The latest is that Eskom wants to raise our electricity rates by 53%, but most of us think that it is outrageous and unfair! Why should we pay for their mistakes? Besides who of us can afford this kind of increase in addition to everything else!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let's try and stop them.
The government is prepared to spend R30+ billion on the stadiums for the 2010 World Cup, and a couple million on generators for these stadiums. Wouldn't it make more sense to give the money they are prepared to spend on generators to Eskom instead? Maybe then by 2010 they will be able to generate enough power to supply SA and generators will not be needed.
We could write pages and pages about Eskom and their problems, but the bottom line is that they messed up and should not hold us responsible to pay for their mistakes.
If you are against Eskom raising our electricity rates, please sign and send to as many people as you possibly can. Please press forward key and then add in your name before sending. Time is running out and we need to move fast!

If they had planned a little better and stopped paying millions to directors we wouldn't have the issues we have now. Stop giving free electricity to Zimbabwe too!
