Paints a bleak picture, coincidence that the year Zuma is elected president the cr@p started, Ramaphosa who was tasked to oversee the SOE's including Eskom has to answer as well. Biggest bailout is during his tenure AND after "carefully head hunting" and selecting a chairman (no alignment to Zuma so no pressure) who admits he was not up to it and would not have taken the job if Ramaphosa had not asked him to. https://mybroadband.co.za/news/energy/340645-eskom-no-bailouts-from-1923-to-2008-now-r49-billion-in-1-year.html?source=newsletter

When the governments own departments do not pay and are in arrears, small wonder than in the street follows. CAPE TOWN – Following the suspension of trains in the Western Cape on Thursday afternoon due to non-payment to Eskom, the power utility has now confirmed receiving payment from the Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (Prasa) with power restored. https://ewn.co.za/2020/02/27/wc-metrorail-service-restored-after-prasa-pays-eskom-bill

Eskoms Soweto debt had been wiped out twice already, each time with a "stern" statement that it cannot continue. Now demands for a third time. In 1992 residents of Soweto owed Eskom 100 million, despite this having been written off twice since then, today resident of Soweto owe 17 billion, good luck in getting a 10th of that back. https://www.iol.co.za/the-star/news/joburg-mayor-geoff-makhubo-joins-soweto-electricity-protest-43514320 Future's so bright I got to wear shades.

Not me but wish it was. Travelling from Jozi in your luxurious family car to spend the festive season in Cape Town is old news for Pretoria engineer Sven Kleine. The 48-year-old father of three girls took up the challenge of cycling from Pretoria to Sedgefield last year, not for a cause, but the experience. https://www.news24.com/SouthAfrica/News/dads-passion-for-cycling-takes-him-from-pretoria-to-the-southern-cape-just-for-the-ride-20200222

That's some achievement. Inspired by pushing her willpower to its limits and the need to give back to South Africans less fortunate than herself, marathon runner Nontu Mgabhi has run seven marathons on seven continents over seven days. The KwaZulu-Natal woman from Richards Bay returned accomplished and full of glee on Wednesday at King Shaka International Airport after participating in the World Marathon Challenge. The challenge is a logistical and physical one that sees participants run seven marathons on seven continents in seven days. Competitors must run the standard 42.195km marathon in Antarctica, Africa, Australia, Asia, Europe, South America and North America within 168 hours. https://www.news24.com/SouthAfrica/News/feel-good-seven-marathons-on-seven-continents-in-seven-days-no-problem-20200220

Did not know there was one, one of the guys I sometimes ride with's company had a gazebo just after the finish so scored free boerrie roll, snacks and drinks.

Equally as dangerous is how some of the Vets ride, I know of 2 riders that went down on R23 and heard stories of others that ended up on the gravel after been pushed off by them, they fly past you then immediately cut in.

Kudu's to the event orgs then for quick response . We started in the same batch and by the time I passed it looked to be mostly cleared up with about 4 ambulances on top of other org vehicles.

This whole off shore petroleum scam had been used a number of years now, surprising people are still falling for it. Have they just got access to the internet now ?

That was because of road works, the land is vacant (just do not tell EFF )

Plenty of parking both in the stadium and the open stretch of land opposite.

7:59 start, including mandatory post ride boerrie roll and coke I should be back home by 10:30.

See you there

Which is why Carte Blanche was not balanced and one sided. They only screened those that have had negative interactions with SANP, following other comments on social media there have been many that have good interaction. Why not also screen those.

Not on this year.

South Africans are paying up to four times more for electricity than a decade ago – and that’s to finance stealing and cost overruns at the Medupi and Kusile power stations. Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan called numbers and statistics comparing Eskom of a decade ago with present-day Eskom "atrocious", saying tariff increases over that period mean ordinary South Africans are paying four times more than they used to. https://www.fin24.com/Economy/Eskom/gordhan-you-are-paying-4-times-more-for-electricity-because-of-stealing-at-medupi-and-kusile-20200122

Done the 116 many times, past few years I have done shorter version with a cycle to and from the venue I still get a decent distance.

Well trained officials with the correct knowledge and power on how to handle incidents, unlike the park rangers https://twitter.com/Abramjee/status/1219209838019956738

When car guards and intersection beggars embrace technology there will no longer be the excuse "sorry I do not have change"
