Rolling blackouts + practically everyone at Eskom going on holiday = no sense. But, hey, what else should we expect from the geniuses that give us light?

Wednesday saw 13 000 employees of the Medupi power station in Limpopo go on their Christmas holiday. Good for them – please, go on your vacay when you’re three years behind schedule.

Eskom has repeatedly promised that when the Medupi and Kusile power stations begin supplying power to the grid, the country’s electricity woes would be alleviated.

The power station was supposed to be completed in 2011, but the deadline was moved to December 24th. Then it was moved to mid-January.

The engineers behind the power station laugh at this, and have called the site a “disaster”. THEN one of the engineers said this:

 They know fuckall about building power stations.

Rad.
