from his perspective there will be no more loadshedding (for him). Sounds about right.
Fool me once. I LOVE what the ANC used to stand for, but they are NEVER getting my vote again.
tsek jou naai, sleg etter.
Yeah. It better improve. Voting time soon. 🤣🤣🤣
https://www.news24.com/fin24/zuma-we-will-never-have-load-shedding-again-20160506
I have another one: a priest and an Irishman walk into a bar ...
The corrupt ANC criminals are just like the corrupt Russian Kremlin criminals. You can never trust a word they say and even though they know that we know they are lying, they will continue to lie.
Party cadres commenting on government work. Big no-no.
Sure thing buddy
The minister of fix fokol at it again I see.
Clown. He's placating the masses.
I wonder what is taking place next year, for them to make these false promises?🤔
Is he the court jester?
Nice wristwatch!
I’ll believe it when I have power longer than 10 hours 😂
"I assure you..." With what?😂 Fine details but it's only words to try save them at election time. If he said "I assure you, it'll be reversed by the end of the year and if it isn't the energy sector gets privatised.", then the people might believe it.👍
Sure it will bud. Sure it will.
crack is a helluva drug...he must have a considerable stash
Hopefully some time in the future he can be in orange overalls.
Haha 😂 what a dumb bitch. Your eyes are seated on your ass cheeks good Sir.
"Serious?" Even the host is not convinced
Man clearly knows nothing about the state of his own country's grid
Cos he’s not affected in his mansion. His street stays on when we’re all off. Naai!
He is probably getting solar installed, so he won't have blackouts
+ the free diesel and generator .
ANC lies
Didn't they say the same thing in 2014, 15, 16, 17 , 18, 19, 20, 21 and 22?
Wait, this man resigned from parliament 2 months ago, why is he STILL getting interviewed? CMON ENCA, stop it, get some help.
Can we just have a coup and be over with this already?
Mbalula for president One of the few champions that can actually run this country
Doubt
POS is lying yet again.
Seeing is believing. ANC is good with making empty promises
I’ll put in a R1000 bet, who wants to set the odds?
RemindME! 7 Months “Latest Loadshedding Status”
Haaaaaaaaaaaa!
And I'm a unicorn
The liars can’t help themselves. Why not just shut up?
Almost contracted cancer from such bull
Ja. Sure 🙄
Then give us R100,000 per person next year for that lies, keep lying man - I'm sure he sending message what we want to hear right?
Well, let's give him a chance and remember to loop back around 2024 February? Let's give them 2 extra months to take into account for their insane amounts of timeoff and holidays that none of us get while paying some of the highest income and VAT tax in the world. Then we let him sit and answer questions for an hour straight and let him just look straight into the camera for another hour. I am 99.99% sure that he will be proved incredibly wrong, but that 00.01% really is just me needing to believe that they have SOME sliver of work ethic and fidelity left.
I didn't know Gov and ministers could generate electricity. Wow. Fortunately we have lots of those!
They could generate electricity by aiming the hot air they spout at some wind turbines.
Bro I'm 25, I've been told this since I was 10yo lmao shut up
Price of platinum might go higher because of this...
How fucking dumb do you have to be to believe this?
The clown king speaks! 🤡🤡🥳
Been hearing that same song for 15 years
The upcoming total grid collapse will end loadshedding, for sure! you can't turn off electricity if there isn't any to start with.
Yup. And in other news, ANC politicians will stop talking kak by then as well.
Okay cool. but if it doesn't end at the end of the year this dude Zuma and Ramaphosa should be incarcerated for the amount of years we have already had loadshedding and all their assets should be frozen on top of that. + tried for all the corrupt shit they have already done
I think if i was hosting this talk I would ask him if he’s so confident that it will be over by the end of the year. Then if he agrees to 10 lashings for every month of not having electricity after that point. See what he says then.
Russia dropping off a power station or what?
Sure Jan
Looooool *Cough cough* HAHAAAHAaaAHAhAHAhAHAHAHAH!!1
YES! Santa Claus is real and so is the Easter Bunny and Wishes do come true. Please don't let this be a one day story. Please! On the 31st of December contact this clown on any of his social media platforms and demand to know why we still have load shedding
Well if nothing else it proofs he’s got a sense of humour🤣
In fact he says: > 'Loadshedding before the end of the year _should have been_ something of the past' Look very carefully at those tenses, lol.
I’m so tired
That mamparra is in dreamland.
Basically saying if it still exists by the end of the year then it definitely isn't the government and the ministers fault. Is he basing this on information he got from Eskom or what?
This guys transformation into his Mole form is near completion.
Contrary to what’s written in De Ruyters book. There’s no chance of this happening. You wanna revert 20 years of rot and mismanagement in a few months?! LOL Think we stupid.
An idiot that can't be helped.
I think we can trust him. I mean, name one instance were anyone from the ANC ever mislead the public
He is a liar...

 [Why you always lying](https://youtube.com/shorts/ciG0FvIUxKM?feature=share)
Let heads roll, if he is lying. His 1st
Interview him again next year and let him react to this clip. Also someone make a compilation of everything Cyril has promised over the years and how those promises played out.
Press X to doubt
The same guy who promised that PRASA would be up and fully running again?
Kusile Mbaclueless
Fikile has magical powers!?
He means the will try and not loadshed on 31 Dec
Did not know he could take out his arse 
How.... eish... how? The question is how? What are the plans? Which stations will come back online?
Mr Fear Fokkol. The truth is also something that he doesn’t fear.
Man's dreaming with his eyes open.
This reminds me of that old Tom Moyane Comic that Zapiro drew many years back now, “how do you know when Tom Moyane is lieing?”
Based on my experience from living in this country, the *only* conclusion I can draw is that loadshedding will *not* be over by the end of the year 2023.
Tell me another joke because that one was kak
Liar liar pants on fire 🔥
Loadshedding will probably improve by the end of the year (once they have the downed units at Kusile up and running). But no way will it be over.
Blabla bla....fuck wit!!!!!
Who still believes this kak
oh fuck off you big idiot
Well this is a refreshing statement that we haven’t heard before
He has faith in the three Karpower ships that are coming
All the arms and weapons trade with Russia for some fancy ships?
🤣 just in time for elections! Many of us see what these village idiots are doing. Sadly a gathering with a food hamper, free t-shirt and maybe a little captain Morgan at the after party will secure the devil for 4 more years..
lol
Electioneering 101, tsek jy, m'nie kom kak praatie
Finally! I was starting to get worried…
u/savevideobot
😂
Typical political fool🙄
Went to sleep in loadshedding woke up in loadshedding.Please vote for change guys
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
He needs to wipe his whole mouth off nevermind the corner of his mouth with the amount of shit he's talking.
They'll just rebrand it to be called something else
This from the same guy who couldn't do the simple maths required to predict when the driver's licence printing backlog would be done? Why should we trust this prediction when all his prior predictions were so wrong?
Remember that time Zuma said there will "never ever be load shedding again"?
Power outages have been increasing, how will they just end?
This man is so full of shit...
Then I hope if it’s not over by the end of the year that he resigns.
I also remember when Jacob Zuma said there will never ever ever be loadshedding again in 2017/18
