What is the issue

What is the issue

Author: Tomas Yoko
Date: 2018-07-27

Eskom posts a R2.3 billion loss for the 2018 financial year, and announces that it lost R19.6 billion, wait read this, nineteen billion six hundred million Rand, in irregular spending since 2012. And we are expected to just sit back and swallow hard

How did it go so far Where did all that money go How come nobody stepped in and stopped the blatant plundering Is this what we can expect from now on Is this how we shut down this rainbow nation

That's not even theshocking part, Eskom had ten CEO's in ten years, that an average of one a year, and now the state owned power utility has run up a debt of six hundred billion Rand. That's more than SARS gets in personal income tax in a whole year.

So bad is the mismanagement that our national debt is now estimated to be a whopping two trillion, seven hundred billion Rand. That's around fifty thousand Rand per person. I don't have that. But how's th Eastern Cape Municipality that allegedly spent ninety thousand Rand on Kentucky Fried Chicken. This is how we are stripping it down to the bone. Did we borrow money because we needed to steal more than we had Arggghhh!!!

China to the rescue, with Xi promising fourteen billion and seven hundred million Dollars investments in South Africa. Why is it I see a line of politicians rubbing their hands together with glee

Anyway Donald Dump goes on threatening the world with his military might as he tweets us all closer and closer to a nuclear war, if not with Little Rocket Man then with the serious and resourceful Iran. I'm hoping that things with Iran turn out as good as they did in Korea, but Iran is a different deal altogether. As he tweets Iranian President Rouhani, we can only hope that nobody tells Donald baby that Iran banned Twitter a while back.

I just love how the American media were so focussed during Donald's meeting with Putin in Helsinki. All they could think about and talk about was the Russian meddling in the elections. Never mind the massive cache of nuclear weapons that these two nations are sitting on. Never mind the hundreds of billions of Dollars the trade war will wipe off our tables, lets obsess over some banal election issues that happened last year.

Israel shoots down a Syrian warplane, Steve Bannon announced plans to spark the fourth right wing revolution in Europe, in direct opposition to George Soros, using open society foundations, and Donald tweets about his love for tariffs in trade negotiations with Europe and Theresa May is being gravy boated by her own parliament on a botched Brexit.

Russia pulled out of the American dollar dumping almost eighty three billion dollars worth of US sovereign bonds, Germany told India to ignore irritating US pressure and keep buying Iranian crude oil while the Nord Stream 2 pipeline gets ready to pipe natural gas to Germany despite Donald throwing his toys out of his cot.

Things just aren't going the way they should have been planned . . .
