S.Africa: Electricity Chaos: What a friend in Kempton Park City says & Exploding Substations…

WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

[Here is some feedback from Kempton Park where they have been without power for days. Kempton Park is close to Johannesburg International airport. Jan]

In ‘my part of town’, being Birchleigh, we don’t have a problem but when I was coming back Thursday night.

I was totally gobsmacked to view the entire Kempton CBD looking like a bloody ghost town at only half past nine at night. It was deserted, desolate from Checkers warehouse up near the highway (R21) going past Jan Smuts airport, (thats right, I said Jan Smuts), all the way through to Edleen. Absolute blackout my mate.

Hardly a decent soul in the streets.

And ya, I see the general consensus is that lots of other power sub-stations willl be going the same way around the country too. It seems these old transformers are designed for permanent 24/7 power, not the on/off scenario that Eishkom is forcing them to endure these days.

Apparently once they cool down, (which they’re not used to doing, LOL!), when the power comes back on, they’re burning out the windings at the top of the tranny (transformer) (where they’re not covered once the cooling oil has contracted).

Not having serviced them for so many years, (thanks to all these scumbag ANC councils rapidly reducing the service budget) so that -in Ekurhuleni’s case anyway- Mr Nkosi can pay things like McBrides almost SEVEN MILLIO RAND legal costs (so far)- and Mr Nkosi’s very own armour-plated mercedes Benz, (Yeah, why WOULD the Mayor need an armour plated merc in the first place?!).

-These poor old worn-out suburban tranny’s countrywide are not built to take the hammering they are now so sooner or later they’re all going to die out I’m afraid, some sooner than others. Don’t worry my babes, your turn will come and you can practically guarantee your municipality won’t have spares for them either, ha ha ha.

You really should invest in a copy of the latest Noseweek old boy, apparently there’s a very senior whistle blower at Eskom thats just told all, I can send you the article but unfortunately you can’t post to site because of copyright. Maybe if you Ask Martin Welz himself he might let you but it is their lead story this month, (so you didn’t get it from me, OK)
