everything worked fine until the AFC took over running the nation. Now why is that, I wonder?

Can we send them our blacks and the illegal aliens to help get all the infrastructure up and running good?

Otherwise, who know what would have happened?

They should have gone with the Zulu King after the fall of Apartheid.

***The mother of four has been without water at her home for three weeks,***

Reminds me of an “OUTRAGIOUS!” scene in Lawrence of Arabia. Now how did they solve that....Maybe South Africa needs to do the same.

Isn’t it great to have leaders so in touch with the working class? To bad they’re not in touch with how to keep infrastructure up and running.

Tribesmen genetically and mentally stuck in the year 1000 BC, trying to run 21st century infrastructure. Their high water mark was Rorke's Drift, and we all know how that turned out.

For a peek at the same modus operandi closer to home, look no further than the Jackson, Mississippi water system. Jackson as we all know is run by the descendants of George "Kingfish" Stevens.

Johannesburg is not very different from the big, Democrat-controlled cities here in the US - where they embezzle and waste monty that should have gone to infrastructure (especially water- which seems to be the most common failure).

Between corruption and the inability to shut off access for non-payment, South Africa’s water and power infrastructure has been deprived of basic maintenance for years. The system is finally beginning to fall apart. Steady state may resemble Zimbabwe, given that the opposition alternative in upcoming elections is even more left-wing. Best case may end up being Nigeria, whose economy is propped up by oil exports.


https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigerian_energy_supply_crisis
[Currently, only 45% of Nigeria’s population is connected to the energy grid whilst power supply difficulties are experienced around 85% of the time and almost nonexistent in certain regions. At best, average daily power supply is estimated at four hours, although several days can go by without any power at all.]

“Then she says, the water seems to cause stomach problems for her family, but — to add insult to injury — she can’t even boil it because she’s often also without electricity.”

Sorry, Lungile, but it wasn’t always this way. Johannesburg WAS one time a world-class city. You probably know why it’s now a bleep-hole city. Elections have consequences.

South Africa had one of the most stable and successful economies in the world until the ANC took over.
