RUNGS OF HELL

3rd December 2021

South Africa’s deep electricity crisis has its genesis not in the past 18 months and not even in the past decade, although it was definitely made worse by the toxic State-capture years and maintenance neglect. The crisis can be traced back to policy and regulatory missteps that date all the way back to the late 1990s. That is why those seeking to intensify load-shedding through acts of sabotage and those seeking to make short-term political gains from the crisis deserve nothing less than being condemned to the lowest rung of hell.
